This is a very simple MIDI effect (can be inserted in the MIDI effects slot of Apple Logic Pro X) to visualize MIDI input activity on a keyboard, pitch and mod wheels.
I developed this for John Lehmkuhl to use in his YouTube videos, where it's useful to be able to see the actual keyboard input (often quite simple) that results in a particular sound (often complex due to intricate programming).
- Drag resize grip at bottom-right corner to resize the GUI. (GUI size is remembered and saved in DAW projects.)
- Use buttons at right to set the keyboard size (3-, 4-, 5-octave, or full 88-key piano) and also the number of CC indicators on the left.
- Right-click (or ctrl-click) any CC indicator to change which CC number it displays.
- Drag in any slider to generate pitch-bend or CC events
- Click on keyboard to play notes.
- Click just below keyboard to toggle MIDI sustain.
Requires JUCE 7.x, hence subject to the GNU GPL v3 license. Use the Projucer to generate the necessary projects, e.g. VST2 for Windows, Audio Unit for Mac.
If you can't or don't want to build these plug-ins from source, see Releases above. Note release versions feature a PlugInGuru logo on the left, which you can click to display "about" information. Click logo again to dismiss.
