We built knob.monster because we wanted a raw, lightweight way to talk to vintage hardware without installing bloated companion apps or obsolete drivers.
It's 100% browser-native and runs on the Web MIDI API.
How it works: Plug in your synth, click Scan, and it auto-detects your port.
No installation: No desktop clients, no USB drivers, no background processes.
Focus: Just a clean, zero-latency interface to pull, backup, and dump SysEx files directly.
If you have a vintage box nearby, you can test the scanner here: https://knob.monster
Minimalist, fast, barebones. Let us know if your hardware screams.
