Midi CC (continuous control) assignments don't follow the midi standard much. #2

The midi in control is all working but it could be handled a lot better for the end user, it's laid out as a specification and a lot of the CC messages are assigned specific functions on a synth, this is generally so that you can plug a keybooard into a synth, set the fader to send CC 7 and know that it's going to affect the master volume, or set it to CC 91 and know that you're going to affect the reverb send level etc.

Deskriptor is of course a unique synth, and it has many functions that aren't really in the midi spec but to start off with I propose going through the midi controls and altering them as far as possible to match the midi spec, this would make it way more accessible to a lot of people.
