About

Having trouble with your MIDI controller or want to learn how it works?

MIDI Aid to the Rescue!

Get the insights you need about your MIDI device, get MIDI Aid.

MIDI Aid receives messages from external MIDI devices and displays them in real-time in an easy to understand, human readable form.

It automatically detects any changes of your MIDI subsystem, e.g. when plugging in a new device, and will immediately start displaying its messages.

Bluetooth MIDI devices are supported as well. As soon as a connection is made within the app, messages can be received.

For feature requests and bug reports please reach out to me at any time and leave a comment on the Support Page.
