This prevents one step in the controller from causing somewhat unpredictable jumps in the FM8 control values. The MIDI options allow you to use just the first 100 points of the MIDI controller, however, which can be useful if your controller has stepped controls (such as the endless rotary controllers on Behringer BC-Series controllers).

By default, FM8 maps the 0-127 range of your MIDI controllers to 0-100, so that the full range of the physical controller is used to cover the full range of the control in FM8. For example, controls in FM8 work with an internal range of 0-100, whilst MIDI controllers have a range of 0-127. There are some MIDI-related preferences which you may need to change in FM8's Options window (File > Options). F8C file this creates later on via the 'Load' button instantly restores all of your assignments next time you use FM8. Once you have assigned all of your controller's dials and sliders to your favourite controls inside FM8, you can save the configuration template in the MIDI Controller Assignment pane (click 'Save').
Finally, move a control on your MIDI controller, and the corresponding control in FM8 will move too! You'll see in the MIDI Controller Assignment pane (in the Master section of FM8) that your assignment has been updated. Next, click the MIDI Learn icon (in the top right of the whole FM8 screen, next to the NI logo - it looks like a MIDI connector seen head-on with an 'L' in the middle). All you have to do is use your mouse to move the control in FM8 which you'd like to assign (say, the master volume slider in the Master section). My favourite way to assign controllers in FM8 is with the 'MIDI Learn' function. Assigning Controllers and Making Templates
In FM8's standalone mode, just go to File > Audio and MIDI Settings > MIDI and enable your controller. Now, you should be able to record-enable the MIDI or virtual instrument track and see the MIDI data indicator in FM8 (in the top right hand corner of the top bar, where preset names are displayed) blink when you move a controller.
If you are using FM8 inside a DAW, make sure that the MIDI input you have connected your controller to is enabled in the DAW's options or preferences.
