Theory
Hybrid does not only mean audio routing. It also means control routing.
MIDI can influence:
- pitch
- triggers
- macro modulation
- performance gestures
Why It Matters
A self-running system becomes much more useful when a performer can intervene:
- open the filter
- change density
- transpose a sequence
- trigger structural transitions
Patch Idea
MIDI controller -> Rack MIDI module -> pitch / gates / mapped macrosPractice
Choose three parameters in your patch that should remain performable by hand.
