Musing/nice if… a MIDI-only Modular?
Am I alone in thinking that it would be quite nice if there were such a thing as a MIDI Modular app or even environment.
What I mean by this is essentially, the same as a software modular synth (of which there’s already a few on the market already, including the one I use but can’t type), but it’s not a synth, it has no capability for making synthesised sound at all. It’s purely for MIDI. A patchable, draggable, pluggable, cable-able, confusable, big area that you can assemble modules within. The same principles as a modular synth, except that it’s not a synth, the modules are only for MIDI. The MIDI inputs can be presented comprehensively, and various processing modules can be lashed together to make patches, then sent to outputs.
Not many actual modular synths keep the incoming data as MIDI — rather, they’ll devolve the midi quantities into some other form of internal quantities, which makes things easier for the internal synth oriented modules, as the emphasis is really on controlling sound generation. In this idea, the ‘patch cords’ carry full midi data, as if they were 5-pin DIN cables (which are only connected on two pins btw) (the two spare pins that the extant DIN-sync standard didn’t use). So, it’s not really converting it to any other form of representation, it’s keeping it MIDI throughout.
I know there’s many existing MIDI patch-bay apps and MIDI utility apps such as MIDI Designer, Lemur (which is again, not really MIDI but OSC), and TB-Midi Stuff, and more. However, nearly all of those are focused on providing a user interface or control surface, primarily.
What I’m thinking about isn’t that, although it would certainly benefit from using one of those existing apps alongside. What I’m thinking about is essentially something you could assemble your own sequencer from. Or arpeggiator. Or combination thereof. Or I could assemble that thing I’m chasing:– a multi-clocking sequence reading self transposing last-forever-ing motif-seeding fibonacci-strategising thing that I’ll relax and forget all about once I ever see it. Or you could make a monster arpeggiating living breathing sequencer that does everything you and only you specifically want (you know, the big advantage of a modular — bespoke-osity).

Midi and iOS! Two bestranged bed fellows
ScriptSonic has those features but it is pretty far from a drag and drop interface

Mobmuplat + your custom Pure Data patch
For desktop computers, it's much more interesting cause there's Max. And Pure Data, Plogue Bidule, Reaktor, etc
I'd like to see something like this too though I think some of the easier ideas are probably doable with existing apps and MIDIFlow.
+1 for PD to make your current dragon.
PD is addiction
This sounds like algorithmic midi sequencing/composing. Is that close?
I've had this for a couple of years and got to love it, but it crashes when modifying patches on Air1, 9.3.1. Dev is not responsive to emails unfortunately.
i love numerology on the mac by five12
I tend to eye that app up and down and back again every year or so. Looks so incredible.
I would really like this.
But with LINK.
The problem with what's out there is lack of decent sequencing / syncing ability.
If this existed I would make a midi out LINK version of Figure.
I would also make a LINK synced version of the remix pad in Genome.
Plus I would add lots of other buttons and knobs to the screen.
I would also like it to be split screen/slide over so that I could see what was happening in the app(s) I was controlling - probably Gadget.
(I would also, for this reason, like Gadget to be split screen).
