Platforms & connection help

This shared view uses the host’s MIDI adapter. Browsers use Web MIDI when available; native shells can supply the same input contract for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, or an embedded host. An unavailable adapter is shown explicitly.

For USB controllers, use a data cable and check the device’s power and MIDI mode. BLE and network MIDI must first be exposed as an input by the operating system. Multiple ports can serve different functions; try each input to identify notes versus control-surface messages.

DAW recording, instrument routing, and shader control mappings are separate Audio and Virtual integrations. This workspace verifies the input first.
