These applications are classic implementations of the Model View Controller pattern. Each was a custom remote editing application for controlling external digital musical instrument hardware and communicated with that hardware via the serial Musical Instrument Digital Interface protocol.
The purpose was not only to simulate all of the device's knobs and switches and provide a much more efficient way of editing the many sound parameters, but to provide data librarian and backup functions.
With the power of bitmaps graphics, it was possible to visualize audio data and possible to implement various algorithms to handle tedious and repetitive parameter-inputting functions.
Another interesting use was to create various parameter randomization and interpolation functions for experimenting with new sounds.
