* Connect external MIDI devices to the iOS device.
* Turn on the MIDI function.
* Mapping any controllable items.
* Checking of MIDI control.
- In the first, Connect MIDI devices to iPhone/iPad.
Please connect any MIDI devices that you want to control CueZy by using some adapters for instance Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter.

- Mapping of the controllable items.
To synchronize in between CueZy and the connected MIDI devices, please mapping about any controllable items.
To avoid confusion in between old mapping and new one, you also can use the "All Controls Off" command from the MIDI settings.
To apply any control mapping, you can choose a controllable item under the MIDI mapping section, and adjust parameters to the same value of the MIDI device's one.
Required parameters are as below.
- MIDI channel
- MIDI message type
- MIDI number
At this time, if ON/OFF switch is OFF, turn this on by tapping.
Moreover, by using the MIDI receive button, you can do this process very easily.
Tap and light the MIDI receive button that you want to change the parameter, and manipulate any button or slider on the external MIDI device, then the received MIDI parameter will be applied to the mapping.
- Checking of MIDI control.
Finally, please check out the action of MIDI control via external devices after back to the Play screen or the Fader screen.
