The Interface

Layout Overview

SMT's interface is divided into four main areas: the title bar, the toolbar, the row list, and the transform editor.

Title Bar

The title bar runs across the top of the plugin. It shows the plugin name and, when relevant, the current license state:

LicensedNo message — just the plugin name.
DemoShows DEMO - X DAYS REMAINING in amber below the title.
UnlicensedShows UNLICENSED - NO MIDI OUTPUT in red below the title.

Row List

The row list takes up the upper portion of the main area of th e plugin. Each row represents one MIDI processing path. Rows are processed independently and in parallel — a MIDI message can be claimed and processedby multiple rows simultaneously.

Each row shows, left to right:

Row numberBecomes a drag handle when hovering the mouse, Reorder rows by dragging
TypeNOTE or CC — set when the row is created.
Source pillThe note range or CC number this row responds to.
Destination pillThe transposed note or remapped CC number.
Transform chainUp to 4 transform slots plus the Core/Basics slot.
In ChInput channel filter. ALL = any channel.
Out ChOutput channel. All passes the data on the same channel as it was input
BypassPower icon — bypasses the entire row.
Row menuContext menu for duplicate, copy, paste, presets, and delete.

Transform Editor

The Transform Editor occupies the lower portion of the main area. It shows the controls for whichever transform is currently selected in the row list.

Click any pill in a row's transform chain to open its editor. Click the Core pill (the leftmost one, labelled with the row type) to open the Basics editor for that row.

The divider between the row list and chain editor can be dragged up or down to resize the two areas.

Status Bar

The status bar runs along the bottom of the plugin and shows the last MIDI message seen at the input and output, with activity indicators for notes and CC values on both sides.
