 ===== Using a MIDI Monitor to Examine MIDI =====
-It is sometimes useful to be able to see the MIDI coming in from controllers or that is being sent from between plugins or widgets. A MIDI Monitoring AUv3 is very handy. [[https://apps.apple.com/us/app/streambyter/id1398712641|Streambyter]] is a free iOS MIDI-processing plugin that also has a MIDI monitor built-in. As a MIDI processor Streambyter might be intimidating, but the MIDI Monitor works well and can be used without knowing about StreamByter. Another excellent iOS AU Midi Monitor is the one included in the [[https://apps.apple.com/us/app/midi-tools/id1446209019|MIDI Tools]] bundle.

-===== Morningstar (and other) MIDI Pedal Troubleshooting =====
-Some people are finding that they have troubles with MIDI Learn and MIDI Control using their footswitches. Some of these problems seem connected to messages that Loopy sends out (possibly to update status LEDs). If you find that your pedal is behaving strangely, you may want to see if your pedal has a setting to ignore incoming MIDI.
+===== MIDI Pedal/Controller Troubleshooting =====
-NOTE: These issues seem likely to be resolved in a Loopy Pro update -- but these steps will be useful in the meantime.
+If you get surprising response when controlling Loopy via MIDI, there are a few things to check.
+The first thing to check if things seem really strange is if turning Loopy's feedback to controllers solves the problem. Some of these problems seem connected to messages that Loopy sends out (possibly to update status LEDs). In the MIDI Control panel, find your MIDI controller in the list of MIDI sources at the top of the MIDI Control window and display Loopy's settings. Turn off the setting labeled **Feedback Enabled** and see if that solves things.
+If that does not solve your problem, you may want to see if your pedal has a setting to ignore incoming MIDI in case something else is sending MIDI back to your device.
 For the Morningstar pedals, use the pedal's global configuration menu to turn //Cross MIDI Thru// **Off** and //Ignore MIDI Clock// **On**.

+===== MIDI Controlled Effects Not Responding =====
+If you have an AUv3 such as a sampler that responds to MIDI and which is not responding, you may need to turn off idling for that effect. Normally, Loopy puts effects that aren't receiving any audio input to sleep in order to free up CPU. This is called idling. To turn off idling, open the AUv3 window. Long-press on the label that says On, Off, or Idle and turn off //Enable Idle Mode// in the panel that pops up.
