A MIDI desk now drives MoonLight three ways: through the browser, including the new Akai APC40 mkII profile; plugged straight into an S3 board's USB port, with no computer; and from one board to another over OSC, since a board can now follow another. Put together, a small ESP32-S3 becomes a MIDI-OSC bridge, which turns any class-compliant USB MIDI desk into a network controller. The StadBeest runs one with an iCON QCon.

Why

  • The MIDI service spoke only Mackie Control, so the APC40 sent input but got no feedback.
  • A desk needed a computer next to the installation, running a browser.
  • OSC linked a leader to followers in one direction only. A desk on a second board would have echoed values back and forth, and its pads could not reach the leader's presets.

What changed

The APC40 mkII profile (first commit)

  • The MIDI service's profile: Mackie Control or Akai APC40 mkII, following Akai's protocol v1.2. Faders, knobs and activator buttons drive the surface; the 40 clip pads show and apply presets, dim white when stored and green when applied.
  • The browser bridge sends a SysEx greeting, asking for SysEx access only when a desk's greeting carries one.

USB MIDI on the board

  • The MIDI service's usb setting: the desk plugs into the board's own USB port. A platform seam with two blocking tasks owns the espressif/usb host stack and reaches the render thread only through two packet queues.
  • It is built into the n8r8 and n16r8 images. The S3 images grow 57 KB, of which 43 KB is the USB host stack.
  • UsbMidi.h reads and writes USB-MIDI 1.0 event packets, SysEx included.

OSC followers

  • Pads over OSC: /mm/pad/N presses a preset, and a pad's state goes back as an int. The 30-second paced resend covers the pads.
  • The OSC module's follow setting:
    • what arrives is the followed board's feedback;
    • a desk's pads show that board's presets, and a press is passed on to it;
    • the follower greets that board instead of pushing its own state;
    • it sends back only what changes locally.
  • A value is never sent back to the host it came from, and a control being moved ignores feedback for half a second. These two keep two boards from echoing values between them.
  • The "MIDI-OSC bridge" device model sets a plain ESP32-S3 N16R8 up as a bridge in one click. Its hosts can stay empty: it greets the leader as soon as the leader's first datagram arrives.

Docs

  • The services reference covers OSC follow, pads and the echo rule, plus MIDI usb.
  • The multi-board guide gains the bridge board, and the control surfaces reference gains the APC40 mkII section.
  • A new reference page for the LightCrafter 16.

Verified

  • On the StadBeest, the QCon on the bridge board drives the legs board over OSC with no computer. Motors, lights and the preset pads follow the legs board.
  • A fresh bridge with empty hosts greets the leader within 6 seconds of booting.
  • The APC40 works on the desktop through the browser.
  • Pre-commit and pre-merge are green:
    • 2332 desktop tests pass, plus 227 JS tests;
    • ESP32 builds of esp32, n16r8, n8r8, p4rev3-eth and s3-zero have 0 diagnostics;
    • docgen is even and check_code one finding lower;
    • the Reviewer's and CodeRabbit's findings are processed.

Open, in the MIDI plan's step 4

  • The legs LEDs pause briefly on each QCon move.
  • A QCon fader sometimes slides back after it is released.
  • The APC40 on a board needs a powered USB hub, and the firmware's hub support switched on.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added support for Akai APC40 mkII control surfaces, including fader, knob, button, and preset-pad mappings with visual feedback.
    • Added USB MIDI support on compatible boards.
    • Added OSC preset-pad control and feedback, plus an option to follow another board’s controls and preset state.
    • Added a MIDI-OSC bridge device option.
  • Documentation
    • Expanded setup and hardware guides with control-surface instructions, effect previews, and a LightCrafter 16 reference. Updated related examples and metrics.

An Akai APC40 mkII plugged into the browser now drives a board: faders and knobs move the Control slots, the track buttons toggle switches, and the 40 clip pads show and apply the presets, lit dim white when stored and green when applied. The multi-board guide is restructured around the StadBeest video and gains a section on playing it by hand with the APC40.

