  Suggested limits. A person must confirm every limit before this device can be written.
  This is the first LPD8 in program 1, where the knobs send CC 1 to 8 and the pads send notes 36 to 43 on
  MIDI channel 1. MIDI can't ask a knob where it is, so each control reads unknown until it moves. This file
  only reads.
