Maybe... I considered Control as well, but to me, both of those sound 
more like single instances of something (just like Ports), rather 
than the Class/Type style (ie "Voice Pitch Controls") term I'm

*Some* plugin API or something somewhere must have something similar 
to this, I'd think, but I can't remember seeing one...
