Has anyone tried "MIDIx" by Fingerlab yet? (Physics-based MIDI generator)

Hi everyone,

I recently stumbled upon a new plugin in the App Store called MIDIx by the developer Fingerlab. It apparently just launched a few days ago.

It’s an AUv3 plugin for iOS and macOS that generates MIDI notes and CC data based on a physics engine (objects bouncing, colliding, orbiting, etc., to modulate X/Y parameters or trigger notes).

Since it's so brand new, there are no reviews in the App Store yet and I couldn't find any mentions on Reddit.

Before dropping the money, I wanted to ask if anyone here has already beta-tested or bought it? Is it actually useful for creating organic modulation/generative patterns in a DAW (like Logic), or is it more of a gimmick?

Thanks!

Launchkey MK4 - Encoder behaviour in DAW mode

Hi everyone,

I'm using the Launchkey 37 MK4 with Logic Pro in DAW mode. I've set the encoders to Plugin mode because I want to use them exclusively for Logic's Smart Controls to tweak my plugins.

It works great so far, but I'm running into an annoying issue with the encoder focus.

Sometimes, when I switch the active track inside Logic using my mouse, the encoders suddenly stop controlling the plugin and start changing the track volume instead. The weird thing is that the pad on the Launchkey for "Plugin Mode" is still lit up and looks active. The only way to fix it is to de-select and re-select Plugin mode on the keyboard to reset it.

Interestingly, if I only use the Track Select buttons on the keyboard itself to switch tracks, this never happens. It only breaks when I use the mouse.

Is this a known bug with the Logic integration script, or is it intended behavior? Has anyone else noticed this or found a fix?

Thanks!
