scripts/calculations in Virtual Console

One of the biggest missing features for me compared to commercial alternatives is the ability to build scripts that do some math on the underlying DMX data and values of controls. Here are a few examples of things that would be quite easy to implement with such a feature and bring a huge quality of life improvement:
  • Display the CCT resulting from a value on a DMX channel instead of having to work off of an external table
  • Have controls creating RGB values that can be altered (either converted to a standard color space or converted to a non-RGB representation such as xy or CYM for output to a fixture)
  • For DMX channels that have discrete functions based on value (such as color on a color wheel or gobos) be able to display the actual value
I'm sure there are countless other uses that I haven't thought about. Is something like this in the works?
