+====== Loopy Pro: MIDI Map AUv3 Parameters ======
+When Loopy Pro was initially released, only AUv3 effect parameters were mappable. All AUv3 can now have their parameters mapped.
-There are a few ways to control Audio Unit Effect parameters:
+There are a couple of main ways to MIDI Map Audio Unit Effect parameters:
-  * Mapping MIDI events to effect parameters using the MIDI Control system
+  * Adding bindings to MIDI Control that map MIDI events (like CCs or notes) to AUv3 parameers
-  * Using widgets that target Audio Unit effects.
+  * Using MIDI Learn to map the AUv3 parameters
-In both cases, you add Effect Actions from the relevant action picker.
+You can also control AUv3 parameters with Loopy Pro's widgets: sliders, buttons and XY Pads.
-==== Using MIDI Control ====
+**To use the MIDI Learn system**, turn on MIDI Learn. Tap on the AU's icon in the mixer (or tap on its icon from the main view if it is visible). A window pops up that lets you select learnable actions: Enable/Disable Effect, Open Effect Interface, **Adjust Effect Parameter**, Select Effect Preset. Choose **Adjust Effect Preset** and then pick the parameter to map and either send the MIDI event to learn or manually assign the event that you want to use.
-  * Display the MIDI Control panel
+**To use the MIDI Control** system**, choose MIDI Control from Loopy's main menu and Add a New Binding. A binding is a mapping of a MIDI event (such as note, CC or program change) to actions. The Loopy Pro actions that control AUv3 parameters are:
-  * Select the settings file (local or global) where you want the mapping to be saved
+  * AUv3 Effects: Effect Actions-> Adjust Effect Parameter
-  * Add New Binding
+  * AUv3 Instruments:  Audio Source Actions -> Adjust Audio Unit Parameter
-  * Scroll to the Effect actions section and choose the relevant action
+  * AUv3 MIDI FX: MIDI Source Actions -> Adjust MIDI Unit Parameter
-  * Choose the target (the audio unit you want to control)
-  * A list of relevant parameters is displayed
-  * Set up the trigger for the MIDI Control
+This video demonstrates how to add a binding for an AUv3 Effect parameter using MIDI Control:

 ==== Using Widgets ====
+You can also use widgets to control the parameters of your AUv3s
   * Add a widget to your layout