**Core**
- The MIDI service gains a `profile` select, Mackie Control or Akai APC40 mkII. The APC40 profile maps faders to CC7, track knobs to CC 0x30 to 0x37 and track buttons to note 0x32, and its hidden `hello` carries the SysEx that switches the desk to host-lit mode plus the knob ring style.
- The Control module exposes pad states (empty, stored, active) and `pressPad(slot)`, and mirrors the preset grid to a surface only after a preset is stored, moved, renamed, removed or applied.
- `ControlSurface.h` drops the unused ring and color verbs; its notes explain why a surface receives values rather than colors.

**UI**
- The browser MIDI bridge asks for SysEx access and sends the service's `hello` before the desk slots, again after a reconnect.

**Tests**
- Four APC40 unit tests: faders, knobs and track buttons; the greeting; the top-left pad storing and applying preset 1; the button lights and knob rings following their slots. A JS test pins the hello parsing.

**Docs/CI**
- The control-surface reference gains the APC40 mkII section, and the desks get transparent photos; the MIDI service card names the profile.
- The multi-board guide opens with the StadBeest video, follows the build order and adds playing it by hand with the APC40.
- The S31 CoreBoard and P4-ETH pages gain a board image; the MIDI desks plan gains step 2b.
- Scenario observations, repo-health, code, prose and docgen metrics.

**Reviews**
- 👾 pad states recomputed every 20 ms → done, mirrored only after a preset change.
- 👾 ring and color verbs unused → done, removed.
- 👾 the pad grid assumes the Control card's width → done, `static_assert`.
- 👾 a test checked part of a pad message → done, the full `902002`.

- 👾 the reference claimed release velocity 0 → done, "note off" only.
- 👾 stale `desk_` comment → done.
- 👾 hard-wrapped Sources lines → done.
- 👾 a test declared its controls twice → done.

Surface values now include preset pads. ControlModule exposes local and remote pad states, pad presses, typed control updates, and configurable surface seeding.
OSC pad routing and following
src/core/services/OscModule.h, src/core/services/OscPacket.h
OSC supports one-based pad addresses, pad feedback, follower state, startup requests, source exclusion, and temporary suppression after local moves.
MIDI profiles and APC40 behavior
src/core/services/MidiService.h, test/unit/core/unit_ControlModule.cpp
MidiService supports Mackie and APC40 profiles. APC40 input maps faders, knobs, activators, and pads. Feedback covers lights, rings, and pad colors.
USB MIDI host transport
src/platform/esp32/platform_esp32_usb_midi.cpp, src/platform/platform.h, src/core/util/UsbMidi.h, esp32/main/*

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve ordinary MIDI when SysEx access is denied.

This request requires SysEx permission even for Mackie Control. If the browser denies SysEx but would allow ordinary MIDI, the promise rejects. midiAsked then prevents another request, so Mackie input and feedback remain unavailable until reload. Request SysEx only for the APC40, or retry without SysEx and report that APC40 setup remains unavailable. The Web MIDI specification defines rejection when requested SysEx support is denied.

@ewowi ewowi changed the title Drive the Akai APC40 mkII from the MIDI service MIDI desks anywhere: the APC40 profile, USB MIDI on a board, OSC followers Oct 7, 2026
A MIDI desk now plugs straight into an S3 board's USB port, with no computer, and a board can follow another over OSC: it takes that board's values and presets, and sends back only what changes on its own desk. Together they make a MIDI-OSC bridge, a small board that turns any class-compliant USB MIDI desk into a network controller; the StadBeest runs one with an iCON QCon.

