Ratings and reviews

Works perfectly for the Novation Launchpad X, and helped me figure out some things for a macro system I was working on. Also, add S20 to the list of supported devices, because it seems to be working fine on mine. Honestly, the only way I could see this app being any better was if there was an option to see the raw hexadecimal and/or decimal of the message recieved.

Needed a way to check/confirm midi data being transmitted from my korg nano controller. This worked easily and immediately. Thanks to the developer(s).

Captures (logs) midi events. Unable to save events as a midi file. Only saves the time stamped log format. Works well for what it does.
