I'm a bit busy at the moment (which is very rare) but I'll see what I
can do. Maybe it would be best to focus on the Filter parts of the synth
engines and then the controls besides Filter Q (resonance/bandwidth) and
Filter cutoff. So controls like:
* Frequency (Freq. control of the Filter LFO) !!!
* Depth (Depth control of the Filter LFO)
* Attack (A. val of the Filter Envelope)
* Delay (D. val of the Filter Envelope)
* Release (R.val of the Filter Envelope)

Along the lines with what Jeremy has suggested, I feel that MIDI CC
bindings for the ADSR for the amp and filter envelopes AND LFO params
like freq, depth, start and delay are at the top of my list. Also I
think it would be nifty to be able to change the filter category and
filter type on-the-fly via MIDI CC.

The following comments are based on what I've actually tried to do or wanted to
do with hardware synths as well as Yoshimi. Obviously it's all about personal
preferences!

Bearing in mind we only have 127 controls possible, and that some are already
used, I'm not sure what priority we should give to these. Also there is some
duplication we can avoid.

One that immediately springs to mind is that if we have full control of LFO
depth (which I'd very much like) couldn't we use that in place of delay? It's
only on really long notes that this is significant and noticeable (shorter notes
have been and gone before a delayed LFO comes in), and actually I would much
prefer to be able to *slowly* introduce a delayed LFO - or indeed fade it out -
rather than have it suddenly chop in. Also if that is done, LFO start phase
becomes irrelevant.
