AKAI MIDImix

LED feedback is modeled for 16 of its controls: the LED column says which message lights each one.

1. Embed it with one line

   No import map, no build step. Change layout, add hardware="ask" for a Connect button.

   htmlCopy

   <script type="module" src="https://openaudiovisual.com/packages/midi/element.js"></script>
   <oav-controller profile="akai-midimix" readout></oav-controller>

2. Or as an iframe

   For places that only take an iframe. Every event arrives as a postMessage.

   htmlCopy

   <iframe src="https://openaudiovisual.com/embed/controller/?profile=akai-midimix&readout"
           width="720" height="627" style="border:0;max-width:100%" allow="midi"
           title="AKAI MIDImix"></iframe>
   <script>
     // every control the visitor plays arrives here
     addEventListener('message', (e) => {
       if (e.data?.source !== 'openav' || e.data.type !== 'control') return;
       console.log(e.data.detail.signal, e.data.detail.value);
     });
   </script>

3. Send it to Ableton, TouchDesigner or Resolume

   What you play on screen leaves as real MIDI on the IAC bus (macOS) or a loopMIDI port (Windows). The steps are on the catalog page.

   htmlCopy

   <!-- what you play on this controller → the IAC bus (macOS) → Ableton, TouchDesigner, Resolume -->
   <script type="module" src="https://openaudiovisual.com/packages/midi/element.js"></script>
   <oav-controller profile="akai-midimix" midi-out="IAC" readout></oav-controller>
   <!-- Windows: midi-out="loopMIDI" · let the visitor pick a port: midi-out="ask" -->

   macOS: Audio MIDI Setup → MIDI Studio → IAC Driver → “Device is online”. Windows 11: the built-in Windows MIDI Services have a loopback (not tested by us); older Windows: install loopMIDI, add a port and use midi-out="loopMIDI".
