Every configured midi controller will be represented by a virtual gamepad, and the inputs will be translated until SIGINT is received.
See the provided example config on how to configure your controller, it should be pretty self-explanatory.
## Configuration
## Known issues
See `example-config.yaml` For an annotated configuration file.
The valid names for buttons are:
The midi library used seems to recognise NoteOff messages as NoteOn messages. However, they can still be recognised by checking the velocity, which is always 0 in NoteOff messages. A workaround has been implemented.

### Finding the MIDI channel and note / controller
Many vendors provide official documentation on the MIDI commands sent by their devices, but if you are unable to find them, you can use `aseqdump -p <port>` to print all MIDI messages sent by your device. Simply interact with the controls you want to map and you will see the corresponding messages.