KPI: 256lights | Desktop:2160KB | tick:1/6/7/2/6/7/300/7/7/11us(FPS:1000000/166666/142857/500000/166666/142857/3333/142857/142857/90909) | ESP32:2017KB | src:301(76611) | test:227(51341) | functions-over:333

**Core**
- USB MIDI host behind a platform seam (`usbMidiBegin/End/Connected/Read/Write`): two blocking tasks own the espressif/usb host stack and reach the render thread only through two packet queues. Built into the n8r8 and n16r8 images (`CONFIG_MM_USB_MIDI_HOST`); the S3 images grow 57 KB, of which 43 KB is the USB host stack.
- `UsbMidi.h`: USB-MIDI 1.0 event packets in and out, SysEx included.
- MidiService gains `usb`: the desk on the board's own port, greeted once, then sent only the slots that changed, at once rather than on the next tick.
- OscModule: pads over OSC (`/mm/pad/N` presses a preset, a pad's state goes out as an int), `follow` (what arrives is the followed board's feedback; pads show its presets and a press is relayed; no seeding, a greeting instead), no value sent back to the host it came from, and a half-second hold-off for a control being moved here.
- ControlModule: `setValue`/`value`/`turn` for a desk's input, remote pads, a `Seed` choice for attaching surfaces, and the paced resend covering the pads.
- One OSC message encoder for both directions (`encodeSurface`, `encodeInt`), and the default feedback port and group as shared constants.

**UI**
- The browser asks for SysEx only when a desk's greeting carries one, so a Mackie desk works with SysEx refused; an unplug no longer re-greets every desk.

**Scripts/MoonDeck**
- `deviceModels.json`: the MIDI-OSC bridge device model; check_devices knows MIDI and OSC as capabilities.

**Tests**
- A follower test (values, echo, hold-off, pads, relayed press), a USB desk test on a desktop test desk (greeted once, changes only, no re-greet on prepare, input drives the surface), OSC pad press and paced pad resend, USB-MIDI packets, the int golden vector, and a pad that cannot apply.

**Docs/CI**
- services.md: OSC `follow`, pads and the echo rule; MIDI `usb`. The multi-board guide gains the bridge board; the control surfaces reference says the QCon works on a board's port.
- A LightCrafter 16 reference page; its open questions go to the light backlog.
- The MIDI plan's step 4 records what shipped and backlogs the legs pause and the QCon fader slide-back.
- Repo health, code, docgen and prose metrics; scenario observations.

**Reviews**
- 🐇 the plan said other Akai desks come in through learn → done, they wait for MIDI learn.
- 🐇 an occupied pad that fails to apply reported as empty → done, "did not apply", pinned.
- 🐇 the paced resend skipped the pads → done earlier in this change, `kSurfaceValues`.
- 🐇 SysEx asked for every desk → done, only when a greeting carries one, pinned.
- 👾 releasing the interface with a transfer in flight wedged the host → done, endpoints halted and flushed first, returns checked.
- 👾 every prepare re-greeted the USB desk → done, the port is taken only on a change, pinned.
- 👾 a refused start was never retried → done, retried on the tick.
- 👾 ratchets rose → done, docgen and prose even, code one lower.
- 👾 a preset press over OSC applies on the render thread → no change: a press is a user action, and a preset apply runs at a frame boundary by design, as prepareTree does.
- 👾 a long greeting token read past its buffer → done, bounded.
- 👾 the follower's two pad grids → documented: a desk's pads show the followed board's presets, the card's grid this board's.
- 👾 an IN error resubmitted in a loop → done, resubmit on completion only, an error closes the desk.
- 👾 docs: long sentences, negatives in the LightCrafter page, a work link from reference, the leftover list, MC mode on the card, empty hosts → done; `//` above `hasUsbMidiHost` kept, as its sibling `hasHls` has it.
- 👾 an unplug re-greeted every desk → done.
- 👾 the USB path untested → done, a desktop test desk.

usbMidiBegin’s existing task check to avoid duplicate starts while the library
task exists.
- Around line 150-155: Update the failed-startup branch in runClient() to
release any successfully allocated s.in and s.out transfers and deregister
s.client when present, clearing each state pointer after cleanup. Perform this
cleanup before deleting the client task so runLibrary() can observe client
shutdown and complete host teardown.

Add active-capability predicates for MIDI and OSC.

The device picker marks supported capabilities as active only when CAP_MODULE contains a matching predicate. The new model configures MidiService and OscModule, but MIDI and OSC have no predicates, so both appear as merely supported.

