  • Use the MIDI Mapping Table: The MIDI mapping table displays all assigned MIDI messages and their corresponding functions. Use this table to review and edit your mappings.

  • Use Third-Party Tools: Consider using third-party tools, such as MIDI Monitor or MIDI Tools, to help you analyze and debug your MIDI messages.
