Roger Linn Design • post-synth effect to control timbre/loudness?

New linnstrument owner here. I'm finding it rather tedious to set up each of my synths to respond to the Y and Z midi. Plus not all synths agree on CC1 vs CC74, or poly vs channel pressure.

What if there were an audio effect that came after the synth that altered both the timbre and the loudness? Call it the YZ effect. Sort of a modular synth approach. It would only work for mono sounds. (Unless maybe if your synth has multi-channel output?)

If the synth doesn't pass thru the midi, you have to set up another track. In Reaper, you can set up a send that's pre-fader and post-fx to a 2nd track that would have the YZ effect. Then set the fader to zero on the 1st track. The 2nd track gets midi directly from the Linnstrument.

Does an effect like this already exist? I tried to simulate this with a compressor by setting the wet level to zero and midi-learning the dry level to CC11. It worked, but it was glitchy.

Crazy idea: perhaps Surge XT could be the YZ effect? Since it's open source, could it be modified to receive audio instead of generate it?
