ShowMIDI 1.0 Tutorial : Multi-platform GUI application to effortlessly visualize MIDI activity
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 авг 2024
- ShowMIDI is a multi-platform GUI application to effortlessly visualize MIDI activity. More information at: github.com/gbevin/ShowMIDI
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.

Fantastic - thanks so much for your work on this!
Thanks so much for your very useful feedback and support!
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.
I have been wishing for something like this for over a decade. Thank you so much.
@@walterarlenhenry you're very welcome!
WOW ... What a fantastic relief this is, Geert!
@@PieterLaroy thank you!
Ever since I saw showMIDI, it’s all I use. It works a treat. Your video explains just why the organization of the midI stream into something human readable is so useful. Great work!
Thanks so much! Glad you like it!
Really great work! Such an innovative perspective on MIDI monitoring, yet seems so obvious now that this is the right way to do it. And packed with features. Thank you, Geert.
Thanks so much! That's great praise!
Fantastic tool. A breakthrough in making MIDI monitoring accessible and easy. Another great app! Thanks so much for making it available to everyone.
Thanks so much!
Very impressive Geert, the graphs feature is a nice data visualisation.
@@makeperceive thank you, yeah that turned out very nicely! 😁
Started using ShowMidi @ beta 0.6 and it's fantastic. Much more useful than the serialized monitors I've used for decades. Thank you so much for this (and for my Linnstrument).
@@karmakarmakarma so glad it's useful for you, thank you!
What a wonderful tool. I didn't know that I had always waited for a solution like that.
Your work really inspires me to think out of the box, and to be willing to find new solutions instead of adjusting to malfunctioning ones.
Thanks a lot!
Thanks so much, that's great praise!
This is one of those "little" utilities that make a big difference. Thanks!
Thank you!
Been waiting for such app\gui\data‑structure for ages! I cannot code. This is gold!
Thank you, Geert!
You are welcome! Glad you like it!
Awesome news!
This tool helped me in analyzing and solve a problem I had with my midi keyboard.
@@GertBoers that's great, glad it helped you!
thank you! really useful for development of new devices or debugging or just getting your live set ready
@@TR-707 thanks so much!
what a great tool, so much better than midi monitor. thank you!
@@vj_seba thank you, glad you like it!
This is going to come in very handy for me. Thanks for your hard work!
Thank you!
@@gbevin you’re quite welcome. I’m a software engineer myself so I have an inkling of the effort you’ve put into this project 😉 I also just found out about MidiWrist Unleashed which also looks quite interesting…
Kudos to you!
An excellent and informative video Gert, I’ll share to Stickist 😃
@@GenePerry thanks so much! 🙏
doing the lords work! thank you Geert, especially for making it open source too!
Wow. Just wow. Thank you so much!

love it!
@@etfy4953 thank you!
Amazing.
@@DJeffvegas1 thank you!
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.
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.
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.
@@gbevin I was using Faderfox EC4 with mappings for Novation Summit. I will post screenshot / video on GitHub....
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?
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.
Thank you for such a great idea! Unfortunately ShowMidi shows no values, in standalone as well as in vst mode (Win10, Ableton Live 12). Any idea how I can make this work? Thanks in advance!
@@Clic-ac please report this to Ableton, I noticed the same thing but using the exact same VST in other hosts like Reaper or Bitwig works just fine, I suspect it's something with Live's support of midi effects
@@gbevin Thank you, I will! Any idea, why this is in standalone mode (Ablton off, Standalone VST (GForce SEM and Arturla KeyLab)? Thanks so much again for help here.
@Clic-ac oh I've never seen it happen in standalone, are you sure MIDI data is being received?
@@gbevin Thank you for getting back, I'd say yes, because I can play the vst with the keys, and I configured Midi in the vst.. Any idea? thanks for helpingh here!
@@Clic-ac have you contacted Ableton about it?
Will it display sysex when running as vst?
@@genmce likely not
Geert. Shut up and take my money
Woohoooo, I'm on my way, I'm making it!
So much larger than life. 😉
@@NicolaLarosa OMG I wasn't sure if someone would get it, but you did! You made my day!
This is just fantastic and so well thought out. I will use this a lot daily. Can't thank you enough. Do you play Elden Ring? it's the only game I play. I love experimenting with different builds!
Thank you! Yeah Elden Ring is my favorite game, about 450 hours in at this point and enjoying the DLC.
@@gbevin ha, I’m about that many hours in as well and loving the DLC!
