On Windows

On Windows the setup requires two free Apps: MIDIberry and loopMIDI.

First make sure to create a virtual MIDI port with loopMIDI, we will use it to route the Ball's MIDI signal.

Create a new one, give it an appropriate name (e.g. ODD Ball port).

Next, we need to connect to the device using MIDIberry. Once the ball is connected as an input, select the loopMIDI port you created as the output.

Now when you select the loopMIDI port as an input in any software, you will received MIDI message from ODD Ball.

If you have any questions or are having issue with the setup, contact us.
