There is a slightly sneaky way that you can make larger modular set-ups in a DAW or other host, which I use occasionally.
When routing a DAW channel or aux send, there's usually no processing of the signal unless you want there to be - so there's nothing to stop you from sending control signals via the audio routing. I've made a few plugins which use this to pass timing signals between each other via auxilliary audio inputs and outputs (the host must be able to handle multi-channel tracks, of course.) As most DAWs these days use floating point values internally for audio, you're not even restricted to the usual -1.0....1.0 range (just be careful what get's routed to your ears!)
