-Mod translations work with all kinds of output, so that you can also output X11 key and mouse events along with the transformed MIDI data if needed. While mod translations are most commonly employed for MIDI feedback, they also have their uses in ordinary (forward) translations. The input message may be anything which has a parameter value, i.e., any MIDI message but `PC`, and you can choose the modulus large enough (8192 for `PB`, 128 for other messages) so that the offset is always zero, if you just want to employ the discrete value lists for your translations. These offer a great deal of flexibility, much more than can be achieved with simple step sizes. In fact, they can be used to realize *any* conceivable mapping between input and output values. For instance, suppose that we'd like to map controller values to the the first few Fibonacci numbers:
