Can I use keyboard note keys to control a single envelope?

I would like to be able to assign all of the MIDI keyboard note keys to a chosen envelope. Is this possible?
The idea is that when I press a higher note, a higher value is sent to the envelope. Pressing a lower note would send a lower value.

You can set the range of your keyboard to a parameter by going to midi map mode, clicking the parameter, holding down the bottom note of your keyboard, and then hitting the top note

Sorry for sounding dumb but for some reason it's not working for me. This is what I've done:
1) Turn ON MIDI Map Mode
2) Open the VSTi and move a desired knob
3) While holding the lowest note on the MIDI keyboard I press the highest note
4) Turn OFF MIDI Map Mode
However, now when I hit the note keys it just plays the VSTi instead of changing the knob values. Am I missing some step?

What's the VST? In most cases, you have to configure the knobs/faders to work in live.
In massive, for example, there's an arrow that you click to bring up the 'configure' button. You select this, move the knob you want, and it will show up in the device view. Then you turn configure off, then MIDI map to this new selector.

It's Dune. So this feature should be built into the VSTi itself?

I find that when I group my instrument and map the vst's parameter to a macro in the rack and then do the midi mapping with the macro. I haven't tried it with your specific situation but I occasionally get bugs like you're explaining and doing it that way usually fixes it for me.

Hmm, no matter if I try a macro or VSTi's knob, I can't map MIDI piano's note keys. Any other suggestions?

I have finally figured it out. The reason it wasn't working is because I didn't enable Sync and Remote MIDI functions.
The only problem right now is that I would like the note keys to send CC values in increments/decrements of 1 but what I am getting is the following:
E = 12
D# = 9
D = 5
C# = 3
C = 0 (middle)
B = -3
A# = -6
A = -9
G# = -12
I would like to have the following:
E = 4
D# = 3
D = 2
C# = 1
C = 0 (middle)
B = -1
A# = -2
A = -3
G# = -4
Is there a way to configure this?
