-====== MIDI Interface ======
-===== What is MIDI? =====

-{{:midi_setup1.jpg?nolink|Midi Setup Window}}
-  - Expand External Controls, select Midi Control
-  - Select Midi Input device

-  - Click the Start button
-  - Click the Edit button

-  - Click in the "Note" section of the function.
-  - Using your midi controller, push the button or turn the knob that you want to control the selected function.
-  - Freestyler should be listening for the note and you should see it appear next to the save button.
-  - Continue assigning midi functions to buttons or knobs as you wish.
-  - Once finished, click "SAVE".
-===== Limitation. =====
-In midi standard there are 16 channels and each channel has 127 + 0 note’s.\\
-Each note’s has 127 + 0 velocities.\\
-\\
-Freestyler only have 1 channel and thereby only 127 + 0 note’s.\\
-Each note correspond to one of the Midi “External commands”.\\
-The value that are send with the external command is in Midi the velocity parameter.\\
-\\
-To set this in perspective a fully configured BCF2000 uses 74 notes.\\
-\\
-And freestyler has more than 500 external midi commands that are available.\\
-This means that only a small part of the external commands can be reached via the midi interface.\\
-\\
