Yes, most things are possible. The challenge is to do it in an elegant
way that gives a usable tool.

I once built "a virtual extended EDP" in Ableton Live by setting up a
complex routing of all kind of triggable MIDI clips containing control
data for a couple of Augsustus Loop plug-ins. I almost got close (!)
to my real EDP, but it took a lot of time and effort and the monster I
ended up with felt quite fragile because of the big amount of explicit
routings (good thing with a coded plug-in is that all those
meat-and-potato routings are hidden).
