MIDI Thru
MIDI Thru is a utility for macOS that enables real-time MIDI data routing and pass-through between applications and hardware devices. It allows musicians and producers to send MIDI messages from one source to multiple destinations, effectively creating virtual MIDI routing chains. The app is typically used by music producers, live performers, and educators who need flexible MIDI signal management without the overhead of a full DAW.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find public information about a native Apple Silicon build of MIDI Thru, or confirmation that development is still active. Given that the app is a niche MIDI utility with limited online presence, your best course of action is to contact the developer (Meanterm) directly to ask whether a native Apple Silicon version exists or is planned. This is important because Rosetta 2, the compatibility layer that currently lets Intel-only apps run on Apple Silicon, will be removed when Apple releases macOS 28 in September 2028. If the developer indicates that MIDI Thru remains Intel-only and no update is planned, you will need to find an alternative before that deadline. Common alternatives for MIDI routing on modern macOS include built-in CoreMIDI tools, Logic Pro's environment, or Patchbay — all of which offer native Apple Silicon support.
