### What is the problem?

As a user, I want a MIDI implementation chart so that I can determine how to make the best use of the Synth’s capabilities in my setup.

### What should this feature achieve?

Either a simple [Midi Implementation Chart](https://theproaudiofiles.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/MIDI-Implementation-Chart.jpg), but preferably a chart that follows [version 2.0 of their Implementation Chart format](https://midi.org/midi-implementation-chart-version-2), which now has 3 pages, because it lists CCs on separate pages. ([Here is a copy the format](https://www.synthmind.com/midi_chart-v2.pdf) that can be downloaded without signing up).

### Are there any workarounds?

Yes, testing everything manually, which is hindered by the fact that there are still a lot of bugs.

### Any links to related discussions?

> Do the parameter knobs of the Synth send midi? I would like to map them to some Ableton plugins, but they do not give any MIDI signal in Live. Am I missing something? Thanks.

> Hello, when I was recording the Polyend Play midi tutorial, I was trying to use the Keystep 37 CC to control the Polyend Play, However couldn’t find if the play could receive CC commands? if so, is there a list online?

### Any references to other products?

Any product by Roland, Yamaha, Korg, DSI, Kurzweil, Akai released in the last 40 years has a MIDI Implementation Chart in the manual.

Some manufacturers, e.g. Squarp, [have recently been more creative with the formatting of the charts](https://squarp.net/static/PYRAMiDi-7094a08cfe1165baf6db2b8207409fbe.pdf).
