These scripts are used to start from the Factory Blank setup and create a setup with MIDI output as described in Pico MIDI
The scripts are attached as a zip archive with two text files that need to be moved to your 'Scripts' directory. For more information on using Belcanto Scripts in the Factory Setups please see Belcanto Scripts. It also contains the file 'Pico MIDI.els' which can be imported into Stage to create the tab with the controls.
To be able to run these scripts you need to first load the Blank Factory setup. Afterwards open both the EigenBrowser and EigenCommander and type the following in the command line of the commander: eigenbrowser , interpreter hey script browse
The EigenBrowser will now allow you to browse to the user scripts and execute them. It's very important to first execute 'Pico MIDI - part1', after which the Pico instrument will be automatically detected by EigenD. When that is done, the system will be ready to run 'Pico MIDI - part2'.
Download the archive with the files here: link:Pico MIDI From Scratch.zip
Below is the contents of both scripts:

Run this script first and afterwards run the second part from the
other script.
