[patch] envy24control: enhanced mapping of midi controller

[Dirk Jagdmann]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 584 bytes --]

Hello,

this patch adds a command line option to select a better mapping from 
midi controller values to dB sliders. The default stays as a linear 
mapping, which has the disadvantage, that a sensible area to adjust your 
volume (which ist mostly in the range of 0..-12dB) is in the upper 
1/10th of your midi controller. This patch adds a map, which consists of 
two linear functions, so that the upper half of your midi controller 
controls values from 0..-12dB, the lower half then controls -13..-96dB.
