Description

A new controller that:

Would be immensely useful. It would for example do everything Kickstart does and more (edit: assuming the midi side chain BaraMGB mentioned is implemented), but natively (and for free).

This is technically possible today with the existing LFO controller, but it's cumbersome. I think it'd be best this were a separate plugin rather than a replacement/upgrade for the LFO controller.

EDIT: I won't assign myself yet, but if no one is working on this by the time my current PRs are closed, I'll give it a shot.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing LFO controller and the envelope graph work referenced in pull request 4367. Clarify how arbitrary envelope drawing, default one-beat synchronization, and the mentioned MIDI side chain should work together. Done means a separate controller plugin provides the proposed envelope behavior without replacing the existing LFO controller.
