## What is MIDI Messenger?

MIDI Messenger is an AUv3 MIDI plug-in that came to life as an answer to the lack of MIDI processors for iOS.

It allows creating an endless list of ‘messages’ that will be sent after being triggered by incoming MIDI or system events. MIDI messages can be typed in manually or contain some expression calculations allowing generative workflows.

Here's the list of possible triggers: On Load, CC, Note On, Note Off, MIDI/AU Host Transport Start/Stop/Continue, Pressure.

Here are possible message types: CC, Program/Bank Change, Note On, Note Off, Pressure, Pitch Wheel, Sysex, All Sounds Off (CC).

Messages have order, the first message to be triggered and sent is at the top of the list. The last one is at the bottom.

You can specify a delay time in milliseconds so the message is sent a bit later than the trigger-event was detected. You can discard incoming messages that triggered new messages, or pass them through. You can also reorder messages.

## Key features

- Create custom MIDI messages

### 5/5 — Worked great for me

*2023-06-20, version 1.0*

Waned an app to filter out and redirect my mod wheel to sustain for on the go hand controlled sustain. This app worked perfectly for me. Takes a minute to get used to the way it works but it’s pretty straight forward and does what ya need.

### 5/5 — Nice

*2023-04-22, version 1.0*

Works as advertised, very cool!

Have a great and productive week!

### 2.0 — 2023-06-24

Hello! Here's the new version with new features and fixes!

Main things:
— Now, you can use the value from a trigger in your messages. This allows you to re-route messages, duplicate them, or modify specific parameters while leaving others unchanged.
— You can now export all message rules as a file and easily import them back. This works between macOS and iOS as well, allowing you to load files saved on one platform in the other.

Other fixes and improvements:
— New trigger: Program Change
— Added passthrough option for Transport triggers
— Added AU Host Transport triggers
— Added 'Send' button to messages
— New events now appear at the top of the log
— Log got 'Clear' button
— The entire row in drop-down menus is now clickable
— When you open a long menu, it'll show you the previously selected value, not the first one
— UI is now responsive, so the message rows adapt better to various window sizes
