mapped the midi inputs to keyboard strokes.... and then just used keyboard strokes in Freestyler
still pretty pissed about it though
I wanted the keyboard to be free'd up to use in another software... but no Freestyler has to be the active software to use keyboard strokes....

so anyways... I guess im glad i can atleast use the faders the way they are supposed to be used in FS.. Submaster Intensities and Sequence Speeds
if any one knows of an actual midi translating formula that will work in FS... PLEASEEE LET ME KNOWWWW
