I’d like to use IanniX over MIDI to get access to the wide range of sounds from the huge number of available MIDI synths. From what I can see IanniX has very limited support for controlling the parameters of MIDI messages based on the score state variables.

Here is a score I created using MIDI:

This is interesting, but the triggers have static MIDI notes assigned to them. It would be interesting to be able to control note number, controllers, pitch bend, program change, etc with parameters from the score.

In fact I was able to do this in a limited manner using setBoundsSource and setBoundsTarget to remap some parameter into the 0..127 range of MIDI variables, and then assigning that parameter to, say note number. But this is unintuitive and hard to control.

Is there any better way to do this? For example, to use cursor position to control the MIDI note number or data sent to a MIDI CC?

I realize this would be possible by sending the parameters via OSC to say Max, transforming them and sending them to MIDI, but this would involve too many applications for my liking.

If there is currently no way to do this in IanniX, I have several ideas on how it might be added and I may have a go at modifying the source code to support it. Also from what I can see IanniX does not currently support sending pitch bend or program change so I may add those too.

Note that I’m also very interested in using OSC to directly to control Supercollider, but for some projects I need easier access to the conventional instrument sounds that are available from MIDI synthesizers.
