Welcome to the dlive-midi-tools wiki!

This tool is made by and for Allen & Heath dLive fans. I enjoy prepping shows offline, and Director software is fantastic — but a channel list editor would be a great addition. With that in mind, I started studying the MIDI/TCP documentation for dLive systems and discovered the possibility of reading and writing channel names, colors, and phantom power settings. Especially in multi-console setups — for example FOH, Monitor, Streaming, or Recording configurations — it would be incredibly useful to have a tool that lets you maintain a single list and sync dLive channels from one central source. That's how the idea for this project was born.
