## What do you need?
1. Jamulus with JACK support (not the standard ASIO version if you are using Windows), you can [download the Jamulus JACK version for Windows here]({{ site.download_root_link }}{{ site.download_file_names.windows-jack }})).

In fact, this page becomes a bit redundant.

It says "Here's how to set up Jamulus for JACK". We should have that covered elsewhere.

It says "Here's how to use Jamulus with --ctrlmidich and we definitely have that covered elsewhere.

The only remaining thing it says that's not said elsewhere is that - prior to 3.12.0 - you'd need the JACK version on Windows for --ctrlmidich... and I think it would be better to put that on the --ctrlmidich page.

That needs updating to say "Jamulus since 3.7.0 (except Windows ASIO), updated with further functionality in ... and supported on Windows ASIO since 3.12.0" -- probably in a new paragraph.

Maybe this is easier to reference and read: but maybe then we need to separate --ctrlmidich into its own page that gets translated, like Tips-Tricks-More does.

The more I think about it, the more that appeals.

2. You need an audio device with ASIO support or you can use a universal ASIO driver like ASIO4ALL.
3. You need a MIDI Control Surface. Many different models are available. I am using a Worlde EasyControl 9.

4. JACK for Windows [get it from the JACK audio page](https://jackaudio.org/downloads/).
