🖥️FL Studio and other DAWs

Any DAW that accepts MIDI input works with Playtronica devices. Look for "MIDI Input" or "MIDI Controller" settings and enable the Playtronica device there. The most common DAW setups are below.

FL Studio

1. Plug in the device and open FL Studio.
2. Open Options → MIDI Settings. In the Input section, find your Playtronica device. Click the power icon next to it to enable it.
3. Add a plugin instrument to the Channel Rack. Right-click the Channel Rack → Add → choose any synth plugin.
4. Touch the device. The plugin receives MIDI from your device.

Reaper

1. Open Options → Preferences → Audio → MIDI Devices.
2. Enable your Playtronica device as a MIDI input.
3. Add a track with a VST instrument. The track receives MIDI automatically.

Bitwig

1. Open Settings → Controllers → Add Controller → Generic MIDI.
2. Bitwig auto-detects class-compliant MIDI devices. Your Playtronica device should appear immediately.

Reason

1. Open Preferences → MIDI.
2. Add your Playtronica device as a Master Keyboard input.
3. Create a Combinator or instrument track to receive notes.
