 ## What?
 
-Since version 2.2, GIMP comes with a module that allows to control it using MIDI devices. Currently this is 
only supported on GNU/Linux with either the OSS or the ALSA sound drivers. It might work on other platforms 
as well if there is a way to access the raw MIDI stream by opening a device.

 ## Enabling the MIDI Module
 
-To make the UI of GIMP's MIDI controller visible you need to edit a configuration file when GIMP is not 
running. Open <tt>~/.gimp-2.2/controllerrc</tt> in an editor and add the following lines to the end of the 
file:

 ## Configuring the MIDI Source
 
 ### ALSA:
 
-Enter "alsa" in the "Device" entry in the configuration. GIMP then sets up an Alsa-Output-Port (check with 
"<tt>aconnect -lo</tt>"). You can then use your preferred tool to configure Alsa to connect a MIDI source to 
GIMP. When your MIDI device e.g. provides an Input-Port 72:0 and GIMP provides the Output-Port 128:0 you can 
connect the two Ports with "<tt>aconnect 72:0 128:0</tt>".

 ### OSS:
 
-The Open Sound System provides a device file for the raw MIDI events. You need to enter the name of this 
device file into the "Device" entry in the configuration (e.g. "/dev/midi00").

 ### The MIDI channel
 
-Each MIDI source sends events on a specific "Channel" (0 to 15, sometimes also referred as 1 to 16). You can 
configure if GIMP should listen to all channels (-1) or to just a specific channel.

-If your MIDI setup works correctly and the "Dump events from this controller" is enabled as well as "Enable 
this controller" you should see some text scrolling by when you hit some keys or turn some controllers on 
your midi device, describing the Event that just happened.

 ## Assigning Actions to Events
 
-You can now use this information to map MIDI Events to Actions in GIMP. At the bottom of the configuration 
page is a list with all events that GIMP can recognize. Scroll to the event that you want to assign an action 
to and doubleclick its entry. Then select an Action from the dialog that pops up and doubleclick its entry. 
Now this action gets invoked when the specific MIDI event happens.

-Please note that some actions fit perfectly to some MIDI Events: Actions like "context-background-blue-set" 
can immediately use the numerical value provided by midi controller events.
