MIDI Noodle

Draw a line from a keyboard to a synth, and it plays. No DAW open.

USB gear and 5-pin DIN synths behind your interface, routed together by name and channel.

Play the synths plugged into another Mac, by their own names, over your network.

Answer a few questions about your gear. Get working routes you can see and edit.

Plan the physical cables before you plug in, or buy, a single box.

One device keeps time, everything else follows: the Mac, your drum machine or your DAW.

Progressions written as I–V–vi–IV, played on your synth in any key and rhythm.

A step sequencer for any drum machine or sampler, with presets, fills and swing.

Bass lines, melodies and one-shots that follow your chord changes.

Record a few bars of what you play and hear them loop, locked to the beat.

One keyboard, several zones, each playing its own channel.

See the notes, the notation, the chord name or a scrolling piano roll of whatever's playing.

Key Lock, chords, harmony, arpeggios, velocity and feel, right on the cable.

Tap a pad to move a part to another synth, or silence a channel, on the beat.

Turn a knob and a setting follows. Hit a pad and something happens.

The Mac's own keys swap instruments, mute channels and switch effects.

A whole setup per song. Switch from the menu bar or your controller, on the bar.

Save each setup as a project, keep favourite rigs as templates, tidy the canvas with groups.

Nothing plays? Notes stuck? Tempo jumping? Built-in tools find out why.
