It looks very solid, but it in my opinion it has to be very impressive to persuade me to use a third party tool instead of the automation tools that are integrated with my DAW.

I'm not trying to degrade your product, which, again, looks great, but you just targeted an area that is handled quite well in most DAWs already.

Have you considered turning this into a mobile app? Having this run on an iPad next to my keyboard with immediate access may be a better use case than alt-tabbing between my DAW and Bezie. And of course there are countless iOS DAWs that could make use of your advanced automations.

Funny - I've actually had several people ask me if this will work on mobile or tablet. I guess I can conclude that there's interest in that. I think it could definitely be an interesting project and next step for Bezie - Thanks!
Now that's an idea I like. Somehow be able to have the virtual midi as an app on my IPad that can sync over wifi or even with the IPad plugged into my mac book. Be able to control the envelope automation, or other automations, with touch.

OP, have you looked at BitWig's midi controller API? I wonder if something could be done with that. I use BitWig.

Both TouchOSC and Lemur already exist and do this over Wi-Fi. I believe Lemur allows for XY parameter control but I'm not sure if it offers curves. (TouchOSC is more limited.)
Haven't checked that out - I'll take a look. Thanks!
