Quick Question on MIDI monitoring

JiggyWig

I want to just monitor some MIDI input, on Mac I'd use the somewhat obviously named MIDImonitor App, what's the best equivalent on iOS?

TIA!

I'm using MIDI Wrench, which is pretty good. But it's likely going to get lost in the 32 bit app purge soon.

Midiflow can do the trick

Thanks. I'll take a look at those.

But it is pretty limited, for example it doesn't show the channel.

You can add filters in midiflow. For exemple, if you have 3 channels to monitor, you can add three times a virtual input, set the first ad restricted to 1, the second as restricted to 2 and the third as restricted to 3...and so on. At the end, you can see only the event that occurs per channel

Was using MIDI wrench, but recently I used the new MIDI Scope app, its free and gives me the info I need...much like MIDI Wrench!

Second this, and Midi Scope retains what's captured in background mode, and has all the filters for channels, message types etc.

MIDIscope is perfect, though I saw your post after I'd already forked out for MIDIflow. DOh!

MidiFlow has display options that include "nice" which shows the channel separately, if you have difficulty discerning the channel number in the hex mode display.
