Cool. Real luxury would be having curves (comparable to GIMP's gradation
curves) so influence isn't limited to being linear.
For Ardour, a routing matrix is planned. I wonder if the requirements
might be comparable enough for a common implementation / shared code.

I have been thinking about mechanical looking switches. The problem is
that they look like something that needs to be moved/dragged, while
simple clicking is the only sane operation efficiency-wise.
You could use toggle buttons. It's quite braindead that common themes
make them look like command buttons, but you could add an icon that
looks like an LED or change the colours to make the button look like
one of those milky-translucent backlit buttons like Korg and Roland
use.

Would be nice to see them implemented.
As part of the Phat toolkit, perhaps ;)
Sven of the GIMP team showed some interest, what could lead to another
chance of implementation.
