Your First Route
This walkthrough connects one source to one destination and shows where to verify the result.
Before you begin
You need:
- one MIDI source, such as a keyboard, controller, app, or virtual port;
- one MIDI destination, such as a synthesizer, DAW input, or hardware output.
The destination must be ready to receive MIDI on the channel you choose. Neurode MIDI routes MIDI data; it does not generate audio.
Create the route
- Open Routing.
- Select your source.
- Select Create Route or Add Route.
- Under From, choose one input channel or all channels.
- Under To, choose the destination and its output channel.
- Give the route a short optional name.
- Leave Transform empty for this first test.
- Select Save.
On compact iPhone layouts, selecting a source with no routes presents the route action prominently. On iPad and Mac, select the source in the sidebar and work in its detail view.
Verify the route
Play a note or move a controller on the source.
- The source activity indicator confirms that MIDI reached Neurode MIDI.
- The destination activity indicator confirms that the route sent MIDI onward.
- Status → Signal Flow shows the connection and recent activity.
- Tools → Statistics shows message rates, totals, and per-channel activity.
If the source responds but the destination does not, reopen the route and check its destination and channel settings. If both indicators respond but you hear nothing, check the receiving instrument or app.
Add a musical change
Open the route and expand Transform → NeuroScript.
- Visual Builder creates NeuroScript from musical building blocks.
- Examples loads a bundled or user-created starting point.
- Edit Script opens the full NeuroScript editor.
For a simple octave shift, use the Visual Builder to add a transpose operation set to +12, validate it, then select Apply or Save.
Save another setup
Routes are saved automatically in the active profile. Open Settings → Profiles to create a separate configuration for a rehearsal, performance, or studio session.
