Midi Tools
is a complete set of 10 individual MIDI
utility programs to aid, enhance, and improve your music making. They are:
Drum Quest, Music
Base, Midi Mapper, MidiXer Pro,
Midi Pad, Midi Thru, Midi Viewer, Time Pad,
Midi Analyzer, and Quick Send.
Drum Quest |
Drum Quest is a specialty
sequencer which is specifically designed to
quickly and easily create drum patterns or any other type of pattern based music. It
includes a wide array of editing and processing options and uses MIDI Files as its native
file format so it can easily be used with virtually any sequencer.
Drum Quest is much more than an optimized pattern creator. It
features a full complement of Standard MIDI file editing tools including point and click
note editing, real time recording, MIDI file processing and all of the other features
you'd expect to find in a MIDI sequencer. It even automatically imports and exports all
components of a standard MIDI file, even elements that it does not use itself. This way
nothing is lost when moving data between your sequencer and Drum Quest.

MusicBase |
MusicBase is more than just a database
program for organizing, searching, and displaying information about your MIDI and WAVE
files. MusicBase also features MIDI File "global
editing". Now its easy to make changes to as many MIDI files as you like with no
additional work!
- Auto Search finds all MID or WAV files, even across networks
- Display critical statistics on the file
- Create and store sophisticated queries to quickly find files
- Assign up to 16 keywords to each file for searching or
sorting
For MIDI Files only:
- Display critical information on the contents of the MIDI
file
- Display file contents by MIDI Channel, by Track, or timing
data
- Includes display of the range and quantity of each type of
event
- Globally modify: timebase, copyright, tempo, or MIDI ports
- Graphically create and store sophisticated file editing
macros.

MidiMapper |
MidiMapper is a powerful graphic real-time
MIDI processing program. Use it to turn your MIDI keyboard into the ultimate MIDI
controller, map any controller message into any other, or process your performances in
dozens of different ways - all in real time!
The MidiMapper works by connecting any
MIDI INput to any MIDI OUTput.. You can then place any number of processors between the
input and output to modify the MIDI data in almost any way you want. With this powerful
tool you can:
- Create harmonizations or octave doubling
- Process note velocities 7 different ways
- Remap MIDI channels
- Remap any continuous MIDI message to any other continuous
MIDI message
- Process controller levels 6 different ways including scaling
and limiting
- Filter out any specific range of MIDI events
- Invert notes
- Create delays
- Transpose notes

MidiXer Pro |
MidiXer Pro is the utility to use for
organizing and editing your MIDIX format System Exclusive files. MIDIX format is the most
common format for making patches available on the web and BBSs. This program gives you
most features to ensure that you make the most of your instruments. MidiXer Pro not only provides storage and editing for MIDIX
files. It also provides a wide range of options not found anywhere else.
- Automatically maintains a listing of your MIDIX files
- Automatically searches all of your hard drives to create a
list of available MidiX files
- Assign a MIDI port and comment to each MIDIX file, no other
program does this
- Displays: file name, location, # of SysX messages, # of
bytes, manufacturer, file date, and approximate transmit time for each file in the list
- Create groups of MIDIX files for automated one button
multi-instrument transmissions. Completely reconfigure your system easily
- Extract MIDI data from standard MIDI files
- Split or join MIDIX files

MidiPad |
MidiPad is a full featured MIDI control
pad. With it you can place sliders, knobs, toggles, buttons, and number controls on the
control surface to create MIDI device control panels. This program is ideal for creating
virtual mixers, instrument panels, or anything else you might need.
Each control can easily be set up to output various types
of continuous controller output as well as other standard MIDI messages. Alternately,
there is a complete macro language that allows you to create virtually any MIDI output you
want. For example, generate System Exclusive output to edit synthesizers or create complex
mathematical relationships between the sliders for proportional editing, mixing control,
or panning.

MidiThru |
MidiThru gives your computer global MIDI
THRU capabilities. Ideal for use with multiple programs, the MIDI events received at each
MIDI IN port can be sent to any number of selected MIDI OUT ports. Basic filtering is
available for each MIDI IN port. |
|
MidiViewer |
MidiViewer is a powerful
Real time Graphic
MIDI event monitor that provides visually precise information about the activity on your
MIDI system. MidiViewer is ideal for real time monitoring of the MIDI
activity on one or more MIDI IN ports. The window shows all types of MIDI activity
including: notes, note velocity level, polyphonic aftertouch, controllers, patch changes,
aftertouch, pitch wheel, real time MIDI messages, and SysX messages.
MidiViewer also provides MIDI filtering options so you can
choose to display only certain types of data.

|
TimePad |
TimePad uses three different
"panes" for performing music specific time calculations and conversions.
The first pane allows you to enter a tempo and TimePad
displays the length of time for each type of note in milliseconds. The second pane
performs conversions. Enter a time in either bars/beats/ticks, real time (seconds), or
SMPTE time (hours, minutes, seconds, frames) and TimePad displays the equivalent time in
the other two formats. The third pane allows you to properly add or subtract SMPTE times. |
|
MidiAnalyzer |
MidiAnalyzer is a comprehensive MIDI event monitor program. The
program displays all types of incoming MIDI data in hexadecimal format to show exactly
what messages are arriving at the MIDI IN port.
MidiAnalyzer then analyzes and interprets the data and
displays information about the received MIDI command(s). While not useful for real time
work, Midi Analyzer excels for those who want to view the incoming raw MIDI data in step
mode. This is the best way to view each individual message that arrives at a MIDI port if
you are trying to identify a problem or if you are simply working on learning the
individual MIDI commands and how they work.
Along with the standard file and editing functions,
MidiAnalyzer allows you to start and stop the reception of MIDI and provides filtering
capabilities so you can view only particular types of MIDI data. |

QuickSend |
QuickSend is a Midi
Quest add-in utility which can transmit
Sound Quest SysX files and MIDIX format files directly from disk to the appropriate
instrument. In any version of Windows, simply drag the file you want and drop it in QuickSend.
No opening large programs to transmit a file.
In Windows XP/2000/NT/95/98, QuickSend is even more
powerful. QuickSend attaches to the file's popup menu so you right click
on the file, choose QuickSend and the file is automatically send to the
instrument. |
