MIDI In

Notes, gate, velocity, mod wheel and pitch bend from a MIDI controller

Open in the synth with a demo patch Open Modular

What it does

MIDI In receives notes from a real keyboard or controller through Web MIDI. This works in Chrome and Edge: the first time the module appears, the browser asks for permission to access MIDI devices, and after that the module shows it is ready. Notes leave as events on the Note output, with CV alongside: Gate stays up while a note is held, Vel is the velocity, Mod is the modulation wheel (CC1) and Bend is pitch bend from −1 to +1. You can pick a specific device and channel or listen to everything at once.

Try this

Connect a MIDI keyboard to Voice and play from physical keys.

Ports

note: Notes from the controller
gate: Gate CV: 1 while a note is held
vel: Velocity CV (0…1)
mod: Mod wheel CV (CC1)
bend: Pitch bend CV (−1…+1)

Parameters

Device · Channel · Octave

Try this

MIDI In Note → Voice Note, Mod → Filter Cutoff: the mod wheel opens the filter under your left hand.
Bend → Drone Pitch with an amount of 0.2: the bend wheel bends the drone by a couple of semitones.
No controller? Virtual MIDI keyboards and DAWs create a port that Chrome sees too.
