Fantastic Midi Bridge

This works flawlessly as a MIDI Bridge with no internal routing required compared to AUM. Can’t believe I didn’t know about Streambyter until last night.
Definitely a 10 star rating app.

Great, if a little impenetrable - UPDATE

Obtained this to integrate with AudioBus, which it seems to do fine. The documentation may assume you already have some familiarity with this type of processing, but the examples help a lot. I was able to filter out mod wheel and expression controllers that I didn’t want sent to some instruments, and limit the range of notes sent to others.

Update April 2024 - I still think this is a great problem-solver. I used it for interfacing a keyboard which sends too many CCs to external gear, and I could block some messages and transform others to what I wanted. The example presets contain all of the techniques I needed (with some adaptation).

Amazing

If you want to do something with midi, streambyter will get you there. The language is conciseand insanely powerful. Nic has vision to ensure the language does what you need it to.

Also... its free!?!?

Not just great fun, but...

...indispensable.
Especially if one likes a little haphazard musical generation.
6.8mb of adulterated MIDI streams!

Free MIDI looper!!

After an exhaustive search for a decent quantising MIDI looper, I and completely by chance, discovered that Streambyter has one already built in, and it’s utterly brilliant. 5 stars. Just like that.
