Some people only have got a keyboard with a data slider, e.g. the DX7

has got one, sending CC 6 (RPN-/NRPN-Controller). I once wrote an app

for the C64 converting those controllers that can't be changed by the

keyboards them self, so I was able to control any other controller for

my Atari ST, resp. hardware synth and effects.
I guess such a CC mapping manager is useful for Linux too and would

solve Louigi's problem. Unfortunately I can't help, because I can't

program for Linux, but such a task isn't something that needs much

effort to be programmed for people who are familiar with the OS and C.
