Drumstick MIDI Monitor (a.k.a. kmidimon)

Drumstick MIDI Monitor logs MIDI events coming from MIDI external ports or applications via the ALSA sequencer, and from SMF (Standard MIDI files) or WRK (Cakewalk/Sonar) files. It is especially useful if you want to debug MIDI software or your MIDI setup. It features a nice graphical user interface, customizable event filters and sequencer parameters, support for MIDI and ALSA messages, and saving the recorded event list to a SMF or text file.

For brief building instructions, see INSTALL.md.

Getting the development sources

Compiling and hacking the Git sources is a bit different compared to the distribution tarball. You can get the latest sources either using a sourceforge user account, or the anonymous user (with read only rights). The Git client documentation for SourceForge users is available at: https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/documentation/Git/
