MIDI Keyboard Not Working in Standalone/Only Works in Plugin

Issue: MIDI input icon is greyed out in the standalone version.

MIDI input does not work in the standalone version of Sample Manager.


 

Explanation: MIDI input is only supported in the plugin version. This is intentional.


 

Reason: The standalone app is designed for browsing and tagging, not for DAW-style playback or MIDI control.


 

Solution: - Load the plugin version inside your DAW. - Route MIDI through your DAW to trigger playback.
