Automation/modulation improvements

...as much as automation curves are probably one of the most requested features (and I don't disagree), I'd like to see such a feature closely connected to the controller usage rather than having a mouse feature.

So, what I imagine in addition to the traditional parameter recording (!) is having a bank of up to 16 curve shapes laid out on the pads, each curve type being editable via the knobs (curve shape, direction rising/falling, ratchets etc.). And then you step-sequence the curves by hitting the pads, the velocity acting as the intensity of the modulation and with the 8 top buttons changing the resolution of the steps. Ideally this modulation lane would have in fact two lanes like the Performer of original Massive, so that you can crossfade between two modulation signals (preferably via the controller's touch strip).

The modulation points of a programmed curve should of course be editable as well (via the knobs - shape, direction, ratchet etc.) and multiple points should be editable via selecting a range and then modifying them like automation ranges like e.g. in Cubase (stretching/compressing on both axes x/y, fade in/out etc.).

I'm pretty sure, all of this can be done via knobs & buttons (as Minifreak's Lfo designer proves). Being able to do this via the hardware for the Maschine software, but also to create control signals for external gear would be a stellar feature for me.
