MIDI Controller Conventions

Linking Input to Output

Need input to be linked back to output for LED / slider feedback. This is necessary for banking, LED feedback and flying faders, etc.

I propose that the channel name (coming from MIDI IN) should never be changed and thus, said channel name can be used in control chain to send a channel to the MIDI Out for control / feedback. This would require picking a channel name format between either the MIDI In or the MIDI Out's naming convention(s).

Scaling Control Values

Should values immediately be scaled to 0-1? I think values should be left raw as long as possible, only scaling as last step before scaling needed?

Some instances might need 0>1, some might need -1>1, some (like switch indexes or rotation values) might need other arbitrary value ranges.
