This is the simplest musical chain in Voro: take MIDI from a controller, turn it into note voices, and play an instrument. Build this first to confirm control input reaches audio output.

What You Are Building

A live, playable instrument. Press a key on your controller and hear the instrument respond.

MIDI Capture -> MIDI Note -> Synth -> Device Out

Operators To Place

• MIDI Capture — reads raw messages from your MIDI device.
• MIDI Note — converts MIDI notes into a note-voice stream (pitch, velocity, gate per voice).
• Synth — an instrument that renders note voices into audio.
• Device Out — sends the audio to your selected output device.

Wire It Up

1. Place MIDI Capture and select your controller as its device.
2. Place MIDI Note and connect MIDI Capture into it.
3. Place Synth and connect MIDI Note into its voices input.
4. Place Device Out and connect Synth into its in input.
5. Select your audio device on Device Out and raise its master level.

Try Other Instruments

The note-voice stream is shared across every melodic instrument, so you can swap Synth for any of these without rewiring:

• Sampler — plays mapped sample material.
• Wavetable Synth — wavetable oscillator voices.
• Deep Beast — bass and sub-focused voice.
• Halo — plucked, struck, and bowed tonal voice.
• Drift — pad, drone, and texture voice.

Expected Result

Playing your controller produces sound immediately. Notes become a note-voice stream, the instrument renders audio, and Device Out sends it to your device. If you hear nothing, check that MIDI Capture sees your controller and that Device Out points at the correct device with its master level up.
