Virtual MIDI / 01
Sometimes the problem is not choosing the harmony tool. It is figuring out how to send MIDI cleanly from one music app into another. Harmonimo can act as the harmony source, while a virtual MIDI bus moves the output into your DAW, instrument host, or another computer.
Why virtual MIDI matters
A virtual MIDI bus solves the handoff problem between apps.
When Harmonimo is running in standalone mode, it still needs a clean path into the rest of your setup. A virtual MIDI bus provides that path by acting as the shared lane between the harmony generator and the DAW or instrument receiving the notes.
That is useful when you want to separate the harmony engine from the sound engine, when you prefer a standalone performance surface driving another application, or when you want one setup to feed several destinations cleanly.
When to use this route with Harmonimo
The routing path is especially helpful in a few predictable cases.
Use it when you want Harmonimo Standalone to feed your DAW, when a controller or mapping setup is simpler outside the DAW's own plug-in-hosting path, or when you want one machine to act as the harmony brain for another machine or synth chain.
The value is not just compatibility. It is also modularity. Once the MIDI path is stable, you can swap instruments and destinations without losing the harmonic workflow you already built around Harmonimo.
