HID Mapper
Maps HID devices (e.g. MIDI devices) to custom blender functions.

UI location	View Text Editor > Templates > HID Mapping
Usage	Create a HID Mapping script similar to the provided template and run it. Then you can control blender with your MIDI device like specified in your mapping.
Version	0.2 (2012-06-06)	Author(s)	David Gnedt, Manuel Steiner, Christian Voglhuber
Blender	>= 2.61 (except 2.63/2.63a), not:2.79	License	GPL
