MIDI Channels:
Version 1.0
About:
MIDI Logger can be used to keep track of messages being sent via a MIDI cable to your computer. MIDI Channels can be filtered out using the toggle buttons above the logger to help analyze incoming messages.
This was more or less an experiment to familiarize myself with the Web MIDI API so I can begin building more useful MIDI tools for web.
How to use:
- Connect your Yamaha QY100 (or any MIDI device) to your computer. This can be done with a MIDI to USB connection.
- If your device is recognized you will see the message “MIDI Access obtained.” in the logger.
- If using “Pattern Mode” on your QY100, navigate to the MIDI Utility screen and ensure MIDI CONTROL is set to In/Out or Out, and PATT OUT is set to 1~8 or 9~16.
What MIDI data can be logged?
You can use this tool to log:
- Transport Messages (Stop and Start)
- MIDI CC
- Notes
At some point I would like to add the ability to log SysEx messages too, however I was unable to get this feature working. I think it is due to my current setup. My QY100 is connected to my Minilogue, which is connected to my computer via USB. I think the Minilogue is intercepting the SysEx messages and not passing them along to my computer, so I’m waiting on a direct connection cable to hopefully resolve this so I can add SysEx logging functionality.
Compatibility:
- Limited browser compatibility. Web MIDI cannot be used in Safari.
