Editor & Pipes
The Midihub Editor lets you customize Midihub’s processing logic by laying down the processing pipelines. The interface is based on intuitive Drag & Drop. Every pipeline starts from an Input or Generator pipe, from which MIDI data flows to the right, until it ends up in an Output pipe.

You can play around with the Editor even without the device connected. Download it for your platform below.
