Description

I think a keytrack controller that would track the note cv (or rather value) and would be assignable to other controls could be really great addition.

More about it.
Ideally it could change eq and filter cutoff values, and could add offset (otherwise a dc offset to the note cv value). I think having something like that would open up a lot of possibilities.

However there are major issues to the idea.
One that comes straight to mind is (if getting the note values from an instrument is possible)
is that this would only work as long as there is only one note (while its mono).

Theres probably obviously way more that I don't know of.
But still, I would like to discus the idea if its possible.

Thank you.
