Home / MIDI Loupe
Free MIDI monitor
Watch MIDI from several devices at once. Every message shows its source, destination and a readable name, and the log can be saved or exported as CSV.
MIDI Loupe is free on the Mac App Store. Version 2.0.0 is also a direct download for macOS and Linux.
MIDI Loupe 2.0.0 is a complete rewrite with a new MIDI engine, log saving and CSV export, a sender, routing and a virtual keyboard — now also for Linux.
