Nikolozi Meladze has released a free version of Easy MIDI.
Easy MIDI Free turns a Mac QWERTY keyboard into a MIDI keyboard controller. It sends MIDI notes messages to any soft synth or DAW such as GarageBand, Logic Pro, Ableton Live, Cubase, Nuendo, Pro Tools and Digital Performer.
This is useful to jot down musical ideas quickly while traveling, sitting in a coffee shop or even on the couch at home. The user can even control CoreMIDI iOS apps or hardware synth via MIDI interface.
Features:
- Send MIDI notes to any DAW or MIDI driver.
- Notes can be triggered using alphanumeric keys.
- Easily change keyboard octave with up/down arrow keys.
- Use left/right arrow keys to change starting note.
- Visual feedback eliminates the need to look down on a Mac keyboard.
- Sustain on/off can be triggered with a space bar.
- Vertical scroll changes note velocity.
- Mini View.
Price: Free.
Easy MIDI Free can be downloaded from the Mac App Store.
