MIDI Noodle · Scenes

A setup for every song.

A scene is a whole patch: which keyboard plays which synth, the effects, the sequencers and their cables. Your devices stay the same; everything between them can change from one scene to the next.

Same gear, different wiring

Each scene keeps its own routes, effects, sequencers, control cables and groups, and even its own channel names. Make a new scene as a copy of another, with just your devices, with devices and effects but no cables, from a template, or empty.

For example:in the verse the keyboard plays the Juno and the drum machine runs its own pattern; in the chorus the keyboard moves to the Prophet and a Chord Sequencer joins in.

Switch from your controller

Pick an input for scene control and give each scene a Program Change number. Press a program button on your controller and the scene changes, with your hands still on the keys. The scenes are also listed in the menu bar.

On the bar, not on the click

While the clock runs, a switch can wait for the next bar or for the end of the chord progression, so the change lands in time. Automatic waits for the bar when a Chord Sequencer is playing and switches at once otherwise.

One controller, many synths

The One controller, many synths wizard builds this for you: one scene per synth, switched from the menu bar or a program button.

Per scene

Routes, effects, sequencers, control cables, LFOs, groups and channel names.

Shared

Your devices are in every scene; channel names carry over unless a scene renames them.
