MCP MIDI Control

What it does

MCP MIDI Control transforms your AI assistant into a MIDI controller. It allows you to build full guitar presets or synth patches using plain language, translating your intent into SysEx, NRPN, and CC messages sent over USB to your hardware.

Key features

• Hardware-Verified Depth: Specialized support for Fractal AM4, Axe-Fx II, and ASM Hydrasynth Explorer.
• Display-First Interface: Values are read and written using front-panel units (e.g., dB, ms, enum names) rather than raw wire bytes.
• Cross-Device Translation: Port tones between different guitar modelers by mapping block roles and vocabularies automatically.
• Safe-by-Default: No silent saves; the server requires explicit intent before persisting changes to hardware memory.
• Generic MIDI Primitives: Control any USB MIDI device using standard CC and Program Change messages.
