MIEM Editor is the desktop application for creating MIEM sessions. It can create and configure sessions for a MIEM Play or a MIEM Spat setup.
It also allows you to try and play your sessions. However, to get the best functionalities and performance, we highly recommend you to get the dedicated MIEM Play or MIEM Spat app.
To get MIEM Editor for Windows or macOS, please go to the downloads page.
Useful tips and tricks
Because this interface is still in the research phase, it lacks basic features such as the “Undo” (Ctrl Z) feature. Also, please keep in mind that MIEM Editor might crash from time to time because it has not been tested and debugged as much as the the Play and Spat apps.
So, do not forget to make frequent backups of your MIEM Editor sessions!
After working on your sessions, to play for concerts or any live situation, please use the Play or Spat app, which have been extensively tested. They are very stable and reliable on iOS, Windows and macOS.
