Midi Brain

Summary

Midi Brain is a performance-first MIDI middleware app running on Raspberry Pi. It sits between controllers and instruments, handling intelligent routing and control so the performer can stay focused on playing.

Snapshot

• Status: functional prototype with web UI and live routing
• Format: Raspberry Pi-hosted MIDI middleware application
• Stack: Python, FastAPI, and JSON-backed config
• Focus: controller-first live performance without DAW dependency

What It Is

• Live MIDI router with transport and clock handling
• Macro engine for one-to-many parameter control
• FastAPI web UI for setup, monitoring, and editing
• Scene-based workflow planning for performance states

Current Direction

• Expand transform runtime beyond direct macro expansion
• Deepen scene recall and performance-state management
• Improve controller feedback and hardware integration
