DJE356 mentioned that the new app might not have the environment. This would be a big loss as I use it extensively it to make connections between the dozens of hardware modules in my 4 Unitor8 system. One example, I replaced the keyboard in one of my synths with a different brand and the velocity scaling is now different for the black keys. To correct this I use one transformer per black key to tailor the velocity response. Without the environment this would be impossible, and all the black keys would be really loud.

The only thing that makes sense is that because the (midi) environment duplicates some of the functionality of the core midi System Preferences page, they might move these options to the system preferences. That way the system would already be "wired" for all audio apps.

But if it we lose transformers and splitters I'll be dissapointed.
