Do you know about Lemur, BTW? http://zvukofor.blogspot.ru/p/binder.html

What you are suggesting adds flexibility at the cost of added complexity.

I watched a few of those videos and and saw a lot of complexity and no real world use cases.
That's why Reaper is a powerful tool. It can be customized in many ways, so almost every user can configure it how he likes.

Fine adjustment of the parameters isn't enough? One knob for a full scale (let's say, 0-127) and the other one that would adjust the same parameter's value in -32-32 range, so that the adjustment could be more precise.
Using a button to quickly set parameter to the middle value? Another one for max value. And the third one to quickly turn the knob to zero.
A pair of buttons to adjust the parameter by 5 points (in 0-127 range)?
A single button that would disable/mute 4 out of 5 frequency ranges in EQ?
An encoder that would do the same, i.e., soloing each frequency, or just dimming other frequencies in half?
All the above should be possible to map per plugin.

That means that plugmap should have plugin version/type header, at least, so if something major would be added in some version, the plugin itself would know how to handle the outdated plugmaps or, maybe, convert them into the new format.
