Thanks for your replies. I finally made it work on MIDIculous since it has the MIDI out. Now I can use loopMIDI to bridge MIDIculous and Pianoteq. All good now.

Hi,
I know Pianoteq already displays notes and chords, etc. already but ChordieApp is currently more versatile so I want to use both of them at the same time. The problem is, whichever first launched occupies the MIDI signal and the other can't receive the MIDI keyboard input anymore.
I installed a program called LoopMIDI and it is supposed to create a virtual MIDI looping bridge to solve this problem, but it needs the first launched app to output the MIDI signal with the bridge. However, I can't find any 'MIDI output' option on both Pianoteq and ChordieApp.
Any idea how I can make this MIDI routing work?

I do not know why, but it works for me. I use a KAWAI VPC1 - that has its own usb midi driver. And my NI Komplete Audi Interface brings its own driver as well. Checking the midi inputs used by chordie, both drivers are listed and I can check "use all midi drivers".

You need MIDI passthrough, which Pianoteq can't do. Unless ChordieApp can do MIDI passthrough your only other option is to use a DAW for this sort of things, unfortunately. I tried a few and disliked them all.
Reaper is well regarded, and has a free trial, so you can try and see if it does what you need and if you like it.
Good luck.
