MIDI Settings

Configure how Stage Traxx sends and receives MIDI messages, including routing, synchronization, and event-triggered commands.

Routing

Virtual MIDI Ports

Virtual ports allow communication between different apps on the same device. When enabled, Stage Traxx creates a virtual MIDI input and output port that appears in other apps for sending and receiving MIDI commands.

Tip

If other apps receive the same command twice, they may be providing their own virtual ports. Disable virtual ports here, or exclude that port in MIDI Output Ports.

MIDI Output Ports

Controls which MIDI ports receive output from Stage Traxx. By default, Stage Traxx sends MIDI to all recognized ports. Use this setting to exclude specific ports from receiving MIDI commands.

MIDI File Output Port

MIDI commands from a MIDI file can only be sent to a single port. Select the destination port here. This setting applies to all songs.

Synchronization

Sync Mode

Stage Traxx can send synchronization signals during playback to keep external devices or software in time. MIDI Timecode (MTC) sends absolute time position, while MIDI Clock sends tempo-based pulses.

  • None: Sync is disabled.
  • MTC 25FPS: MIDI Timecode at 25 frames per second.
  • MTC 30FPS: MIDI Timecode at 30 frames per second.
  • MIDI Clock: Sends MIDI clock pulses synced to the song tempo.

Send MIDI

Configure global MIDI commands that are sent automatically when certain events occur. Enter the commands directly using the MIDI command syntax — do not include the [midi: ...] tag wrapper. You can chain multiple commands by separating them with a comma (e.g., PC5@1,CC7.100@1).

Tip

Each field includes a Learn button. Tap it to enter learn mode, then send a MIDI command from your external device. Stage Traxx captures the first command received and uses it as the value for that field.

Load

Sent when a song is loaded into the player.

Play

Sent when playback starts.

Stop

Sent when the user stops playback.

Playback Ends

Sent whenever playback ends, either manually or when a song finishes. This is not sent when crossfading between songs.
