Tools & Settings
Tools and Settings keep your Neurode MIDI sessions tight, responsive, and easy to verify before you hit the stage. This guide shows the UI places where you monitor live MIDI, tune performance, and lock in favorites so you can focus on music instead of menus.
Tools Tab Overview
The Tools tab is your live status board. Two widgets matter most:
- Event Visualizer – See incoming MIDI as animated streaks, labels, or floating bubbles so you can confirm channels, CCs, and notes arrive before they hit your synths. If you are scripting or splitting channels, it’s the fastest way to know which events reach Neurode MIDI.
- MIDI Flow Panel – This graph sits beside the Routing Matrix and lights up every active source → transform → destination path. Tap a connection to expand it full-screen, then use the live dots and rates to check whether notes actually pass through a transform or stop somewhere unexpected.
Use these tools together: let the Visualizer prove the source, and let the Flow panel prove the route. Both stay visible even while you build transforms, so you can watch the system respond as you tweak filters, transpose, or layer synths.
Configurations & Settings
Open Settings (gear icon in the routing header) to save rigs, tune performance, and control diagnostic helpers.
- Configurations — Save your live rig, studio rig, or one-off patch as named presets. Switch instantly from Practice, Rehearsal, or Gig without rebuilding transforms. Each configuration remembers sources, destinations, transforms, and scripts.
- Performance toggles — Enable or disable the Event Visualizer, set CPU-aware sampling rates, and tweak latency warnings so Neurode MIDI stays smooth on your Mac or iPad. If you notice jitter, drop heavy transforms or disable scripting for just that node while you test.
- Device refresh & virtual ports — Re-scan MIDI hardware, enable virtual ports for DAW routing, or delete stale ports when you unplug gear. If a source disappeared, use Refresh Devices before rebooting your OS.
- Script Engine settings — Manage the supported languages (Neuroscript, Lua) from the Script Engine transform panel. The same helper libraries and examples in
scripts/are shipped with the app, so you can tweak templates, test in the Event Visualizer, and deploy the code without leaving Neurode MIDI.
There are also toggles for notifications, theme accents, and MIDI tempo handling, so spend a few minutes in Settings to match the app to your rig and preferences.
Troubleshooting Shortcuts
- PANIC button in the Routing tab clears stuck notes instantly.
- Context store states are preserved per configuration—reset a configuration to drop stored values for fresh testing.
- When an event seems lost, open the Flow panel, then watch the Event Visualizer while you mute transforms one by one. Script log output is visible in the Tools tab for quick verification.
Keep this guide handy when you want to prove that a routing chain is working, whether you are scripting in Neuroscript or Lua, or when you just need to confirm a keyboard split before the next take.
