It allows you to make custom MIDI processing modules that you design yourself using a concise programming language made up of rules. There are simple rules for matching and transforming MIDI events and more complex rules for writing modules that behave conditionally, set/examine variables, perform math/timing operations, and of course, generate MIDI messages.
Generally rules do one or more of these things, and often combine them:
- decompose and recompose longer MIDI messages
- filter MIDI messages
- transform MIDI messages
- produce more MIDI messages
The first case, decomposition of MIDI messages, will be useful for parsing incoming sysex dumps for hardware synths that produce parseable sysex dumps for patches.
