In-Class Challenge

1. Assign pairings for challenge and assignment 5
2. Main challenge:
   1. Design a variation on the input mapping using at least one parametric and two event inputs. For now, stick to no more than six parameter knobs and 16 pad inputs.
   2. Implement it by modifying the sim1.ControlLogic class.
   3. Test it with one of the physical MPD218 controllers.
3. Optional challenge: develop a new continuous-motion strategy and implement it by modifying the kf.path.Path class.
