Better support for unique features of certain controllers #113
Description
Right now, the MIDI source concept in ReaLearn is very generic. Every major type of MIDI message is supported (except SysEx). This allows us to be instantly compatible with a great variety of generic MIDI controllers out there.
However, that's an 80% solution only. Many controllers offer special features that can't easily be used in today's ReaLearn. Examples:
- Feedback LED color (can often be influenced to some extent by setting source min/max, but that also influences the control direction and feels more like a workaround because mode is a totally source/target-neutral concept).
- Other kinds of feedback customization, e.g. centered LEDs, blinking
I would like to collect more examples along with the information how these special features are activated on the particular controller. With that knowledge it should be possible to find a good general way how to extend ReaLearn to enable support for such features in terms of concepts, UI, persistence etc.
