MIDI vs CuePulse

MIDIProbe is a pocket MIDI utility for iPhone and iPad that helps you discover, test, and troubleshoot MIDI devices (e.g., controllers, synths, mixers). Pick which endpoints to send to or listen to, fire off the exact MIDI commands you need, and watch a live, timestamped log to verify every message. • Discover USB, Bluetooth, and RTP network MIDI devices, and see detailed info like IDs, serial numbers, and transport type before selecting send/receive targets. - Send MIDI fast with interactive cards: - Notes, Control Change (CC), Program Change, Aftertouch, Pitch Bend; - System Common (Song Position Pointer, Song Select, Tune Request); - Real-Time (Start/Stop/Continue, Clock, Active Sensing, Reset); • Monitor inbound MIDI with a live log or grouped-by-command view, with filters for command types, clear controls, and timestamps. Typical use cases: • Reverse-engineer mixer control quickly:  You have an X32 mixer and want to use a floorboard to mute/unmute channels. Connect both to MIDIProbe, discover the right endpoints, and watch which channel/CC/value combinations actually toggle mutes—then verify your floorboard sends the exact same messages before you risk it live. • Map a foot controller to a multi-FX unit:  You want to configure a floorboard to switch presets/settings on your multi-effects processor. Use MIDIProbe to identify which Program Changes or CCs trigger the functions you need, then confirm the outgoing messages match your intended mapping. • Confirm keyboard controller channel routing:  Check whether your keyboard is transmitting on the correct MIDI channel (or accidentally sending Omni), and verify splits/layers are hitting the channels your synth or app expects. • Validate DAW controller templates:  Debug pad controller mappings for Ableton/Logic/Cubase—see exactly which notes/CCs each pad/knob/fader is sending, catch duplicated CC numbers, and confirm bank switching. • Troubleshoot “why doesn’t it respond?” fast:  If your synth/module isn’t reacting, use MIDIProbe to confirm whether it’s receiving anything at all, whether the messages are on the wrong channel, or whether you’re sending the wrong command type. • Verify pitch bend and high-resolution CCs:  Check pitch bend ranges and whether devices send 14-bit (MSB/LSB) pairs correctly for smooth parameter changes. • Build and test custom hardware/software:  If you’re developing MIDI controller firmware or a MIDI iOS/macOS app, use MIDIProbe as your “known good” sender/receiver to test parsing, edge cases, and message timing. If you’re into this kind of thing, MIDIProbe is for you.

■ Key Features 【Mode Design & Safety Optimized for Live Environments】 Features a "Performance Mode" designed for live shows and a "Simple Mode" for instant use as a standalone metronome. Switching between these modes ensures optimal operability in any situation. The "Edit Screen" for modifying patches utilizes an independent layout, completely eliminating the risk of accidental operations during a performance. 【Unrivaled Setlist & Bank Management】 Organize tempo and time signature settings for each song or section as individual "Patches" in a list. Save up to 300 patches in each bank, ranging from A to Z. Display only the necessary range, ensuring excellent operability and visibility even with massive setlists. Supports "Chain Playback" across multiple banks and "Loop Playback." Instantly share data with support for importing and exporting JSON and Setlist (.slist) files. 【Precise Tempo Changes & Total Control Over Time Signatures】 Smoothly transition to a target BPM over a specified number of "Bars + Beats." Reproduce intricate tempo changes (Accel/Rit) by setting individual curves and linking multiple patches together. Freely configure complex accent patterns using an intuitive matrix UI. Fully supports beat subdivisions (Sub-beats). 【Visual Feedback for Any Environment】 Offers visual tempo indication via LED animation, in addition to the click sound. Never lose the tempo, even in a dark orchestra pit, with a screen flash function (adjustable brightness) synchronized to the beat. "Daylight Mode" ensures visibility even on bright outdoor stages. "Upside Down Mode" provides flexibility for convenient cable routing. 【External Control & Shortcut Integration】 Fully compatible with Bluetooth foot pedals and external keyboards. Assign up to 21 different actions to shortcut keys, including play/stop, patch navigation, and page turning. Ensures reliable control at your feet, even when your hands are full while playing or conducting. 【Pro-Level Customization】 Visually supports intuitive groove feels with the "Swing Curve" setting, which adjusts the pendulum's trajectory. The "Tap Tempo" function features adjustable sensitivity for accurate BPM detection. Customizable control button assignments on the main screen. Individually adjust the volume levels for accents, normal beats, and sub-beats. Includes an auto-lock prevention (keep-awake) feature and supports forced audio playback even when the device is in silent mode. CuePulse is the most reliable timekeeper for musicians who refuse to compromise.
