Like ctrlr (http://ctrlr.org/), which is open-source and cross-platform. ctrlr can be a bit daunting at first, since its primary purpose is to create VST panels for hardware synths and expose their MIDI controls as automatable parameters to VST hosts. But you can just insert it into your MIDI track and open its MIDI log to see what exactly goes into the plugin. I'm not sure whether Sibelius or Finale can handle a pure MIDI plugin like ctrlr, though. But the easiest solution probably is, as Stephen suggested, to see whether Sibelius can output MIDI to a MIDI device and monitor the output with a program like MidiMonitor (http://www.snoize.com/MIDIMonitor/). Another useful utility is the MIDI Patchbay (http://notahat.com/midi_patchbay/). Also set up a few virtual MIDI devices (look for the IAC devices in your Mac's Audio and MIDI setup). Together these will give you roughly the same facilities as qjackctl on Linux or MidiOx on Windows. I find these indispensable when working with MIDI on the Mac. In any case, you really need to familiarize yourself with MIDI first. :) I recommend reading through Jeff Glatt's MIDI pages mirrored at http://www.blitter.com/~russtopia/MIDI/~jglatt/. -- Dr. Albert Gr"af Computer Music Research Group, JGU Mainz, Germany Email: [email protected] WWW: https://plus.google.com/+AlbertGraef
