Connect the Xbox 360 MIDI Pro Adapter to your Santroller based adapter, then connect the Santroller based adapter to your computer.

Be sure to [download the latest version of Santroller].
After that, start up Santroller.

If you’re using a premade adapter (like the RetroCultMods MiniHost), you may receive a warning from Santroller in the start screen.
All this means is that you can’t ask for support on the official Santroller Discord.
You can tick the checkbox and focus on the rest of the configuration.

After selecting your options, click on Configure.
