18.8 MIDI Out Settings

Deluge can be a controller for external MIDI devices for example sound modules and synthesizers. MIDI clips are configured in similar way to creating synth clips. MIDI clips even have an arpeggiator. Instead of the notes triggering the synth engine, the notes will trigger the external MIDI channel.
