This utility allows you to work with MIDI control change messages from your controller (sliders and knobs), and associate unconventional rules with them. Game controllers supported by jInput are also available as input sources, and every button and analog input is remapped to a MIDI CC. This program is built with a focus on control change messages, however it is a full functional MIDI Router as well when using the "Port Mappings" feature.
**UPDATE 3/05/2022**
I've recently updated the documentation a bit, trying to make usage a bit more clear.
On the left hand side of the interface you will see a list labeled "MIDI Devices" this will show all detected MIDI Hardware and Game Controllers (as detected by jInput).
In the main part of the interface you will see 4 tabs, "Midi Controls", "Control Change Rules", "Port Mappings", "Logger A"..
![]() |
Midi Controls This tab will display a list of all the Control Change inputs you are working with, if you are unsure of the mapping of your controlers knobs and inputs, select "Create Control on MIDI input" under the options menu. Once this option is selected any input from the controller will create a Control entry in the list. |
![]() |
Control Change Rules Actions to be performed when certain conditions are met, see "creating a rule" below |
![]() |
Port Mappings This allows you to create virtual mappings between MIDI ports, think of it like a patchbay. You can even use this to connect a game controller directly to a MIDI output (assuming you dont want to modify the messages) |
![]() |
Logger A This is one of two logger output panels for displaying messages or debugging your rules. |
"Rules" are a way to trigger an action under certain types of MIDI input. For instance if you would like to trigger a sound, run a script or call an API when the mod wheel is moved or any knobs are adjusted. In order to create a rule right-click or double click on the control listed in the "MIDI Controls" tab, then click "create rule"
Once you've set all the parameters for your rule. Just click "Create Rule" you can go back and edit a rule at any time just by clicking on it (rules are listed at the bottom of the interface)
