Turntable Digital/Analog Configuration (Bemani branch only)

The Bemani branch includes a hack for the turntable that allows you to switch between digital and analog inputs for the turntable. Press tab > go to Machine Configuration to find the settings. Please note that the Bemani branch has separate keybinds for digital and analog turntables. It is recommended you use the "Turntable (Analog) Analog" keybinds for controllers with digital inputs (anything that works with an absolute turntable value, such as the turntables that work with Infinitas), and "Turntable (Digital) Analog Inc" and "Turntable (Digital) Analog Dec" keybinds for controllers with digital inputs (such as a KOC that are left/right buttons only).
