What to do if MidiPipe won't start

MidiPipe is an unsigned app, so macOS Gatekeeper will prevent it from launching. How to override Gatekeeper is explained here.


Use

Click on a tool in the "Tools" list (left side) to see it's parameters. "Drag&Drop" or "Double Click" a tool in the "Tools" list in order to put it in the pipe (right side). Tools in the pipe can be reordered via "Drag&Drop". MIDI messages "flow" from top to bottom through the pipe. A pipe can have several inputs and outputs. A message arriving at an output will be copied to the output and then continues "flowing" through the pipe (if there are additional tools after the output). In order to edit parameters of several tools at once, it is possible to open a panel for each tool by double clicking it in the pipe list.
