Changes from the beta firmware

• The pitch knobs are now non-linear. The middle of the range is spread out over more area which makes the oscillators easier to tune - think of it kind of like a bell curve.
• Fixes a bug where the error correction for the knobs was applied incorrectly.
• Each firmware version now bears a Build ID.
• SysEx message formats were completely changed; the online settings editor no longer works with the beta version.
• The device's serial number is available over SysEx.
