 The MIDI Learn system is a quick way to map a MIDI message from a controller to an on-screen layout element: clip, button, slider, etc.
+NOTE: As of Loopy Pro 1.1.16, you can use typing keyboards for MIDI Learn in addition to MIDI controllers.
 To MIDI Learn a user interface element:
   * Connect the MIDI device that you want to use to trigger things in Loopy Pro. If it is a Bluetooth MIDI device, choose Bluetooth Devices from the main menu to make sure that your device is connected.
   * Choose MIDI Learn from the main menu
+  * OPTIONAL: Choose a profile to learn into.
   * Tap on a user interface element that you want to trigger or control with MIDI
   * Touch the control on your MIDI device that you want to control/trigger the user interface element

-===== MIDI Bindings =====
+===== Bindings =====
+[[https://loopypro.com/manual/#adding-bindings-manually|Bindings]] are mappings of  triggers (usually MIDI messages or keypresses on a typing keyboard) to Loopy Pro actions. A binding can trigger a single action or a series of actions. When you MIDI Learn, Loopy Pro creates a binding that is stored in a //profile// that you can access via the [[https://loopypro.com/manual/#control-settings-section|Control Settings]] menu. You can edit this bindings to create series of actions or refine the binding's options.
+**More about actions and action sequences**: See [[:loopy_pro_actions_tips|Loopy Pro: Actions Tips and Tricks]] and Loopy Pro manual's [[https://loopypro.com/manual/#actions-intro|the  actions sections]]
+==== Control Profiles ====
+MIDI Bindings are are stored in control profiles (or just profiles). Project profiles are local to the project. You should generally create bindings here for elements particular to the layout -- especially any widgets (sliders, buttons, etc). Global Profiles are bindings available to all projects. These generally should not be bindings to widgets and other local elements.
+Profiles can be activated and deactivated in the Control Settings panel using the check "box" next to the profile name.
+Loopy Pro has actions to activate, deactivate, and switch control profiles.
+===== MIDI Controllers =====
+Any MIDI source visible to Loopy Pro, including AUv3 that send MIDI, can trigger MIDI bindings.
+==== Footswitch Note ====
+Pretty much any footswitch can be used with Loopy Pro. For the best MIDI Learn experience, a footswitch should be set up to send an ON message (cc value 127 or note velocity 127) when pressed and an OFF message (CC value 0 or note velocity 0) when released. Other setups can work but may need manual editing of the learned event. For instance, if a footswitch only sends an ON message, Loopy Pro will interpret that as a HOLD. You can manually reassign that to ON. See [[loopy_pro:midi_troubleshooting|Loopy Pro: MIDI Troubleshooting]] for more information about footswitch setup.
