I want to create a plugin that allows you to change the values of effects or synths within the DAW, similar to how you would with a MIDI controller. In Ableton, for example, you can map a slider from a MIDI controller to the volume of a track. Can I create a plugin with, for instance, a digital slider and use it to control the volume of a track or the frequency of a filter via MIDI?

I thought I’d ask before diving deeper into JUCE. Thank you in advance!
