LMMS
Better Vibrato Controls
Enhancement Summary
LMMS has to be my current favourite DAW software, but it does have a few... problems that I would like to be fixed. The biggest issue for me is the Vibrato control, which it severely lacks. As someone who really likes vibrato in his tracks/music, I would really like it if LMMS had any sort of good vibrato control, since the only ways currently to use vibrato are Vibrato effects (affects the whole track unfortunately) and rapid pitch bends (needlessly complex).
Implementation Details / Mockup
Maybe a better separate vibrato plugin, or a mod channel track to help control multiple tracks from one handy channel or plugin with multiple effects, akin to UltraBox. I think, even if the bare minimum for vibrato was added, it should at least be able to be easily switched on and off, so a sound can ease into a vibrato effect which can easily switch off for the next note. Adding a feature for vibrato to affect reverb would also be nice.

The most fitting way I imagine this could be added is a new envelope instrument tab.
That way:
- You could do envelope for a pitch to have a "slappy" sound (pushing this to extreme on a sine wave would make a kick)
- You could do LFO for a pitch to have a vibrato, which allows for precise controls like wave shape, delay, ease in, amplitude, frequency, etc. while having an interface most are already used to.
You can already use a LFO in rack, and bind PITCH to that, is that not what you want?

This AFAIK also affects the entire instrument, much like TAP Vibrato. OP asks about a per-note vibrato:

YES! This! Definitely, it sounds so simple yet intuitive!
And maybe another tab to directly control effects, because while a delayed vibrato sounds nice, there'll be some moments where I'd want to more directly control it to change the delay, so to speak.

Oooh per-note ! That would sooo sweet. (Its been on enhancement-list for very long)
Better yet: with this kind of feature we would be able to make classic synth-funk!!
