MIDI Rock: Stone
So I bought a MIDI Rock "Stone" joystick controller...
The labeled photos are actually the best documentation. The device comes with a small text file that introduces the Stone and reiterates the configuration settings.
However, I was determined to figure it out from the perspective of the MIDI signals it transmits. Here is my analysis of the signals transmitted, with the command
aseqdump -p 'MIDI ROCK Joystick' :

And here are the photos provided by the vendor:
I was hoping that each switch and mode would change every control. But no.
But after contacting the maker, I can reprogram with the source and the right tools.
