Kimidi 1.3.3

This release is almost the same as 1.3.2 but it should work under newer macOS-Versions up to 14.2 (I only testet this). I noticed that tapping key events did not work anymore so I switched to a different approach using CGEventTaps instead using the NSEvent mechanism.

It will produce midi when the programs "Live" , "Logic Pro" and "MIDI Monitor" is in the foreground. In 1.3.2 only "Live" was enabled. Let me know if the addition is a problem for you, but for me it was helpful.

Notes:
Remove any old entries in the Privacy. & Security/Accessibility Section of System Preferences. The app will ask for permissions. Allow it. After you have granted permissions, quit and reopen the app. Then it should work. Note that this is an intel App, because if it was Apple-Silicon it would not work. It's such a pain in the ass. I spent so many hours not being sure what yApple really wants from a developer like me who does not pay the annual fee to create a notarised app. I understand that grabbing key events is a security issue, but if he user gives permission then it should not make a difference if it's an intel or an apple silicon build. Apparently it does. I guess the app will break again in future.

Kimidi 1.3.2

A build of my fork of wiffbi/Kimidi the macOS companion app for "Selected Track Control
for Ableton Live" (http://stc.wiffbi.com). Since 1.3.0 it finally runs on Catalina, and apparently on Big Sur even on Apple Silicon Macs.

Note that I do not have an Apple Developer ID (it costs 99$ a year, and I do not earn any money from the things I create) therefore you'll have to right click and choose "Open" to bypass the Gatekeeper, which will warn you that the developer cannot be verified. Please move it into your /Applications folder first. Apparently the aforementioned procedure requires this (at least on Big Sur).

Upon first start you’ll be asked to allow the app to use accessibility features. This is indeed necessary in order to allow the app to receive key strokes from Ableton Live. If the app has not permission - it will not work and not receive keystrokes, so please check that the app is listed in System Preferences/Security & Privacy Tab Privacy section Accessibility. Note: if you had a previous version of Kimidi installed, remove it from that list and add it again.

This release is the same as 1.3.0 but the included PYMIDI Framework does not include any code signature anymore which might have caused problems before.

Kimidi 1.3.0 for Catalina

A build of my fork of wiffbi/Kimidi the macOS companion app for "Selected Track Control
for Ableton Live" (http://stc.wiffbi.com). Note that I do not have an Apple Developer ID (it costs 99$ a year, and I do not earn any money from the things I create) therefore you'll have to right click and choose "Open" to bypass the Gatekeeper.

Update: 16/11/2020 This build contains the PYMIDI Framework with a code signature not suitable for distribution, which might cause problems for you. In Release 1.3.2 no code signatures will be included anymore.
