MIDI Output

The MIDI Output node sends generated notes to external MIDI hardware or other applications. It is a terminal MIDI sink on the canvas.

SETUP

1. 1Add a MIDI Output node via Modules > MIDI Output
2. 2Connect any MIDI-producing node (Pattern, Generator, Transformer, etc.) to its input
3. 3Select a MIDI output device from the dropdown
4. 4Choose a MIDI channel: 1-16, or "From note"

The node shows an activity indicator when notes are being sent.

CHANNEL

A fixed channel of 1-16 stamps every outgoing note onto that channel. "From note" instead sends each note on whatever channel it already carries, so an upstream Set MIDI Channel or MIDI Round Robin can address several parts of a multitimbral instrument through a single MIDI Output. New nodes default to channel 1.

DEVICE SELECTION

The device dropdown lists all available MIDI output devices on your system. If you connect a new MIDI device while Noemi is running, use the refresh button to update the list.

HOST (DAW) OUTPUT

When Noemi runs as a plugin, the device dropdown adds a "Host (DAW)" entry at the top. Select it to send the generated MIDI back out through the plugin into the host DAW, where you can route it to another track to drive your DAW's own instruments with Noemi's generative parts. See "Sending MIDI to Your DAW" below for the exact per-host routing steps.

This entry appears in the VST3, CLAP, and LV2 builds (and the iOS AUv3), which deliver MIDI to the host. It is hidden in the desktop Audio Unit (AU) build, because no common AU host (Logic, GarageBand, Ableton Live) routes an instrument plug-in's MIDI output - so use the VST3 or CLAP for DAW MIDI, or an IAC bus (see below). In the standalone app the dropdown lists hardware and virtual MIDI ports only.

NOTE TRACKING

The MIDI Output node tracks active pitches so note-offs are always sent, even if the source node is disconnected or deleted.
