MIDI

  • Midi.com: http://www.midi.com
  • MIDI-Applikationen, die gleichzeitig auf demselben Computer laufen, können direkt MIDI-Daten über eine spezielle Hardwareemulation einer MIDI-Schnittstelle, die als Device-Treiber geladen wird, austauschen. Siehe hier z.B. die Freeware HUBI'S MIDI LOOPBACK DEVICE V2.5: http://www.hitsquad.com/
