Your project got me thinking - here's one idea: Windows should get MIDI 2.0 support soon, incl. non-blocking MIDI reading if I understood correctly. That should make it possible to create a small background application that records all incoming MIDI from all (or chosen) connected MIDI devices. It would work very much like your recorder and could share the same mobile app?
This I would be interested in. Since it's a software only solution, it could be cheaper and lower entry barrier.
- coolius 2y agoI actually coded that as a macos toolbar app. If anyone's interested, I could share the code to GitHub.
- ErnieDobbs 2y agoI'd be really interested. I had the same idea a few years ago, but never got it functional.
- cesaref 2y agoI'm not sure why you need midi 2.0 to achieve this? Recording midi on windows is totally trivial, and for this sort of application, only capturing the notes and relevant CCs (e.g. pedals) is all you need.
- gsck 2y agoTheyre specifically looking to record all incoming MIDI streams, which isn't possible without preventing other applications from using those MIDI devices. Only one program can listen/send to a midi device at a time
- Fannon 2y agoYes, it's not really MIDI 2.0 related, but with the update they will also add multi-client support for MIDI 1.0, so I can record and still use the MIDI input as input to a virtual instrument.
