  • ShowMIDI is a multi-platform GUI application to effortlessly visualize MIDI activity. More information at: github.com/gbe...
    This application fills a void in the available MIDI monitoring solutions.
    Instead of wading through logs of MIDI messages to correlate relevant ones and identify what is happening, ShowMIDI visualizes the current activity and hides what you don't care about anymore. It provides you with a real-time glanceable view of all MIDI activity on your computer.

    Thank you! This is colossally helpful. One thing that might be nice, for when there are a LOT of devices, would be the ability to divide the UI into 2 or 3 rows in order to fit more columns on a single screen. This is NOT a complaint! This is a great and helpful utility.

    Excellent, you made my day with this! Putting it to use immediately troubleshooting some midi incompatibilities. One immediate change / feature request though - could you provide setting for alternate NRPN display, where the unique CC 98 and 99 combinations would be merged together into one visualization slot together with the actual CC 6 value? Right now, not only is it a bit unintuitive, but it is not possible to monitor multiple NRPN controllers (knobs) at the same time.

    • @gbevin
      @gbevin  Před měsícem

      Not sure I understand what you're saying, please provide a clear issue on GitHub. When I use multiple NRPN controllers, they all appear a separate 14 bit NRPN entries at the top.

    • @gbevin
      @gbevin  Před měsícem

      I think I know what might be going on, which device are you using for NRPN control? Could it be only using the MSB of the value and not the LSB? Currently, ShowMIDI only detects RPNs and NRPNs when but MSB and LSB of the data is received.

    Looks very useful. On windows (which doesn't route midi very well), can this watch and show me the midi going from controllers to Ableton live or will it hijack the midi so it doesn't reach Ableton?

    • @gbevin
      @gbevin  Před měsícem +1

      I think that depends on the Windows version you're using, I'm personally not a Windows user. The original MIDI stack would have the standalone ShowMIDI app dedicate the MIDI input to itself, however I seem to remember that there was a later version that actually allowed for shared MIDI device usage. You can also use ShowMIDI as a plugin inside a DAW, to do monitoring there.
