Yeah, I guess it would be ok to have it as a control.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking as well, but I don't quite like the
extra "+ global_tuning" whenever you're doing pitch->frequency
conversion... Especially since you might as well have a "TUNING"
control on sequencers, scale converters or whatever you're using. What frequency does PITCH 0.0 correspond to?
I assume this should be a fixed value, as "system finetune" can
be implemented in other ways. No need to have all synths keep
track of yet another parameter to convert PITCH into whatever
they need.
I think that is actually a good way of implementing global tuning. Modular synth
style modules generally ignore the global tuning
anyway. They have there own 0.0v -> Hz mapping, set via a dial.
Well, we don't need to deliberately disconnect some kinds of plugins
from global tuning, do we? ;-)
