There is a top tag calles . Inside we define our mappings using the tags.
Control Tag
Tag parameters define the MIDI message, like the channel, note or control change.
channel

event_type
"Note On"
"Control Change"
"Pitch Wheel"
data_type :
"Relative Binary Offset"
"Relative 2's Complement"
I could pseudo control trim gain knob with a quneo's rotary/jog, jog direction was doing + and - operations on the knob, no control on the knob position
"Absolute 7"
I could control trim gain knob with a quneo's vertical slider, including absolute position by pressing somewhere. No LED feedback.
reversed
set it to "true" if needed, omit otherwise
One message has an incoming action and/or outgoing reaction or feedback. This is defined by the inner tag , which has a parameter called event that takes 2 values: click for the action and output for the reaction or feedback.
