Geert Bevin of Uwyn has launched a spatial MIDI designer that fully embraces many new capabilities of Apple Vision Pro.

The initial version of MIDI Widgets supports faders, buttons and knobs, while more controls will be added in future updates.

MIDI controllers can be positioned anywhere in your physical spaces and will stay anchored where you put them. MIDI Widgets will recognize different rooms and locations and restore your controller designs exactly as you left them, even across restarts.

Controllers can be grouped in scenes, allowing different layouts to be recalled for different purposes. Each scene has its own set of enabled MIDI outputs.
