MIDI Router ~ Anywhere To Anywhere

Posted by tom2tec on

Midi Router Client is an advanced, cross-platform tool designed to route and manipulate MIDI signals in real time. It allows users to create virtual MIDI ports, map MIDI events (e.g., CC to pitch wheel), monitor inputs, and build custom controls like program change dropdowns — all with minimal latency.

Features:

  • Route anywhere to anywhere.
  • Create virtual port.
  • Route from WebMidiJs client to server and back.
  • Route from server to server.
  • All routing in Real Time with no latency.
  • Route from one event type to another. (cc to pitch wheel)
  • Route to/from 14bit CC.
  • Monitor midi input.
  • Build Custom controls to send CC/Program Change.
  • Custom Program Change dropdown..
  • Transpose / Harmonize.
  • Create presets, controlled by any midi event.

LoopBe1 ~ Virtual MIDI Driver

Posted by tom2tec on

LoopBe1 is an internal MIDI device for transferring MIDI data between computer programs. Basically LoopBe1 is an ‘invisible cable’ connecting a MIDI out port of an application to any other application’s MIDI in port. All MIDI data sent to the program’s output is channelled to the receiving applications in realtime. You may connect up to eight applications to LoopBe’s in port and up to eight applications to the out port, all sending and receiving at the same time.

LoopBe1 is a native Windows™ WDM kernel mode driver, so expect the lowest possible latency. Programs do not need to link with special libraries, so LoopBe1 works with every MIDI or DirectMusic™ capable application.

SAR ~ Synchronous Audio Router

Posted by tom2tec on

Synchronous Audio Router lets you route audio from any Windows application through a DAW (digital audio workstation) application, giving you an immense amount of control over your system’s audio. You can apply sophisticated effects, routing and switching, and combine the audio streams from each individual application any way you want, producing any number of output mixes.

If your applications of choice doesn’t let you select an audio device, SAR has you covered: you can define per-application routing rules which will override the Windows default audio device settings. You can even use pattern matching to define rules for groups of applications.

It’s also fast. SAR operates inline with your existing ASIO driver, adding no additional buffer latency to your DAW, and uses WaveRT for direct low latency transport of audio between applications. This is in contrast to many other “virtual audio cable” type drivers which often require buffer sizes as large as 50-100ms to work reliably.

Balanced Versus Unbalanced Audio Interconnects

Posted by tom2tec on

Clearly, the available literature prescribes balanced interconnection as the absolute best way to interconnect audio equipment. The use of entirely balanced interconnection with both ends of the shield connected to chassis ground at the point of entry provides the best available performance.
