   MIDI scripting allows native support for any MIDI controller. Scripts are   
   written in 'Python' code, stored in a plain text file, that FL Studio uses to   
   translate commands between the controller and FL Studio. MIDI communication   
   can go in both directions;    
   The controller can access features in the FL Studio code (as listed below),   
   and FL Studio can send data back to the controller (such as lighting pads or   
   showing track names).FL Studio MIDI scripts are based on Python. You do not   
   need to install anything,    
   FL Studio will handle scripts directly. When scripts are created in the   
   folders shown below, the scripted device will display in the Controller type   
   menu under the MIDI Settings tab. From there, select the controller and use it   
   as normal.NOTES:Script    
   hierarchy - As FL Studio natively handles many MIDI functions and messages,   
   this allows you to write simple scripts to handle specific cases or inputs and   
   leave the rest to FL Studio's generic MIDI support. For example, you do not   
   need to tell FL Studio    
   what to do with MIDI notes. If the script doesn't specifically make changes to   
   default behavior, FL Studio will handle them as normal.Scripts are complex -   
   With power and flexibility comes complexity. MIDI scripting is intended for   
   hardware manufacturers    
   and advanced users to create custom support for MIDI controllers. If you are   
   new to programming, MIDI scripting will be confronting and confusing at first.   
   This is normal, but patience and persistence will be rewarded! There are some   
   simple examples to    
   get started on our user forum listed below.Support ForumFL Studio customers   
   can access the MIDI Controller Scripting forum to discuss scripting, share   
   scripts, make feature requests and report issues.Script Locations and File   
   NamesFL Studio will check    
   the following locations for MIDI Scripts and related files:Script files -   
   Scripted device files are located in the User data folder under ...   
   Documents\Image-Line\FL Studio\Settings\Hardware\devicename\devi   
   e_devicename.py.Script folder naming - The sub    
   folder 'devicename' is arbitrary and can be anything you like. Normally you   
   would use the name of the MIDI hardware you are scripting for.Script file   
   naming - The 'device_devicename' (bold part) can be anything you like to   
   identify the MIDI script file.    
   NOTE: 'device_devicename.py' is mandatory for the device to be processed by FL   
   Studio. You can use spaces and capitals for devicename e.g. 'device_My PHAT   
   Controller.py'.The controller name - Shown in the MIDI Settings > Controller   
   type menu is defined    
   on first line of 'device_devicename.py' script file, e.g. #name=AKAI FL Studio   
   Fire. This will appear in the device list as 'AKAI FL Studio Fire (user)'. The   
   (user) suffix is to distinguish your device scripts from installed factory   
   scripts.
