I would say so yes, its possible that an OSC schema spe will be
standardised at soem point that would make it easier.
not to mention the microtone-capabilities of your osc sequencer and
the sophisticated envelope control functions, which are hard to cover
with pure midi... :-))
Imagine a sequencer where, instead of little straight bars representing
notes, the 'piano roll' just allowed you to draw a line to represent
frequency.. with any angle, straight or curved (bezier), etc. Wow..
Control could be like that too, with overlay and everything, but having
that for pitch would be amazing.. has something like this ever been done
before?
Isn't this very similar to drawing the midi-pitchbend? EditTrack did
that in the 80's. You could also draw values for volume and controllers
if you wanted sophisticated envelopes.
IIRC mouse-dragging in the piano-roll would "spray paint" notes all over
the place ... Combine that with a synth patch with very closely spaced
notes and we are getting pretty close to what you are talking about.
Perhaps with a bit of portamento to smooth out the rough edges
