Should parameters (e.g. velocity) be specified and reported as 7bit values (0-127) or as normalized floats (0-1) ? See forum discussion and GitHub Discussion.

These are the methods where the problem surfaces (by default, they expect a float):
- Output.setKeyAftertouch() (pressure)
- Output.setChannelAftertouch() (aftertouch)
Currently, these methods accept a 7bit value directly, through the rawValue option parameter or by specifying a pair of [msb, lsb]
- ~~Note() constructor (attack, release)~~
- ~~OutputChannel.playNote() (note number, attack, release)~~
- OutputChannel.sendNoteOff() (release)
- OutputChannel.sendNoteOn() (attack)
- OutputChannel.setMasterTuning() (msb/lsb)
- OutputChannel.setPitchBend() (msb/lsb)
- OutputChannel.setPitchBendRange() (msb/lsb)
- OutputChannel.setModulationRange() (msb/lsb)
- Output.setSongPosition() (value: 1-16383)
- OutputChannel.setTuningBank() (value: 0-127)
- OutputChannel.setTuningProgram() (value: 0-127)
- OutputChannel.setProgram() (value: 0-127)
- OutputChannel.sendControlChange() (value: 0-127)
- Output.setSong() (value: 0-127)
We also need to look at methods of the Output object
What should be the default channel value for listening and sending? I think listening on all channels will help beginners and doesn't risk clogging the system. Sending to all channels by default is kinda weird, though.
Should all values be zero-indexed (MIDI channels, bank numbers, etc.)

Add several usage examples:
- Vanilla JS
- React/Next.js/Svelte/etc.
- How to interface with other MIDI software on macOS, Windows and Linux
- Typescript, with examples such import and bundling (see Issue #82)
Electron/NW.js
The examples' source should be available in the examples folder of the repo
Add a CONTRIBUTING.md file
