Go Deeper

Edit Mode allows for advanced editing of hotkey translations, offering manual control over the exact input and output messages such as which device they are received from, whether they are to be translated into keystrokes, mouse clicks, midi messages, app exclusivity, and more

MIDI Device Support

CoyoteMIDI will dynamically update the list of available MIDI devices recognised by your system, allowing you to choose which devices to use for hotkeys, and which ones to ignore

MIDI Sketch Book

Thanks to CoyoteMIDI’s in-built event buffer, you can retro-actively record MIDI performances and ideas without the need for a DAW. Enable “Live Audio” to hear what you’re playing with real piano samples.

You can mark your favorites, or save as an external MIDI file via drag-and-drop
