As a musician, I want to write or arrange music in music notation using software like Sibelius so I can have the music played using MIDI on physical instruments. Each note that is played has a written pitch including accidentals and octaves, a MIDI number, a channel number, and the note, effect, function, or sound that happens when that note is played. A configuration listing a set of notes and their actions is defined in a table that I’m calling the MIDI Map.
Here's an example of fields I envision for a MIDI map:
Written note
Written octave
MIDI number
MIDI channel
Output (pitch, unpitched sound, function, or effect)
Sounding note
Sounding octave
Unpitched sound (i.e. name of drum)
Function (which register)
Effect (power toggle, function reset)
