With the power available in combinators I think there is room for a special class of Rack Extension: the controller interface.
A controller interface is nothing more than a user interface that outputs the values of the knobs. It might even include some fancy display scripts to control the device, but at its core the device is little more than an interface.
This interface can then be routed to inputs inside the combinator (designed to support the interface) as well a rack extensions that are nothing more than audio processing devices without a user interface!
This allows something quite phenomenal; the separation of design and processing as well as injecting more life into the world of combinator design as well as giving designers an immediate outlet for their skills.
The need for arbitrary RE UI controllers, ...

Yes there are some controller boards but they aren't a patch on what a Super Combinator could be if it had 99 Knobs, Sliders, Buttons all with ability to be laid out and labelled like a DIY GUI.
Of course that doesn't quite match the way Reason works so is a huge rewrite - even if done under something like IDT.

You can go pretty far with one of Hamus ModPanels and the 10 Inputs of a Combinator. But sure a new Combinator would be awesome and was suggested for years.
