Use it

Find the MIDI ports, then start the bridge with this driver:

osc-bridge detect        # prints the ready-to-run line for what is plugged in
osc-bridge run --device devices/motu/midi_timepiece_av.electra-martin-wip.fw-unknown.json --out-port <N> --in-port <M>

Then send OSC to 127.0.0.1:7777, for example:

osc-bridge osc-send /midi_timepiece_av/remap

From Claude or any MCP client, the osc-bridge mcp server exposes this driver as midi_timepiece_av: ask “what can the MOTU MIDI Timepiece AV do?” and it reads this map with list_routes. See the MCP guide.

Limitations

Imported from an Electra One community preset. The mapping reflects the preset author's editorial choices: parameter naming, ranges, and which params are exposed. Untested on hardware in this repo.

Frequently asked questions

Can an AI agent like Claude control the MOTU MIDI Timepiece AV?

Yes: SynthHub's hosted MCP server knows the MOTU MIDI Timepiece AV's MIDI map, and its browser relay lets the agent send it parameter changes or load a sound, each sound change confirmed by you.
