- mVControl (MIDI Volume Control) (v1.04) 
 -------------------------------- -

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- purpose
 ---------------------
 This tool allows you to "natively" control the output/input volumes and mute-states
 of your installed Audio devices by using a MIDI-controller or -key of your choice.
 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- installation
 ---------------------
 The executable can be run from anywhere you like.
 No installation required.
 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
- usage
 ---------------------
 Simply choose your MIDI-In device, press [MIDI learn] on an Audio device panel
 and move a MIDI controller or hit a MIDI note key to assign to the devices volume control.
 The MIDI input device can also be disabled, in case you need it in another application.  
 
 Controllers (knobs, faders) control the actual volume and note keys
 (from your MIDI-keyboard) control the mute state of an Audio device.
 
 Pressing the [Esc] key minimizes mVControl to system tray.
 From the tray icon a context menu is available.
 
 Check the "AutoRun" and "Start minimized" options to make mVControl start with Windows.
