enhancement: Control plugin parameters with other plugin CV/Control/Midi Outputs #76

enhancement

Description

Allow parameters to be manipulated by CV, Midi, and/or Control Outputs from other plugins. This allows for adding an LFO to any effect or allowing envelope controlled anything, and using the AMS.lv2 plugins: modular sythesis fun.

Expected/suggested solution

Of the 3 signal types (CV, Midi, control port) I think CV makes the most sense even though it will only need to set 1 value per period. As far as UX, needs a new kind of cable, perhaps for cleanliness it could be a separate view so you toggle a button that hides all audio ports and cables (or greys them out) and shows jacks for all CV and control outputs and input jacks for all controls. Or perhaps you must click an option next to each control to show a port in the pedalboard.

Ok, I just learned that CV is already there in the UI, but we still need a way to create a CV port from any plugin InputPort. At least I think we do.

in theory it should be safe to connect audio outputs to CV (just not the other way around). as of now you can just use an audio-to-cv converter plugin and you'll be able to do the connection.

Sorry, I was unclear, specifically we want to connect CVs to control port inputs for modulation/automation of any parameter.
