Description
While the song is playing, a knob should provide an interface to set/clear the record of connected automation tracks. To enhance a looped automation recording live. I think context menu options would be the easiest. Drag and drop connection the most intuitive.
Knob should also have an "automate me" feature, which would add an automation track to the song, initialized with a connection, with the length of the whole song, and with the combined title of channel and effect names. Possible difficulty: I don't know if the knob is aware of the effect, and if the effect is aware of the channel. OK UX: context menu option. Awesome UX: ctrl+drag to the song editor.
Effect control window title should begin with the channel name. Then if multiple effect windows are opened, what they affect would be clear. Same difficulty as previously described.
I want to try implementing these for personal usage. Order matches priority, meaning that the set/clear interface is a timesaver I'd really appreciate, and the two other are thoughts aloud. Readme says I should file an issue first, so here it is.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are mentioned. Start by locating knob controls, connected automation tracks, the song editor, and effect control window titles; done would include the prioritized set/clear interface, with the two additional automation and title ideas clarified before implementation.
