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.
