-Enable Launchpad to FreeStyler:
+=== Enable Launchpad to FreeStyler: ===
 In FreeStyler go to Midi setup panel under “Setup”\\
+\\
+{{:external_control:midi:novation_setup_freestyler_setup.jpg?300|}}
+\\
+\\
+{{:external_control:midi:novation_setup_midi.jpg?800|}}
+\\
+\\
+In the midi panel select “Launchpad MK2” for midi input and midi output.\\
+FreeStyler can handle 2 midi interfaces and in this case Launchpad is selected a midi interface 1.\\
+Click “Start” to activate the midi interface.\\
+\\
+{{:external_control:midi:novation_select_midi_device.jpg?400|}}
+\\
+You are now ready to map the midi keys to FreeStyler buttons.\\
+\\
+=== Map midi keys to FreeStyler. ===
+The easy is to learn function.\\
+\\
+{{:external_control:midi:novation_midi_device_learn.jpg?800|}}
+\\
+\\
+Click “Learn” to activate the learn function.\\
+Navigate to the function which are to be mapped. Here “Override button6”\\
+On the Launchpad press the key which are to control the function.\\
+In the small box bellow the function table information about the pressed key is shown.\\
+Here “note-on(144), 86-0-1”\\
+**Translated:**
+   *Command: note-on = 144
+   *Note = 86, Unique identifier of the no 6 key in row 8 from the bottom.
+   *Midi channel = 0. Note: here is an offset error, should be 1
+   *Midi interface = 1: Correspond to midi interface 1.

+\\
+=== Setup LED feedback to the Launchpad ===
+For the Launchpad the feedback value set the LED color for the key.\\
+The value send back to the Launchpad correspond to the map bellow.\\
+\\
+{{:external_control:midi:novation_launchpad_color_tabel.jpg?800|}}
+\\
+= black (LED off)\\
+= red\\
+= amber (Looks like a normal warm bulp)\\
+\\
+Depending on which channel this feedback value is send on the LED behavior shifts.\\
+Ch = 1: Constant light\\
+Ch = 2: Flashing light\\
+Ch = 3; Pulsing light\\
+\\
+More info can be found in {{ :external_control:midi:launchkey_mk2_programmers_reference_guide.pdf |}}from Novation.\\
+Please visit Novation for the latest version.\\
+\\
+{{:external_control:midi:novation_midi_device_feedback.jpg?800|}}
+\\
+Looking into the color table above and on the midi “off” value for the defined Override buttons then the buttons will have bulp light color when they are no activated.\\
+And the midi “on” value will give a red light when the button is activated.\\
+Looking at “Note OUT” it can be seen that command “note-on” is send to note 81 (key 8,1) on channel 2 with the on or off value:\\
+**NOTE**: There is an offset error on the ch. Shown is 1 but it should be 2.\\
+This channel number makes the led flash.\\
+\\
+=== Manual midi mapping ===
+When the “Learn” mode is not enabled it is possible to edit/map the midi key manually.\\
+If “Override button1” Note IN field is clicked then this menu pops up.\\
+\\
+{{:external_control:midi:novation_midi_device_in_maping.jpg?300|}}
+\\
+These values can manually be alternated.\\
+Here it can also be detected that there is an offset error on the displayed channel value and the actual value. \\
+Displayed in the note.in field is 0 and actual is 1\\
+\\
+And it is the same for Note OUT\\
+\\
+{{:external_control:midi:novation_midi_device_out_maping.jpg?300|}}
+\\
+Here the channel is 2 which makes the LED flashing.\\
+\\
+=== Saving the midi configuration: ===
+Finally it is an good idea to make a backup of the midi configuration.\\
+\\
+{{:external_control:midi:novation_midi_device_export.jpg?600|}}
+\\
+This is done by exporting the configurations to a fms file.\\
+The export function can be found under options.\\
