 ====== MIDI expression control using CC#7 and CC#11 ======
+Starting with v1.1.7, you can use the standard MIDI //volume-expression controls// with Unify:
+  * MIDI CC#7 ("main volume") directly controls Unify's //master volume// setting.
+    * You will see the volume slider at the right-hand side of Unify's Master Effects layer change.
+  * MIDI CC#11 ("expression") applies a //scaling factor// to the current //master volume// setting.
+    * You will hear the volume change, from zero to the current setting of the master volume fader, but the fader itself will not move.
+These MIDI responses are disabled by default. To enable them, go to Unify's [[settings|Settings view]]. Near the bottom you will find a row of four check-boxes like this:
+{{::midi-expression-1.png|}}
+The first two checkboxes enable interpretation of MIDI CC#7 and CC#11, respectively. Note that when these boxes are checked:
+  - Unify will accept and interpret CC#7 and CC#11 messages //on any MIDI channel//.
+  - Incoming CC#7 and/or CC#11 messages will be interpreted by Unify itself, and //will no longer be passed on to any hosted plug-ins//.
+(In a [[multi-timbral-setup|Multi-timbral setup]], this may be the opposite of what is needed. Click the link for details.)
+Regarding the second pair of checkboxes, see [[midi-patch-select|Changing patches with MIDI]].
