I recognize using Midi is a good idea, at least for a prototype. But what if, in
the future, I try to further analyse the input signal, so that I can modify the

frequency/etc.. ? What if I plug some hardware sliders into the Joystick
connector of my card to apply some effects while performing ?

While you could record the trigger signal itself,
MIDI or an OSC based
format would be more efficient for storage and would make tempo changes
easy.
MIDI would allow to use existing and ready to go apps like Hydrogen
or Specimen. There's also Smack (TR style now, physical modeling
hand drums in the pipe) or generaly non-sample based percussion patches
for Om (or another modular). You don't want to (re)implement such
a thing just to get around MIDI (or OSC).
Plus, the latency from a pure software MIDI->MIDI or OSC->OSC connection
is not even measurable in human terms, your're talking microseconds,
eqivalent to sitting a few millimeters nearer to your monitors ;)
