Each MIDI channel consists of 128 notes (n additionally each have a pressure control, 128 CC's (numbered likewise), a channel pressure control (also called 'channel aftertouch') and a pitch control which may all be mapped to individual MIDIMonster channels. +Every MIDI channel also provides `rpn` and `nrpn` controls, which are implemented on top of the MIDI protocol, using +the CC controls 101/100/99/98/38/6.
