This knowledge base is a wiki
The MIDIBox community works hard to maintain and improve this knowledge base. You can help! Feel free to add or correct things. You need a MIDIBox forum account to edit these wiki pages. If you want to discuss documentation or wiki issues, please post in the forum. If you're posting a question in the forum, be sure you look for the answer first by searching this wiki, uCApps.de, and the forum itself.
Visit also the new wiki home. This is the root of the new wiki-pages, which will replace the old ones (in whose home you currently are). This idea is to move all the existing information from the old pages to the new wiki, and also to add new information in a more clear sturcture. Visit the wikify page to learn more about how you can help with this and to see the guidelines to the new wiki pages.
