I was recently hired to add a new feature to my midi-relay software that allows you to capture MIDI data coming on any MIDI port and send that data back to Bitfocus Companion where you can then store it as a variable or even use the MIDI data as a satellite surface to control buttons directly.
Here’s a video walkthrough:
This should enable a lot of fun things with MIDI and automation!
You can download the software from my Github page: https://github.com/josephdadams/midi-relay/releases/tag/v3.2.0
It’s free so go check it out. If the things I create are helpful to you, a donation to my family is always appreciated: https://techministry.blog/about/
