Question: Sorry, this may be a dumb question, but I am new to MIDI and no musician - I am trying to figure out if I can use a MIDI Controller for some other control application.

I know how to set up the MIDI system and receive MIDI events using AudioKit.midi in iOS.

I am trying to find out if I can determine the state of let's say a Midi Knob, without it sending events? As soon as I start turning a knob I get events - so at the moment in order initialize the system I have to turn every button so it sends an event and the controller setting is being reflected in my software. The controller I have has 16 knobs and I seem to believe that I am missing something? This must be easier, somehow...

I could use relative knobs and keep the state in my code, but my controller wakes up with all dials in absolute mode - so I am thinking there has to be a way?

Any hint would be appreciated :-)

Thanks!

Answer: 
You must be editing wrong php.ini file.. or have Xdebug settings defined in a separate .ini file (that is parsed in addition to the master file).

On Linux & Mac it's quite common to have different php.ini for CLI and web server.

Check `phpinfo()` output, top table: it will show all config files used by that PHP installation.
Was also stuck 1+ hours on this problem, because the error message is not very helpful and sometimes misleading.

Maybe it's obvious, but try the following if everything else fails:

* place a phpinfo() somewhere in your project to read out your currently applied php.ini configuration
* open the php.ini you see under "Loaded Configuration File" in your phpinfo
* edit your debug config
* restart your webserver (This seems to be required when you start Laravel via "php artisan serve", at least in my case)
* load your phpinfo again to confirm that your settings have been applied
* run your PhpStorm debug config validator again

Your webserver and PhpStorm should now pick up your new debug configuration.
