MIDIExplorer
Extension
ExtensionDescription
The functionality of MKtl relies on descriptions of the used devices. For some Controllers, and while many descriptions are already available, your device may not yet be among them. With MIDIExplorer, it is easy to create such a file for a MIDI device. For more info on how to use it, see How_to_create_a_description_file.
