Virtual Ports ​

Virtual ports connect Neurode MIDI with compatible apps on the same device. Neurode MIDI creates two system ports automatically:

  • Neurode MIDI Virtual In is a Virtual Source. Other apps send MIDI to this port, and it appears as a source in Routing.
  • Neurode MIDI Virtual Out is a Virtual Destination. Neurode routes send MIDI to this port, and other apps receive from it.

Create another port ​

  1. Open Settings → Connectivity → Virtual Ports.
  2. Select Add Virtual Port (+).
  3. Enter a port name.
  4. Choose Virtual Source or Virtual Destination.
  5. Select Create.

The endpoint name shown by another app can vary with that app's MIDI selector. Avoid feedback loops: do not route an app back to itself unless that loop is intentional and controlled.

Test the connection ​

  1. Confirm that the endpoint appears in both apps.
  2. Create the route in Neurode MIDI.
  3. Send a few notes or controller changes.
  4. Check Status → System Activity, Signal Flow, or Tools → Statistics.
