๐ŸŽฏ What Happens When You Set Up MIDI

After IAC Driver Setup (5 min)

bash
python -c "import mido; print(mido.get_output_names())"
# Should show: ['IAC Driver Bus 1']

After Serato Config (10 min)

python
from computational_studio.studio.dj_agent import SeratoBridge

config = {
    'mode': 'midi',
    'midi_port': 'IAC Driver Bus 1',
    'map': {...}  # From dj.yaml
}

bridge = SeratoBridge(config)
# โœ… Serato MIDI bridge opened: IAC Driver Bus 1

# Send test message
bridge.send({'type': 'midi', 'message_type': 'note_on', 'channel': 0, 'note': 36, 'velocity': 127})
# โ†’ Serato Deck A plays/pauses

After First Live Run

bash
cd computational-studio/studio
python runtime/engine.py

# You'll see:
# โœ… StudioEngine initialized
# โœ… DJ Agent initialized (mode=ghost)
# ๐Ÿ‘ป [GHOST] Would execute: LOOP_4_A at ฯˆ=+8.2ยฐ
