I'm pleased to report that I solved my problem.
The trick is to add an option of Rot64 in the .xml midi map to each of the
controls that are specified to receive midi controller data from the DM2.
For example:
<control>
<group>[Channel1]</group>
<key>pregain</key>
<miditype>Ctrl</miditype>
<midino>23</midino>
<midichan>1</midichan>
<options><rot64/></options>
</control>
Other useful controls to assign rot64 to are volume, rate, pfl, and the
filters.
I can share an .xml file if this is the appropriate place to do so.
For some unexplained reason, my rate_perm functions are also moving in
increments of .002% after this change. Super cool!
