MIDISKETCH / MIDI FX
MIDISKETCH

MIDISketch MIDI FX

MIDISketch as a MIDI effect. Put it in front of the synth on a track and draw: every note plays that synth with its own bend. No second track, no routing.

Which one?

MIDI FX installs next to the main MIDISketch. Same drawing; the difference is where the sound comes from.

PLAYS THE SYNTH ON THE TRACK

MIDI FX

Sits in front of the instrument and plays it: your DAW's own synths, or any synth already on the track.

Best for Logic's Alchemy, Bitwig's Polymer, a synth you already use. Sends MIDI only.

HOSTS THE SYNTH INSIDE

The main MIDISketch

Loads as the track's instrument, with your synth inside it.

Best for Voice to MIDI and anything that needs audio, and DAWs without a MIDI effect slot.
