Midi Mind Manager

Professional MIDI Processing & Transformation

The Midi Mind hardware processor with MIDI TRS-A I/O and USB-C power

Overview

The Midi Mind is a compact, professional MIDI processor designed for live performance, studio recording, and creative experimentation. Featuring MIDI TRS-A input and output with USB-C power, it transforms MIDI messages in real-time using a powerful yet intuitive programming language.

Key Features:

• Hardware-based processing with ultra-low latency
• Real-time MIDI transformation for live performance
• Intuitive programming language for complex routing and effects
• Professional connectivity via MIDI TRS-A standard
• USB-C powered for reliable operation
• Bluetooth configuration via Midi Mind Manager app

Hardware

The Midi Mind device sits between your MIDI controller and sound modules, processing every MIDI message according to your programmed rules:

Input: MIDI TRS-A from keyboards, controllers, DAWs, or other MIDI sources
Processing: Real-time transformation using custom rule language
Output: MIDI TRS-A to synthesizers, DAWs, effects processors, or other MIDI devices
Power: USB-C for stable, reliable operation
Configuration: Wireless via Bluetooth using the Midi Mind Manager app

Programming Language

Create powerful MIDI transformations with an expressive rule-based language:

// Route piano split - bass and treble to different channels
noteOn(ch, note, vel) & note < 60 -> noteOn(1, note, vel);     // Bass channel
noteOn(ch, note, vel) & note >= 60 -> noteOn(2, note, vel);    // Piano channel

// Add automatic harmony
noteOn(ch, note, vel) -> 
  noteOn(ch, note, vel),        // Original note
  noteOn(3, note + 4, vel),     // Add major third
  noteOn(4, note + 7, vel);     // Add perfect fifth

Use Cases

Live Performance

• Keyboard splits for bass/piano combinations
• Dynamic layering controlled by velocity or controllers
• Effect routing to different outputs
• Real-time harmonization and chord generation
• Failsafe MIDI routing between multiple devices

Studio Recording

• Velocity curves for consistent dynamics
• Channel mapping for multi-timbral setups
• MIDI effects processing before reaching your DAW
• Controller remapping for different instruments
• Automatic chord and melody generation

Creative/Experimental

• Complex arpeggiation with custom patterns
• Algorithmic composition using global variables and logic
• Time-based effects like echoes and delays
• Interactive control systems that respond to playing style
• Live-coded MIDI manipulation during performance
