/**
 * A {@code FloatControl} object provides control over a range of floating-point
 * values. Float controls are often represented in graphical user interfaces by
 * continuously adjustable objects such as sliders or rotary knobs. Concrete
 * subclasses of {@code FloatControl} implement controls, such as gain and pan,
 * that affect a line's audio signal in some way that an application can
 * manipulate. The {@link FloatControl.Type} inner class provides static
 * instances of types that are used to identify some common kinds of float
 * control.
 * <p>
 * The {@code FloatControl} abstract class provides methods to set and get the
 * control's current floating-point value. Other methods obtain the possible
 * range of values and the control's resolution (the smallest increment between
 * returned values). Some float controls allow ramping to a new value over a
 * specified period of time. {@code FloatControl} also includes methods that
 * return string labels for the minimum, maximum, and midpoint positions of the
 * control.

         * decibel level of the audio signal--that is, the level of the signal
         * before it is altered by the gain control. A positive gain amplifies
         * (boosts) the signal's volume, and a negative gain attenuates(cuts)it.
         * The gain setting defaults to a value of 0.0 dB, meaning the signal's
         * loudness is unaffected. Note that gain measures dB, not amplitude.
         * The relationship between a gain in decibels and the corresponding

         * applied to it (unless the maximum is zero or negative). To avoid
