Creating an animation set control, step by step:
1) Add a "DmElement" to the animation set's "controls"
Give the control the following attributes:
"value" (float)
"defaultValue" (float)
"channel" (element)
2) Paste a reference of the control into a control group (see "rootControlGroup" of the animation set)
3) Go to the ChannelsClip and create a new DmeChannel
4) Paste a reference of the control in the "fromElement" of the channel
5) Paste a reference of the channel in the control's "channel" attribute
6) Specify "fromAttribute" to be "value"
7) Specify "toElement" and "toAttribute" accordingly
8) Ensure that the "mode" is set to 3, so that values can be stored
9) Ensure that the "log" is specified (otherwise right-click → set element → select the fitting data type)
