Configuring Freewheeling
From FreewheelingWiki
Changing the default configuration is done in the XML-based config files. If you know XML, you will have no problem editing ~/.fweelin/fweelin.xml and the related files. Anyway, there's a lot of documentation inside the XML files, and in ~/.fweelin/config-help.txt
Pretty much everything about the program is controlled by these files. It's very flexible.
See New .xml Configuration System: for a summary of the various .xml files.

How it works
Underlying the configuration system is a robust language. You can do things like map velocity of a MIDI note to a certain parameter in FreeWheeling; Scale, map and transform MIDI events; Create your own toggles and modes; And trigger several events from one input. If you can learn how to configure FreeWheeling, then you will have a robust performance controller at your fingertips.
[edit]
Look and Feel
Here, you can set up FreeWheeling to look and feel the way that is most intuitive for you.
FreeWheeling is especially configurable where it comes to different input controllers, such as QWERTY and piano keyboards, MIDI footswitches and pedalboards, etc.
[edit]
Video
In the video section, you can define a graphical layout so that your control surfaces will appear onscreen as they do at your feet or fingertips. This is important, because you will be grabbing and controlling loops from different MIDI/keyboard controllers.
[edit]
Events
In the events section, you can tell FreeWheeling how you want it to respond to the physical buttons and switches you press, sliders you move, and movements you make. Most of FreeWheeling's important functions can be controlled from any input.
[edit]
Go freewheeling!
Happy FreeWheeling! Your feedback is appreciated.

FCB 1010 mapped on azerty keyboard
The pedals on the FCB controler trigger the same loops as - (first layer:) the q-z-s-e-d-r-f-t-g keys and - (second layer:) the h-u-j-i-k-o-l-p-m keys. This makes sense on an azerty keyboard, since the keys are then ordered in the same way as the controler's pedals. Loops can be recorded and accessed either through the pedals or through the keyboard.
<!-- The pedals are set to send "program change" messages. This is more or less a factory default.
It is much easyer to configure Freewheeling than the FCB controler.
Doing it letter by letter is quick, although not very elegant.
Pedal 10 is not assigned since I use it for something else (cancel/delete last recorded loop)-->

How can I startup certain aspects of FW automatically each time?
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=15741928
This can be done, but it's actually not the variables that determine whether the app is in full screen, or the layout mode, etc. The variables are simply user defined values. To achieve the effect you're looking for, you have to use the variables to trigger system events such as 'video-full-screen'.
You can trigger all your startup calls in the 'startup' binding--
<!-- Sub 0: Startup - do startup stuff --> <binding input="go-sub" conditions="sub=0" output1="video-show-loop" parameters1="layoutid=0 and loopid=VAR_pckeyfullrange VAR_loopid_pckeystart" output2="video-show-loop" parameters2="layoutid=1 and loopid=VAR_noterange VAR_loopid_pianostart" output3="video-show-loop" parameters3="layoutid=2 and loopid=VAR_dancematrange VAR_loopid_dancemat" output4="video-show-loop" parameters4="layoutid=3 and loopid=VAR_loopid_footswitch" output5="fluidsynth-enable" parameters5="enable=VAR_fluidsynth_enable" output6="set-auto-loop-saving" parameters6="save=VAR_auto_loop_save" output7="set-load-loop-id" parameters7="loopid=VAR_loopid_footswitch" output8="set-default-loop-placement" parameters8="looprange=VAR_loopid_default_range"/> <!-- Startup --> <!-- Mercury's startup --> <binding input="start-freewheeling" conditions="VAR_mercurymode=1" output1="set-variable" parameters1="var=VAR_midi_footswitch and value=67" output2="set-variable" parameters2="var=VAR_laptopkeymode and value=1" output3="set-variable" parameters3="var=VAR_notechan and value=1" output4="set-variable" parameters4="var=VAR_noterange and value=48>59" output5="go-sub" parameters5="sub=0"/>
You can see that if VAR_mercurymode is 1, on startup a bunch of variables are set and subroutine 0 is called (output5="go-sub" at the bottom). Subroutine 0 is defined above, and causes different layouts to be selected and configured. You can simply remove the conditions="VAR_mercurymode=1" and add your own event triggers to the subroutine 0-- one for setting full screen, another to set your layout, etc.