Suggested fix
       const CAP_MODULE = {
         LEDs:     m => /LedDriver$/.test(m.type || ""),
         Ethernet: m => m.type === "EthernetModule" && ethConfigured(m),

Remove the platform dependency from MidiService.

src/core/services/MidiService.h directly includes platform/platform.h and calls platform::hasUsbMidiHost and the platform::usbMidi* transport functions. This violates the mandatory src/core/** boundary. src/core/util/UsbMidi.h provides packet encoding and decoding only; it is not a transport abstraction.

Define a small core-owned USB-MIDI transport interface, inject it into MidiService, and implement the adapter in src/platform. Preserve the no-host behavior and the existing factory construction path.

Check the result of the pad-press send.

pressPad returns true after it calls sendPress. sendFeedback returns false when no host is set and no peer has written yet. In that case the press is dropped and the caller still reports success. For example, MIDI then shows "pad N" as applied. One fix is to make sendPress return a bool and propagate it to pressPad.

Clean up failed USB client startup

When client registration succeeds but a transfer allocation fails, runClient() deletes itself without freeing the successful allocation or deregistering s.client. runLibrary() then keeps waiting for the no-client event, so the host is not uninstalled. usbMidiBegin() still reports success because s.libTask remains set, and MidiService does not retry the missing client. Clean up the partial startup before deleting the client task.

Retry USB MIDI startup after asynchronous host-install failure.

usbMidiBegin() reports only task creation. runLibrary() can then fail in usb_host_install() and clear s.libTask. MidiService keeps usbBegun_ true, so serveUsb() does not retry while USB remains enabled. Call usbMidiBegin() on every USB service tick; it remains idempotent while the library task exists.

Suggested fix
     void serveUsb() {
         // The port may still be on its way back from an earlier off, so a refused start is asked again.
-        if (!usbBegun_) usbBegun_ = platform::usbMidiBegin();
+        usbBegun_ = platform::usbMidiBegin();

Use the first MidiService for SysEx permission.

The bridge already uses services[0] for the greeting and desk state. midiWantsSysex() scans all services instead. With Mackie first and APC40 later, the bridge can request SysEx permission but send only the empty Mackie greeting. Use the same first-service selector for permission and output. This preserves the existing first-service precedence.

-function midiWantsSysex(services) {

Reset the test clock if an assertion fails.

setTestNowMs changes process-wide state, and the platform contract requires tests to restore 0. If the REQUIRE fails, the normal-path reset does not run. Use an RAII guard to restore the clock during stack unwinding.

In the test block that calls mm::platform::setTestNowMs, add a scoped RAII guard
that restores the test clock to 0 when the scope exits, including during
assertion failure and stack unwinding. Keep the clock restoration reliable
regardless of whether the test reaches its existing reset.

A pad pressed on a board following another now reports success only when the press went out, and a USB client that fails to start cleans up so the port can be given back. The installer marks MIDI and OSC as active capabilities, and the browser asks for SysEx by the desk it greets.

KPI: unchanged from 4aabaf4; code findings 1664 -> 1664, docgen and prose even.

**Core**
- `ControlSurface::sendPress` returns whether the press went out, and `ControlModule::pressPad` reports success only then.
- The USB MIDI client task frees its transfers and deregisters through one cleanup, on a failed start as on a normal stop.

**UI**
- `midiWantsSysex` reads the first MIDI service, the one the browser greets.
- The installer's device picker marks MIDI and OSC active for models carrying a MIDI service or an OSC module.

**Tests**
- The follower test restores the real clock through a scope guard, even when a check throws; the SysEx test pins first-service precedence.

**Reviews**
- 🐇 MIDI and OSC missing from the picker's capability predicates → done.
- 🐇 MidiService calls the platform layer directly → skipped: core reaching the platform through its seam is the architecture, as the OSC module does for the network.
- 🐇 sendPress reported success without sending → done.
- 🐇 call usbMidiBegin on every tick → skipped: after a failed install that retries it 50 times a second; the retry covers a port still being given back.
- 🐇 a failed client start leaked and blocked uninstall → done, one shared cleanup.
- 🐇 SysEx decided across all services → done, the first one.
- 🐇 the test clock restore could be skipped by a failing check → done, a scope guard.
