[RWP] Configuring Reaper with Korg Nanokontrol2 control surface

[Patrick Perdue]

Hi Gord:

I had no problem enabling the input for control only, even with NVDA, 
but the part that got me was the control surface dialogue itself. I did 
eventually find the midi in/midi out thing with NVDA flat review, and 
made it work. Now I just have to figure out how to set min and max 
values, as I want the top of the fader to be 0DB, not +24, and figure 
out why the knobs don't always quite line up to what I think they 
should. For example, sometimes, the knob for controlling pan, when 
center, can be anywhere from 75 percent left to 50 percent right. Going 
from one extreme to the other and back again changes things again. I 
mostly want to use this thing for controlling effects anyway.
