Feature Request -- MIDI map "Set to value"

Not so much a request as an idea or argument for the Modartt team to consider: the possibility of including, in Pianoteq and Organteq, both a "Set to range" and a "Set to value" item (instead of just the single "Set" item, which I believe usually or always currently implies set-to-range) in the options for MIDI-mapping of certain features (just those features or parameters where those options make sense).

In the MIDI mapping functionality for both Pianoteq and Organteq, the action taken often depends upon the parameter or feature being controlled. In some cases, a feature (such as soundboard impedance or sustain pedal) might have a range of values, while another feature (such as the switch for an effect, or a stop in Organteq, or the activation or deactivation of a harpsichord register) might have just two states (such as on or off, active or not active).

The MIDI-map setting "Toggle" (rather than "SET) accommodates many of the two-state features, with the result triggered by a MIDI event alternating between the two states, but in some cases a user might wish for a MIDI event (such as a note-ON event) to simply SET a feature to one of the two states (rather than alternate between two states), while using another MIDI event (such as a note-OFF event for the same or a different-numbered note, or a MIDI event on another MIDI channel) to set the same feature to its other state (or even to the same state, as a second MIDI-map entry to trigger the same action).

Even in cases where an Organteq or Pianoteq parameter or feature has a range of values, it might be nice in some cases to create a MIDI-map entry (or several) to set such a parameter to a specific value or state.

Just a thought for consideration, taking into account that in programming, while some ideas might sound nice, they can sometimes be difficult or complex to implement, with possible unforseen negative side-effects, or opening up the possibility of various end-user errors in the use of the added functionality.
