Better Morphing.

"Morphing, as implemented on the Nord, is a means of changing between two
values of any of the continuous knobs via the mod wheel. This feature can
totally transform a sound, by changing many parameters at once, or can be
used to add subtle variations."

We have been talking about Morphing as something you "trigger" then sit back
and watch.  I suggest morphing should be a parameter.

  i.e.
Your synth has a parameter "morph amount", it lets you morph between two
programs.
Making morphing a parameter makes it more flexible, because any paramter:
- Can be driven by a MIDI controller (mod Wheel whatever)
- Can be driven by automation (ramp from A to B over several bars)
- Can be tweaked 'live' from the UI
- Can be recorded and Automated.

It seems a much more elegant solution that having the plugin (or Actor)
automate the morph, why have the plugin do parameter automation, when the
host can do it?.

Best Regards,
Jeff
