It retrieves information such as which Control Change (CC) parameters should be linked and the appropriate names to display for each parameter.

This exciting feature extends not only to software plugins, such as the ones included with Keystage, but also to hardware devices! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince MIDI 2.0 Property Exchange is compatible with MIDI DIN cables, Keystage opens up opportunities for seamless integration with existing devices, paving the way for new and exciting possibilities in the horizon. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFurthermore, backwards compatibility is not an issue with Keystage.
