What Changed?

Before	After
Name: MIDIMon	Name: Conductor
Focus: MIDI controllers only	Focus: Multi-protocol (MIDI + HID gamepads + future OSC)
Version: v3.0.0	Version: v4.0.0 (breaking change)
Repository: amiable-dev/midimon	Repository: amiable-dev/conductor

---

Why the Rebrand?

When we launched MIDIMon in 2024, it was focused exclusively on MIDI controllers. But with v3.0, we added full support for game controllers (Xbox, PlayStation, Switch Pro), joysticks, racing wheels, and other HID devices.

The name "MIDIMon" no longer reflected the project's multi-protocol capabilities. Conductor orchestrates inputs from diverse hardware - not just MIDI.

Migration Guide

v4.0 is a breaking change with no automatic migration. Follow these steps:

1. Export Your MIDIMon Config

# Backup your existing config
cp ~/.config/midimon/config.toml ~/midimon-backup.toml

2. Install Conductor

macOS:

brew install amiable-dev/tap/conductor

Other platforms:
Download from https://getconductor.app

3. Copy Config to New Location

# Create conductor config directory
mkdir -p ~/.config/conductor

# Copy your config
cp ~/midimon-backup.toml ~/.config/conductor/config.toml

4. Update System Service (if using daemon)

macOS:

# Stop old MIDIMon service
launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.amiable.midimon.plist

# Start new Conductor service
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.amiable.conductor.plist

Linux (systemd):

# Stop old service
