MIDI Tools

MIDI Tools is a nifty application, providing (as its name implies) various MIDI-related tools:

Real-time MIDI input and output monitors.
Capturing, filtering and saving MIDI input messages.
Windows edition only: The creation of MIDI thru connections (e.g. from/to virtual MIDI I/O ports).
A virtual MIDI controller board, capable of receiving and sending control change messages.
A virtual MIDI keyboard (outputting note messages), controlled by the computer mouse. This includes a primitive arpeggiator.
A window from which you can send NRPN and RPN messages.
A window from which you can send MIDI Program Change messages, optionally prefixed by Bank Select MSB/LSB messages.
A window from which you can send MIDI System Exclusive/Common/Real-time messages.
A powerful System Exclusive message editor/uploader/downloader.
A MIDI data byte converter/calculator.
Four virtual Mackie Control displays.

Many of the hardware audio editors from Mountain Utilities also contain some or all of these tools, but MIDI Tools provides them without the hardware-specific hullabaloo of these editors.
Thus, MIDI Tools can be very useful for small tasks and troubleshooting.

MIDI Tools 2.1.0.1 for macOS

This version fixes the update checker (which had stopped working when the Mountain Utilities webhost ended support for TLS 1.0), at least for operating systems supporting TLS 1.1/1.2, i.e. OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) and later.
So on Mavericks or later, if you had disabled "Automatic check on program startup" in the "Check for update" dialog box, you can now re-enable it. And of course pressing the "Check now" button should work again too.
On OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) and earlier (which lack TLS 1.1/1.2 support) the update checker still doesn't work, so it's best to switch "Automatic check on program startup" off, although leaving it on will no longer prevent the application from starting up.

MIDI Tools 2.1.0 manual (update 1)

This is the manual for MIDI Tools 2.1.0.

Note: All the editions of MIDI Tools 2.1.0 listed below contain this manual too and will install it automatically, so you don't need to download it separately here, unless you wish to read it before running MIDI Tools or its installer. So if you're just updating from a previous version, you can safely skip downloading the manual separately: just download and install the update to MIDI Tools, and you'll be able to read the automatically installed manual anyway.

Tip: This manual also functions as a 'first-aid' manual for those Mountain Utilities audio hardware editors that don't come with "real" manuals themselves yet.

MIDI Tools 2.1.0 for Windows - Installer

Main new features of this version:

The installer automatically installs the edition of MIDI Tools matching the operating system: the 32-bit edition on 32-bit Windows, the 64-bit edition on 64-bit Windows. (Previously there was only a 32-bit edition, which was installed on 32- and 64-bit Windows alike.)
The MIDI Tools update mechanism allows you to specify in which update types you are interested: alpha (development) versions, (‘public’) beta versions, release candidates and release versions.

See section 2 of the manual for the full list of changes.
