Interface Main Page
The main page is the entry point of the Général Midi Boop web interface. It provides an at-a-glance overview of the system state and quick access to every major feature.
The page is divided into functional zones:
| Zone | Description |
|---|---|
| Top navigation bar | Application title, global status indicator, settings shortcut |
| Transport controls | Play / Pause / Stop / Seek, tempo override, current file name |
| Device status strip | Compact list of connected instruments with enable/disable toggle |
| Section cards | Shortcut tiles to every main page and modal |
| Debug console link | Opens the live MIDI event log |
Each tile links to a dedicated area:
| Tile | Destination |
|---|---|
| Instruments | Interface-Instrument-Creation — manage and configure devices |
| Virtual keyboard | Interface-Virtual-Piano — play notes from the browser |
| Playlist | Interface-Playlist — upload and organise MIDI files |
| Lighting | Interface-Lighting-Control — configure stage lighting |
| Microphone | Interface-Microphone — latency calibration and tuner |
| Settings | Interface-Settings — theme, language, preferences |
| MIDI Editor | MIDI-Editor — piano roll, tablature, drums, wind |
| Auto-assign | Auto-Assignment — intelligent channel routing |
The transport bar is always visible. Controls:
- Play / Pause — start or suspend MIDI file playback.
- Stop — stop playback and rewind to the start.
- Seek bar — drag to jump to any position in the file.
- Tempo — override the file's BPM (empty = use file tempo).
- File name display — shows the currently loaded MIDI file; click to open the playlist.
Latency compensation is applied automatically per instrument during playback — no manual adjustment is needed once calibration is done (see Interface-Microphone).
Each connected instrument appears as a compact card showing:
- Display name
- Transport type icon (USB, Bluetooth, RTP-MIDI, Serial)
- Enable / disable toggle
- Compatibility badge (score 0–100 from the last auto-assignment run)
A red indicator means the device is unreachable or misconfigured. Click any card to open the Interface-Instrument-Creation for that device.
The debug panel streams:
- Live MIDI events (Note On/Off, CC, SysEx, …) with timestamps
- Backend log messages
- WebSocket command playground — type any command from API-Reference and inspect the response
Useful when wiring a new device or diagnosing timing issues.
- Installation — first-time setup
- Hardware-Integration — connecting USB, Bluetooth, RTP-MIDI, and serial devices
- Auto-Assignment — automatic channel-to-instrument routing
- Advanced-Topics — deep dives into calibration, hand position, i18n
