Feature request: Allow monitoring of virtual MIDI signals #16

The current version (0.7.0) allows monitoring of the MIDI inputs. It may be advantageous to allow monitoring of other points in the MIDI chain, e.g.

MIDI Input>>A>>Processor>>B>>MIDI Output

It would be good to be able to monitor at points 'A' & 'B' (and ideally also at MIDI Output. This is invaluable when tracing issues with MIDI signal within the host. It may benefit from being configurable so that you are not inundated with sources but can enable internal sources as required.

This may be challenging due to the different MIDI / audio subsystems used in different (or even the same) systems / platforms, e.g. Linux may be using ALSA, JACK, Pipewire, etc. for MIDI signal routing.

This is not planned. There are plugin versions to use in hosts and DAWs, in order to be able to insert into any location of the graph. The standalone version only looks at MIDI input devices.
