+/- buttons on pluto drive command

Hi Simon,
please consider adding two buttons, + and - , near the drive command slider, to be able to precisely increase and decrease the power output.
To prevent possible damage, using the slider.

i do that with my midi deck
instead of using a slider i configured two buttons on my deck as up down buttons ... (more precise as a slider)
and not to push those buttons a few dozen times (if you want to go from 50 to 80 ... 30 times) i added an autorepeat to the midi button (not inside sdrc v3 but in the midi editor that came with the midi deck
about safety for your amp:
if you go in the tx options and set there the max drive then you can crank it up in the tx tab without danger of damage
(see my example with drive set to 85)
(but the idea of plus minus buttons ... maybe together with a keyboard shortcut for users without a midi deck... is not bad)

Mouse wheel? I can add cursor key support for these sliders I think.

You'll not damage much ...
