This is the default, and the most useful setting (especially if you want to use the SysEx file in another application). However, some devices do not follow this rule.Īlways with EOX byte ($F7) The file will end with an EOX byte, even if the message didn't have one when it was received. SysEx messages should always end with an EOX byte (hexadecimal F7).

Other Save SysEx This option lets you control how SysEx messages are saved to files. ('Why do the timestamps say 0? Is something broken?') In expert mode, it will show '0'.

Normally, when MIDI Monitor sees a zero timestamp, it will substitute a timestamp of when it received the data, to avoid confusion. In expert mode, it will show 'Note On' Zero timestamp When a program sends MIDI, it can provide a timestamp to schedule when the MIDI data should be sent, or zero which means 'send it immediately'. Normally, MIDI Monitor shows 'Note Off', to avoid confusion. Note off events According to the MIDI specification, a Note On event with velocity 0 is to be interpreted as the same as a Note Off event. Data formatting Data is displayed as raw hexadecimal bytes, without any interpretation. Expert modeĬhanges the display of all events. 0 - 127 (Less common) Some MIDI devices number their programs starting with 0. 1 - 128 (Standard) Most MIDI devices number their programs starting with 1.

How to display program numbers in program change messages. One byte values range from $00 to $7F two byte values range from $0000 to $3FFF, with $2000 as the 'center' value. One byte values range from 0 to 127 signed two byte values range from -8192 to 8191. The method of displaying any other data in events. Hexadecimal number The controller number in base 16, from $00 to $7F. Decimal number The controller number in base 10, from 0 to 127. Some controllers come in pairs one controller conveys the 'coarse' value (or high byte) and the other conveys the 'fine' value (or low byte). Controllers without standard names are displayed as decimal numbers. For example, controller 72 means 'Release Time'. Standard name The name of this controller as given in the MIDI standard. The method of displaying the name or number of control events. Hexadecimal number The note number in base 16, from $00 to $7F. Decimal number The note number in base 10, from 0 to 127.

Middle C (note 60) is displayed as C4, and the full range is from C-1 to G9. Note (Middle C = C4) As above, but displayed an octave higher. Yamaha uses this convention for naming notes, as do some (most?) other manufacturers. Middle C (note 60) is displayed as C3, and the full range is from C-2 to G8. Note (Middle C = C3) The name of the note in musical notation. Note formatĬontrols how MIDI Monitor displays the musical note in note-on and note-off events. Nanoseconds The same as above, but with more digits displayed. The value is shown to three decimal places. Seconds The integer time divided by the number of ticks per second, as reported by AudioGetHostClockFrequency(). This number will always increase at the same rate while the machine is running however, one unit may represent different amounts of time on different machines, or different revisions of the operating system. This is an unsigned, 64-bit integer, which starts at 0 when the computer is started. Integer The time as returned by AudioGetCurrentHostTime() or UpTime(). Most people won't find this very useful, but programmers might. Host time Shows the timestamp in terms of the computer's internal timebase. Clock time Shows the timestamp in terms of normal human time, to the nearest 0.001 second.

This driver does not have any effect on other applications, and does nothing when MIDI Monitor is not using it.Ĭontrols how events' timestamps are displayed.

In order to do this, MIDI Monitor installs a MIDI driver in the Library/Audio/MIDI Drivers folder in your home folder. This happens outside of the system's normal MIDI processing, so the application sending the data does not know that it is being spied upon. Selecting a destination lets you 'spy' on the data that other apps send to that destination. Spy on output to destinations Each MIDI destination on your computer is listed, including normal MIDI output ports, and applications which act as destinations. Other applications on the computer may also appear in the list, if they are running and can act as MIDI sources.Īct as destination for other programs If you choose this, other applications will be able to send their output to this MIDI Monitor window, as though it was a MIDI output port. Sources come in three categories: MIDI sources These are ordinary MIDI sources, such as the input ports on your MIDI interface.
