MIDI Noodle · Wizards

Ask about music. Not MIDI.

Each common job is a wizard: a few questions about your devices, a preview of what it will build, then ordinary routes on the canvas you can tweak like any others.

Questions you can answer

Wizards ask "Which device leads the tempo?" or "Which devices should follow it?", not about message types and channel numbers. You pick from the gear that's actually plugged in.

Open Connect… and pick from Get started, Play, Tempo, Apps & network and Troubleshoot, or search: "clock", "split" and "logic" all find the right one.

See it before it's built

The last step lists everything the wizard will do: the routes it adds, the clock it sets, a scene it creates, and anything it noticed along the way, like a synth that would get clock twice.

Create applies it all as one undo step.

Then it's just routes

Nothing a wizard builds is hidden. It's the same cards and cables you'd draw by hand, so you can change a channel, add an effect or delete a route afterwards.

For example:"Describe my setup" walks through each box on your desk: what it is, what it should play, who keeps tempo. It turns an empty canvas into your first working patch in one sitting.
