Does this require the Conductor daemon to be active?

Yes, this skill requires the Conductor daemon to be running with its MCP server enabled to communicate with your hardware and the OS.

Do I need to know the specific MIDI note numbers to create a mapping?

No, the skill can guide you through using 'MIDI Learn' mode to automatically discover the note or CC numbers as you interact with your hardware.

Is it safe to run shell scripts via MIDI triggers?

Yes, the skill enforces a safety policy requiring shell command validation and explicit user approval of a configuration plan before any changes are applied.

Can I use this with any MIDI controller?

Yes, it supports any standard MIDI controller that sends Note or CC messages, as well as HID-compliant gamepads, provided the Conductor daemon is running.

Can I map complex gestures like holding a button or pressing multiple pads?

Yes, the skill supports advanced trigger types including LongPress, DoubleTap, and NoteChord for complex, multi-functional hardware layouts.

Productivity & Workflow

Configures MIDI and game controller mappings to automate system actions, keystrokes, and shell scripts via the Conductor daemon.

Conductor MIDI Mapping is a specialized skill designed to bridge the gap between physical hardware and digital automation. It enables users to transform inputs from MIDI controllers, gamepads, and HID devices into precise system actions like keyboard shortcuts, application launches, or custom scripts. By handling complex triggers—including velocity ranges, chords, long presses, and encoder turns—this skill allows for the creation of sophisticated, tactile workflows while ensuring safety through a dedicated plan-and-apply configuration model.
