Product Description:

MIDI Monitor is a utility for Mac OS X which displays incoming MIDI signals in a variety of formats, with filtering by message type and channel. Musicians will find it handy for tracking down confusing MIDI problems. Programmers can use it to test MIDI drivers and applications.

What's new in this version:

MIDI events are now saved in documents.
Fixed an old and embarrassing bug with the disclosable Sources and Filters sections. They now work correctly when the window is nearly the size of the screen.
When new events are received, don't always scroll to the bottom, and show the events more quickly.
Fixed more cosmetic bugs: Source names would disappear when clicked, when running on Leopard. Selection highlight on the event list could get cut off. Disclosure button animation was flickery.
Simplified some threading code, which makes the app more stable, especially as MIDI devices are added and removed.
Updated the source code to work with Xcode 3.1.
Now requires OS X 10.3.9 or later. If you're still on 10.2, use the old version, 1.1.8.

Thanks for the application - Version: 1.2, 2/8/2009 02:15PM PST

Its amazing how this type of information is not readily available in most of the high end audio applications - I've been struggling with some midi connectivity issues, and this application made the source of the problem obvious within 50 seconds of downloading the app from the web... It also looks like a good tool to help remember (or discover) what the meaning of MIDI cc messages are for any given instrument, etc.

Thanks for making this available...

Sincerely

simple but very effective in troubleshooting a MIDI setup. works perfectly, this should be a standard feature/included utility to Apple's MIDI Studio and/or any DAW setup.
