UniMIDI

Summary

Features

• Currently Linux, JRuby, Windows and Cygwin are supported. OSX is in progress

• Both input and output to and from multiple devices concurrently

• Agnostically handle different MIDI and SysEx Message types

Requirements

Platform

• JRuby: midi-jruby

A couple of notes about JRuby only:
