MIDI Monitor Changelog

What's new in MIDI Monitor 1.3.2

Sep 2, 2014
  • Fixed a bug: the spying MIDI driver would not work when an old 32-bit-only MIDI driver was also installed. (For instance, certain Roland and M-Audio MIDI drivers.)

New in MIDI Monitor 1.3.1 (Aug 21, 2014)

  • MIDI Monitor now auto-saves documents and automatically restores them on launch, like modern OS X apps do.
  • Fixed a bug causing "Untitled" documents to appear when they shouldn't have.
  • Don't warn when opening a document whose sources are not currently present. It's more annoying than helpful.
  • Show more details in the "data" line for sysex events. In "expert mode", show the raw bytes of the event. Allow viewing the detailed hex data for all kinds of events, not just sysex.
  • Modernized UI slightly: lists now fill the whole window.
  • Now requires Mac OS X 10.7 or later. If you're using an older system, use version 1.3.
  • Updated app signature so it launches without warning on Mac OS X 10.9.5.

New in MIDI Monitor 1.3 (Sep 4, 2012)

  • Fixed a bug: the "spying" driver wasn't being installed properly.
  • Added "expert mode" to display some messages more accurately (but more confusingly).
  • Added automatic updating via Sparkle.
  • Built for 32- and 64-bit. No more messages about the MIDI Server having to restart in 32-bit mode.
  • No longer works on PowerPC or 10.3 or 10.4, sorry. If necessary, get version 1.2.5, which does.
  • Picked a better font for the long data views.

New in MIDI Monitor 1.2.5 (Nov 11, 2011)

  • MIDI hardware interface with Mac OS X driver

New in MIDI Monitor 1.2.4 (Oct 12, 2009)

  • Fixed a bug introduced in 1.2.3: spying didn't work.

New in MIDI Monitor 1.2.3 (Sep 29, 2009)

  • Fixed a race condition in incoming MIDI processing, which could lead to a crash.
  • Updated the list of manufacturer IDs.

New in MIDI Monitor 1.2.2 (Aug 19, 2009)

  • Fixed a bug: in the sources list, some one-port MIDI interfaces did not have names.

New in MIDI Monitor 1.2.1 (Mar 30, 2009)

  • Fixed a bug: the "receiving sysex" spinner did not go away after short sysex messages were received.
  • Sysex messages from DSI devices are now shown as "Sequential / DSI" (since both Sequential and DSI use the same manufacturer ID).
  • New icon.

New in MIDI Monitor 1.2 (Sep 8, 2008)

  • MIDI events are now saved in documents.
  • Fixed an old and embarrassing bug with the disclosable Sources and Filters sections. They now work correctly when the window is nearly the size of the screen.
  • When new events are received, don't always scroll to the bottom, and show the events more quickly.
  • Fixed more cosmetic bugs: Source names would disappear when clicked, when running on Leopard. Selection highlight on the event list could get cut off. Disclosure button animation was flickery.
  • Simplified some threading code, which makes the app more stable, especially as MIDI devices are added and removed.
  • Updated the source code to work with Xcode 3.1.
  • Now requires OS X 10.3.9 or later. If you're still on 10.2, use the old version, 1.1.8.
