5. Press F10 to open FL Studio Settings. Under the MIDI tab, locate the GT-1 under MIDI output devices and assign it a port number (for example, port 8).
6. Add the GT-1 Control Panel plugin to your project.
7. Open the plugin settings and set the MIDI output port to match the port number chosen in the previous step.

   • Edit Events — Automates the control within a pattern
   • Add Automation Clip — Automates the control over the course of a song
10. Edit events or automation clips and verify real-time effect changes during playback.
