FL Studio will connect to a wide range of external MIDI controllers and MIDI hardware.įL Studio will not sync to an external MIDI clock. These options are used to connect to external MIDI input devices. Make sure to set each MIDI device in the chain to send MIDI data OUT or THRU its own MIDI ports, as this may not be on by default (see the manual/s that came with the device/s). Then connect subsequent MIDI devices to the OUT or THRU ports of the device preceding them in the chain. Connect the PC to the MIDI Output interface, then connect the first external MIDI device to the MIDI OUTĪnd/or MIDI IN of the Output interface. NOTE: MIDI allows you to daisy-chain a number of external MIDI devices. See the manual associated with your external MIDI device/s for details. This is the time/code format used for syncing MIDI devices to play/start/stop commands, etc. Synchronization type - Sets the synchronization type.NOTE: Make sure Enable MIDI master sync is selected in the Options menu, 'Send master sync' will be disabled otherwise. Send master sync - If the device has an internal sequencer or other functions that make use of transport (start/stop/pause play) commands, enable this control.NOTE: Make sure global Enable MIDI output is selected in the Options menu, 'MIDI output' will be disabled otherwise. Selecting ' -' will free the MIDI interface for use by other MIDI software. Port - Make sure the MIDI Out plugin/s you use to control external MIDI hardware is set to the same MIDI Port number as selected here.(Port numbers don't apply to external MIDI hardware attached to a MIDI interface, just the interface itself). The option assigns a Port number to your MIDI interface Port - This is a unique channel over which MIDI data is communicated between MIDI devices (256 Ports are available).This enables/disables, as a group, all MIDI devices with Send master sync selected here. There is also a 'Global' sync option that must also be selected under the Options menu > Enable MIDI master sync. NOTES: Don't enable 'Send master sync' if the device does not use transport control as it can cause unpredictable behavior, or crashes, in the external MIDI device.
