Imagine a sequencer where, instead of little straight bars representing
notes, the 'piano roll' just allowed you to draw a line to represent
frequency.. with any angle, straight or curved (bezier), etc. Wow..

Control could be like that too, with overlay and everything, but having
that for pitch would be amazing.. has something like this ever been done
before?
