I've never had the need to do a custom map of controls but the process is quite straightforward, just as you've described. Now, you specifically mentioned Avid control surfaces in your previous message and that made me have a second thought about what I said. It's entirely possible that the custom mapping facility, which undoubtedly exists, is specific to supported control surfaces. I'm not certain whether that applies to generic MIDI controllers like keyboards with a bank of continuous controller sliders. Again, I've never had the need to set up anything along those lines so I might be mistaken about the current state of generic MIDI mapping. I should look into it for my own general knowledge.
