[sdiy] MIDI volume to volts formula

[Roman Sowa]

There's no rule for that. Good keyboards give the users at least a few 
velocity curves to choose from, and best if you could let the user 
actually draw custom one.
And yes, use look up table, that's only 127 entries.
The best velocity curve can be set by ear, what suits your playing style.
