I decided to give some love recently to midi-relay since person after person asked me to make this an easier-to-run app rather than setting up a nodejs runtime.
When I originally created midi-relay, I designed it to run on every OS, especially the Raspberry Pi platform. Thousands of people use it all over the world for all kinds of stuff. Probably because it’s free. 🙂
This software is designed to accept a JSON object via its API and then turn that object into a MIDI command and send it out a local MIDI port. It allows for remote control of a lot of systems by sending the command over a simple network protocol.
Now it’s even easier to use.
Some new features include:
- a new socket.io API for bi-directional communication
- a virtual MIDI port, for loopback uses
- an upgraded Bitfocus Companion v3 module
- Disabling remote control, if needed
So if you’re a midi-relay user and you want an easy way to run this on your Mac or Windows desktop, go check out the latest release!
If using my software makes your life easier, please consider supporting my family.
Thanks!

Hello! Is it possible to change the middle C value for the MIDI commands being sent? I just started experimenting with this software, and am outputting a MIDI Note C3 from the Bitfocus Companion module. However, when it is received by the remote device through MIDI relay, it is coming up as a Note of C2. I’m assuming my issue lies with the middle C setting inside MIDI relay not matching the remote device?

It’s an open source program. So go for it. I have linked to the source code several times. You can change it either at the Companion module side or the midi-relay side.
Or just send C4.

OK. Thanks. Wasn’t sure if there was an option somewhere I was missing in the GUI.
