GIDI - a visualiser for MIDI

A free web application intended for live performances. By interpreting MIDI note on/off messages GIDI renders and animates a scene on a web browser. GIDI offers:

  • Multiple styles to choose from (Piano, Firework, Mirror, Swirl, Cube)
  • Full customisation of the scene e.g. change note/expression/background colours, lighting, autorotate, note dampening
  • Record camera sequences, transition between shots by either 'Note down' or 'Time interval'
  • Map different MIDI statuses (e.g. Pitch Wheel or Sliders) to change the scene in real-time

Guide

  1. Plug in a MIDI instrument to your PC using a MIDI-to-USB cable
  2. Go to gidi.uk
  3. The browser will show a prompt 'gidi.uk wants to "Control and reprogram your MIDI devices"', click 'Allow'
  4. Press the button "I've connected a MIDI device"
  5. Select a 'Style' from the following 5 options: 'Piano', 'Firework', 'Mirror', 'Swirl', 'Cube'
