The term controller is also applied to an entire device; you'll hear "keyboard controller" or "wind controller" used to describe hardware that triggers and shapes the sound on a connected synthesizer but makes no sound of its own.
The simplest way for a manufacturer to implement MIDI control of parameters is to assign the minimum value of a MIDI Control Change message (zero) to the minimum value of the parameter and the maximum value of the Control Change message (127) to the maximum value of the parameter.
These types of control are good candidates for aftertouch, a MIDI controller message that's generated by pressing down on the key after it has reached the bottom of its travel.

 MIDI Specification: Controller Numbers
Some controllers are continuous controllers, which simply means that their value can be set to any value within the range from 0 to 16,384 (for 14-bit coarse/fine resolution) or 0 to 127 (for 7-bit, coarse resolution).
To the left is the controller number (ie, how the MIDI Controller message refers to a particular controller), and on the right is its name (ie, how a human might refer to the controller).
MIDI devices should use these controller numbers for their defined purposes, as much as possible.
