As long as both devices are connected to the same network, the connection is automatic - no setup required. Once connected, you can: * Control FL Studio instantly, including instruments and effect plugins, just like any other MIDI controller. * Connect up to 15 devices at once, whether they’re Phones, Tablets, or Chromebooks.
