Is that something new? Seems to me there were always devices around that 
offered interesting ways to control them musically. I think there was a 
period about 10 years ago where rack processors tended to bury everything 
behind opaque menus with limited real-time control, which users tended to 
reject. So things just went back to how they used to be with more knobs, 
sliders, buttons, etc.
