### To use MIDI-FX with your DAW
2727

28-
You will need to set up a virtual loopback device to forward the messages from MIDI-FX to your DAW and vice-versa. On Windows, you can accomplish this with [loopMIDI](https://www.tobias-erichsen.de/software/loopmidi.html).

If you're on Windows, you can use [loopMIDI](https://www.tobias-erichsen.de/software/loopmidi.html) to create a *virtual loopback MIDI port* to send MIDI messages to your DAW. It is also possible to send data from the DAW back to MIDI FX by creating a second port. Make sure to enable the new port in your DAW.

For Linux and MacOS, I believe something like this is available built-in, but I don't have the intructions. If you know how to do it, a PR would be much appreciated!

## How to use

MIDI FX will generally lie *between* your MIDI input device and your DAW or hardware synth, etc. Start by adding the `External Input` and `External Output` nodes. Connect them together to check that the MIDI messages pass through transparently. Next, try adding some node between them like the Delay or Transpose, to see how MIDI-FX transforms the messages.
