Please implement the undefined CC numbers

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I have built a MIDI controller to control the Arturia range of softsynths such as the CS80v. The first limit I hit was usable CC#'s as Arturia do not support NRPN, RPN, sysex etc for control. Only CC and that is limited to around 118 due to the way they reserve certain CC numbers. So I asked Arturiato implement NRPN again which they took away in later versions. But this is pipe dream and may never happen.

I then started looking at your library as I wanted to make my controller more universal, support NRPN etc for different sysnths and it seems so easy to use I thought I would give it a go. Then I realised very quickly you do not support the Undefined CC numbers. This limiting the range to about 70 available CC numbers.

Describe the solution you'd like

Is it possible to simply inplement Undefined_3 for example for all the undefined CC numbers and allow them to be sent? It seems to me like an easy solution.

Describe alternatives you've considered I have no alternatives except to carry on with my own code because of this limitation.

Additional context Add any other context or code about the feature request here.

#include <Control_Surface.h>

USBMIDI_Interface midi;  // Instantiate a MIDI Interface to use
 
// Instantiate an analog multiplexer
CD74HC4067 mux1 = {
  A2,       // Analog input pin
  {28, 32, 30, 31} // Address pins S0, S1, S2
};
 
// Create an array of potentiometers that send out MIDI Control Change messages 
// when you turn the potentiometers connected to the 8 input pins of the mux.
CCPotentiometer volumePotentiometers[] = {
  { mux1.pin(0), { MIDI_CC::Breath_Controller, CHANNEL_1 } },
  { mux1.pin(1), { MIDI_CC::Undefined_3, CHANNEL_1 } },
  { mux1.pin(2), { MIDI_CC::General_Purpose_Controller_3, CHANNEL_1 } },
  { mux1.pin(3), { MIDI_CC::General_Purpose_Controller_4, CHANNEL_1 } },
  { mux1.pin(4), { MIDI_CC::General_Purpose_Controller_5, CHANNEL_1 } },
  { mux1.pin(5), { MIDI_CC::General_Purpose_Controller_6, CHANNEL_1 } },
  { mux1.pin(6), { MIDI_CC::General_Purpose_Controller_8, CHANNEL_1 } },
  { mux1.pin(7), { MIDI_CC::Expression_Controller, CHANNEL_1 } },
};

void setup() {
  Control_Surface.begin();  // Initialize the Control Surface

}

void loop() {
  Control_Surface.loop();  // Update the Control Surface

}

You don't have to use the named constants, simply use the actual CC number. For example, replacing MIDI_CC::Breath_Controller by 0x02 or 2 would give exactly the same results. The names in the MIDI_CC namespace are not magic, they are just ordinary constants, see https://tttapa.github.io/Control-Surface-doc/Doxygen/d4/dbe/namespaceMIDI__CC.html.

Well I tried that and it worked pefectly well, thankyou. I will now try and code the full 128 inputs (less of course the reserved CC numbers).
