MIDI-OX for Windows

Overview and purpose

MIDI-OX is a flexible MIDI utility for Windows that combines diagnostic tools with data-management features. It’s built to help musicians, technicians, and developers inspect, manipulate, and archive MIDI communications between devices and software.

Live monitoring and routing capabilities

• View live incoming MIDI messages in real time and see precise data details.
• Route streams directly to a MIDI output driver or through the system MIDI Mapper.
• Apply filters and remap messages on the fly to modify streams before forwarding.

Data logging and file export

MIDI-OX can capture MIDI traffic to a log and save those captures as Standard MIDI Files (SMF), enabling playback in most sequencers and DAWs. This makes it useful for troubleshooting, documenting performances, or exporting MIDI data for further editing.

Input methods and control options

• Generate MIDI events using the computer keyboard when hardware controllers are unavailable.
• Use the integrated control panel for on-screen manipulation of controllers and messages.

Recommended alternative

If you need another option, consider SHAREit (free) as an alternative utility for transferring and managing data across systems.
