Description
### Enhancement Summary
Essentially [FL Studio's control surface](https://www.image-line.com/fl-studio-learning/fl-studio-online-manual/html/plugins/Control%20Surface.htm) plugin but in LMMS. This will probably need to wait until LMMS separates GUI from core, so I'm guessing this feature/plugin will be on the low ends of the list
### Implementation Details / Mockup
LMMS already has these control elements on its own (knobs, sliders, buttons), so I don't think any new elements are required to be created.
The lingering issue is how the control surface would link to the various control elements in LMMS. We can already automate a lot of the elements in LMMS, but I'm not sure how that's done internally

Research direction
Start by studying LMMS's existing knobs, sliders, buttons, and automation mechanisms, then review the GUI/core separation mentioned in the issue. The work is done when a custom control-surface plugin can expose LMMS controls and link them reliably, but the issue does not name specific files or tests.
