MidiTest: Test; Your MIDI Hardware
MidiTest is a small utility that will test the speed and functioning of a
MIDI hardware device.
It's use is quite simple. You need a MIDI device that has at least one input and
one output. Connect the output to the input using a standard MIDI cable. Start
MidiTest. Select the output and the input with the drop-down lists. Click the
button marked 'Test' and the testing begins.
The application will start transmitting MIDI messages through the output. If all
is well the data will be received again through the input. The application
measures the time it takes for the MIDI data to travel through the hardware
and presents this data in a nice overview. The data can then be saved to a
text file for future reference.
Send in your results so I can set up a reference database.
It is now possible to select the types of messages to participate in the test
Messages are now randomly generated
Fixed a problem with sysex testing under MME. Larger messages would always time out
It is now possible to set zero size for messages and sysex
Improved reporting of test results
Added ability to choose between using either DirectMusic or MME for MIDI testing.
DirectMusic and MME are two different ways to handle MIDI on the Windows platform.
Test report modified to reflect new options
Fixed a bug with enumeration of ports that could crash the application if there were
too many devices.
