Welcome to Midi Prompt

MidiPrompt was designed as a Midi Controlled Prompter to display text, html, pdf, images (gif, jpg or svg). It can also play media such as mid, mp3 or wave files, and it can even send MIDI commands that you specify; all using MIDI CC or PC commands from any midi controller to control what is displayed and when. It's really very simple to use, so let's get started.

Here's how to use MidiPrompt...

When you first start MidiPrompt, there are five main modules visible as tabs. You can select which module to view or modify by selecting from the tabs at the top of the main MidiPrompt window. The tabs are labeled left-to-right as follows: 

Display | Lyric | Text List Edit | File List Edit | Settings 

Note: After configuration, only three tabs are shown and vary by the mode. 

The folliowing links take yout to pages about each of the tabs in MidiPrompt:

Settings : Configure midi parameters and set display options 

File List Edit : List the lyric files to show on the Lyric tab here 

Text List Edit : List the text lines or file to show on the Display tab here 

Lyrics : The lyrics panel, displays files listed on the File List Edit tab 

Display : The display panel, displays text from the Text List Edit tab  

Closing the Program

When you exit the program by clicking the top right X box MidiPrompt writes away all your settings into an ini file in the directory where MidiPrompt is stored. It saves the Text List and Files list, the colours and font details, the position and the size of the window as well as the Settings (Midi channel etc).
