Hardware MIDI
Synths, drum machines, effects, and controllers can connect over USB MIDI or through a compatible MIDI interface. Device-specific behavior must be tested on the real unit.
Compatibility
Supported means tested. Everything else stays labeled.
The first beta is deliberately narrow. This matrix will move from pending to verified only after clean-machine and real-rig evidence.
Compatibility evidence is still being collected. No combination below is presented as publicly verified until a signed beta build passes the stated test.
Computer
| Platform | Status | Boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Apple Silicon Mac | Beta target | arm64 release path |
| Intel Mac | Not supported | No public v1 promise |
| Windows | Not supported | Outside first release |
| Minimum macOS | Pending | Set after clean-machine QA |
MIDI devices
Maeztro is designed for hardware and software that accepts standard MIDI messages. Each mapping names an explicit output port, channel, and message; Maeztro does not assume that two devices expose the same controls.
Software MIDI
DAWs, plug-ins, and virtual instruments can receive approved messages through macOS MIDI ports when the target exposes MIDI control.
A device enters a Live Pack only after its port, channel, message map, timing, and manual-override behavior are confirmed on the real rig. “Any MIDI device” means a compatible target can be mapped through standard MIDI—not that Maeztro automatically knows every manufacturer’s private protocol.
Profile catalog boundary
Data-only profiles currently exist for selected LiveTrak, Loopy Pro, Roland, Korg, and Moog workflows. A catalog entry is not hardware proof: every new rig begins in soundcheck required, unknown controls use local guided MIDI Learn, and unsigned or review-required mappings cannot execute.
Music software
Ableton Live is the deepest integration in the first beta. Maeztro installs an independent Control Surface for session-aware inspection and guarded tools. Live Mode may run during a Recording / Jam session; it is the real-time control authority within the wider workflow, not the workflow itself. The exact supported Live versions and editions remain pending clean-machine validation.
Other DAWs and music apps use their existing MIDI-learn or mapping systems. Dedicated integrations will be listed separately as they are verified.
What each status means
- Verified: passed the documented clean-machine or real-rig check.
- Beta target: implementation exists, but public compatibility evidence is incomplete.
- Pending: no claim is made yet.
- Not supported: outside the public v1 contract.
