Hi, oh it's been fun trying it out :)

I see, didn't realize that...

well, as it is implemented the midi-learn function I find it ok. Only
thing that would be good is if it were extended to all parameters, even
the sliders if possible (at least those that I tried didn't have it) -
but I can see that be a tedious work, so take it easy :)

cheers and keep up the good work
