Add Parameters to control/feedback transformation formulas #893

Hi @helgoboss,

I have recently restarted using Realearn and I have been very impressed with the immense number of improvements which you have done, particularly in the control/feedback formula area. One thing that I am still missing, though, and I had original asked in #11, since before Realearn parameters were a thing, is to be able to access Realearn internal parametrs in control/feedback formulas. I have looked to some issues posted since then but I didn't find any reference of this.

Three years ago you seemed optimistic this could be done: https://github.com/helgoboss/realearn/issues/11#issuecomment-682642047 Such feature would probably allow me to retire a lot of MIDI EELs I am still using as I lack the flexibility to store values and use them in formulas in Realearn.

Let me know what you think and keep up the good works towards Playtime2!

Can't look into this at the moment, too busy with Playtime 2. Remind me in 3 months or so ;)

Also, note that simply giving access to parameters will maybe not work as you want it. If the parameter value updates, it won't reinvoke the transformation.

I am a lot happier for you to focus on Playtime 2, instead of looking into this. I will remind you for sure, but playtime is more important to me as well :)

Fair point, which would make a lot of the things I have in mind a lot less cumbersome.

Good luck with Playtime 2 development! I was already thinking about emailing you about alpha/beta testing once I am sure I will have enough time to test.
