Well, it was already possible to some extent, but getting feedback (which we are getting in the OSC bundle, so to speak) certainly makes it *much* more useful to set up modifiers.

For example, the top row of encoders of my BCR-2000 has two controllers: one one/off switch when you push on top, and another for rotating, with a LED ring to indicate current value. I made the switch button into a modifier for various things, e.g. to switch between pan and pan 2 values: as long as you press it down, you are controlling pan 2 instead of pan 2. The cool thing about getting feedback is that as soon as I push it, it immediately shows the value of pan 2, even if I don't turn the knob. Another thing I did was make a modifier for the knobs that control track volume, so that they switch to VU meters (not really useful to me, but still a neat effect).

And with all the feedback we're already able to get from REAPER, we can certainly make much more complicated context aware controller setups.
