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 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.
