It creates a pair of virtual CoreMIDI ports that any DAW, controller, or instrument can see, and forwards MIDI traffic to and from a UDP socket on your local network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use it to send MIDI between two Macs, between a Mac and an iPad, or between a Mac and any custom hardware or software that speaks plain MIDI over UDP \u2014 no extra drivers, no extra hardware, no RTP-MIDI session setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">KEY FEATURES<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Two virtual CoreMIDI ports<br>\u2013 &#8220;MIDI\u2192UDP Bridge&#8221; \u2014 route MIDI from your DAW out to the network<br>\u2013 &#8220;UDP\u2192MIDI Bridge&#8221; \u2014 incoming UDP datagrams appear as MIDI in any app<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bidirectional, low-latency UDP transport<br>\u2013 Configurable send host and port<br>\u2013 Configurable listen port<br>\u2013 Raw MIDI 1.0 byte format \u2014 simple to interop with<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Built for macOS<br>\u2013 Live packet counters and human-readable activity log (Note On\/Off, CC, Pitch Bend, Clock, SysEx, etc.)<br>\u2013 Local IPv4 address shown in Settings so remote peers know where to send<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Zero configuration to start<br>\u2013 Defaults to your Mac&#8217;s primary IP on send port 51230 and listen port 51231<br>\u2013 Settings persist between launches; changes apply on the fly<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WHO IT&#8217;S FOR<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Musicians, producers, lighting designers, MIDI hobbyists, and developers who want a no-fuss way to move MIDI between machines without RTP-MIDI sessions, network MIDI services, or extra cables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">HOW IT WORKS<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The app exposes virtual CoreMIDI endpoints the moment it launches. Pick &#8220;MIDI\u2192UDP Bridge&#8221; as a MIDI output in your DAW and every message you send is forwarded as a UDP datagram to the host you configure. Pick &#8220;UDP\u2192MIDI Bridge&#8221; as a MIDI input and any datagrams arriving on the listen port are emitted as MIDI to your DAW or instrument.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is plain MIDI over UDP \u2014 not RTP-MIDI. Pair it with another copy of myMIDI Bridge on the receiving Mac, or with any peer (custom script, microcontroller, OSC-to-MIDI tool, etc.) that speaks the same simple format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mickeydesigns.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Screenshot-2026-06-09-at-12.28.17-PM.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" data-id=\"371\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mickeydesigns.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Screenshot-2026-06-09-at-12.28.17-PM-1024x640.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-371\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mickeydesigns.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Screenshot-2026-06-09-at-12.28.17-PM-1024x640.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.mickeydesigns.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Screenshot-2026-06-09-at-12.28.17-PM-300x188.png 300w, https:\/\/www.mickeydesigns.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Screenshot-2026-06-09-at-12.28.17-PM-768x480.png 768w, https:\/\/www.mickeydesigns.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Screenshot-2026-06-09-at-12.28.17-PM-1536x960.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.mickeydesigns.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Screenshot-2026-06-09-at-12.28.17-PM-2048x1280.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mickeydesigns.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Screenshot-2026-06-09-at-12.28.38-PM.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" data-id=\"372\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mickeydesigns.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Screenshot-2026-06-09-at-12.28.38-PM-1024x640.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-372\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mickeydesigns.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Screenshot-2026-06-09-at-12.28.38-PM-1024x640.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.mickeydesigns.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Screenshot-2026-06-09-at-12.28.38-PM-300x188.png 300w, https:\/\/www.mickeydesigns.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Screenshot-2026-06-09-at-12.28.38-PM-768x480.png 768w, https:\/\/www.mickeydesigns.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Screenshot-2026-06-09-at-12.28.38-PM-1536x960.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.mickeydesigns.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Screenshot-2026-06-09-at-12.28.38-PM-2048x1280.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mickeydesigns.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Screenshot-2026-06-09-at-12.31.15-PM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" data-id=\"370\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mickeydesigns.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Screenshot-2026-06-09-at-12.31.15-PM-1024x640.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-370\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mickeydesigns.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Screenshot-2026-06-09-at-12.31.15-PM-1024x640.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.mickeydesigns.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Screenshot-2026-06-09-at-12.31.15-PM-300x188.png 300w, https:\/\/www.mickeydesigns.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Screenshot-2026-06-09-at-12.31.15-PM-768x480.png 768w, https:\/\/www.mickeydesigns.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Screenshot-2026-06-09-at-12.31.15-PM-1536x960.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.mickeydesigns.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Screenshot-2026-06-09-at-12.31.15-PM-2048x1280.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>myMIDI Bridge myMIDI Bridge turns your Mac into a MIDI-over-UDP gateway.
