Input Ports

The In Ports tab is where you configure how MIDI inputs are processed and routed.

Overview

Only ports that are currently connected will be shown. The In Ports tab has three main functions:

  1. Port Settings — Filter message types, configure MIDI clock, enable 14-bit translation
  2. Monitoring — Inspect incoming MIDI messages in real-time
  3. Routing — Create or configure routes for incoming data

Note: All settings are preset-specific. Different presets can have different configurations for the same port.


  • 📊 Port Settings — Configure message filtering and value translation
  • 🔍 Monitoring — Real-time MIDI inspection and debugging

Routing Options

You can set up routing in two ways:

A simple, guided tool that helps you create routing setups without needing to dive into technical details. Perfect for learning.

Best for:

  • First-time setups
  • Simple A-to-B routing
  • Quick testing

Routes (Advanced)

Full control over routing configurations. Build custom filter chains, transformations, and complex workflows.

Best for:

  • Custom transformations
  • Multi-stage processing
  • Scheduling and advanced features

How they work together: EasyConfig automatically generates a full Route behind the scenes. After creating an EasyConfig, inspect the generated Route to understand advanced concepts.


Getting Started

  1. Select an input port from the list
  2. (Optional) Adjust Port Settings for filtering/translation
  3. (Optional) Use Monitoring to verify data arrival
  4. Create a route using EasyConfig or Routes
  5. Test with Monitoring
