Transforms
Transforms are Neurode MIDI’s sound-shaping tools. They sit between a source and destination and change the message stream in musical ways.
What Transforms Do
Transforms can:
- Change pitch and velocity
- Filter or remap controllers
- Split or merge note ranges
- Quantize timing for tighter performance
- Generate musical patterns from input
Think of them as pedals for your MIDI data.
Transform Chains
You can stack multiple transforms on a single route. They process in order from source to destination:
- Filter incoming notes
- Transpose up an octave
- Compress velocity
Reorder transforms to change the musical result.
Scripted Transforms
For custom behavior, use the Script Engine transform with Neuroscript or Lua. Scripts run per event and can return one, many, or no events.

When to Use Transforms
- Live performance: set up splits, layers, and emergency filters
- Studio routing: normalize controllers between devices
- Creative work: generate chord stacks, gated patterns, or rhythmic delays
