Great tool!

What about midi learn, for tweaking sounds live with a midi controller?

What to control? What parameters? Envelope points too?

I would say: every possible parameter.
Looking at SurgeXT for example, the user can assign midi learn to almost everything.

If you dive into midi control design, you might also want to keep macros in mind. I can imagine it could be helpful to at least know about them. TBH I don't use macros atm.

Surge has macros and so does Zynaddsubfx:

And, while we're at it, there is this thing 'snap mode' for MIDI controllers, which is quite useful.
