MiniHub 0.1.0 — pre-alpha

Pre-alpha. MiniHub is under active development and this is its first public
build. It runs, it makes sound, and it is not finished.

A desktop music workstation for Windows built around the Arturia MiniLab 3: a
Patch Bay of typed cables, a native VST3 host, a sample-accurate MIDI + audio
sequencer, Mixer / Morpher / Arpeggiator nodes, and learning that binds physical
knobs to VST3 parameters. Your cables — not the page you happen to be looking
at — decide what you hear.

Two ways to install, and they are equal

MiniHub-0.1.0-Setup.exe	Installs per user, no administrator prompt. Start-menu entry, optional desktop shortcut, listed in Add or remove programs.
MiniHub-0.1.0-portable.zip	Unzip anywhere and run MiniHub.exe. To update, replace the folder.

Both hold the same build. Your settings, projects, recordings and imported
controller profiles live outside the application folder — in
%APPDATA%\minilab-hub, Documents\MiniHub\Projects and
Music\MiniHub Recordings — so the two routes read the same data, and switching
between them loses nothing. Uninstalling removes the application and leaves your
work where it is.

Requirements

Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit. An Arturia MiniLab 3 is what MiniHub was built around,
but it is not required: another MIDI controller can be described in a profile and
loaded from Settings — see minihub.site.

Windows will warn you

The executable is not code-signed, so SmartScreen shows "Windows protected your
PC". Click More info → Run anyway, or verify what you downloaded first:

Known, and not hidden

• Two controllers can play at once, each drawing its own panel, but the VST Learn
  panel still draws only the first one's surface.
• Two physical controllers have never been on the desk together — the machinery
  is tested, that particular pairing is not.
• cc14, programchange and polyaftertouch bindings pass profile validation
  and are never decoded.

Built from 09bf2c2. Source, architecture and the decision register are in this
repository.
