Midi Monitor by Snoize is a handy midi signal monitor application for OS X (both PPC and Intel). It shows the midi keys pressed, the channels used etc. Is there any similar software for OS9?
I've been trying to get my MIDI keyboard to communicate with my Quicksilver for quite some time now, with no success. I have the M-audio Audiophile 2946 interface and OMS set up, and on paper everything should work. I have not yet installed proper DAW software, but have been toying with NI Soundforum, which works from the keyboard of my Mac but not from my midi keyboard (a Roland PC-200 MKII). I also have an Edirol UM-1S midi interface that works well on OS X and Garageband, but I cannot get that working either on the quicksilver even with the proper drivers downloaded from this forum. I might be missing something, but I'm not sure what. Anyhow, the keyboard works on OS X, so it's either my midi interface or my software setup. OMS recognizes the Audiophile and UM-1 as interfaces and I can set the Roland as keyboard, but I have not yet found a way to test whether midi signals really come through.
The Midi Monitor works well on OS X, but all equivalents I've found for OS 9 refer to COM ports (printer or modem) which are not present in the G4, and are generally a decade older than OS9 or G4. I'm planning to install some DAW software, but at first I'd like to get my midi working.
