It would be fantastically useful. 
The knobs would need a pass-thru mode though otherwise once you go
into pattern edit and start tweaking, then return to mix in a little
more of track x, the volume could leap dramatically. 

Alternatively, there's those little Behringer boxes that are so small
and cheap. But this functionality would rock - if it could fit in.

Ooh, a weird one but a good one. Timestretching MIDI sequences eh? We
have Force to Scale, now we could have force to tempo.
