CTR2-MIDI with SmartSDR for Windows?

Has anyone written a utility to allow the CTR2-MIDI to work with SmartSDR for Windows?

That would be a fantastic option if it was available!

    It would require SmartSDR to have a MIDI interface to TCP/IP I believe.

    The CRT2-MICRO works with windows.

    The CRT2-Midi requires a midi interface to sSDR which the windows version does not have.

    Both the MICRO and the Midi perform the same functions giving knob and button controls as well as a key/keyer interface.

    Understood, and thanks.

    I was hoping that someone may have written a small utility that would translate the API to MIDI for use with the CTR2-MIDI from Windows. Perhaps someday . . .

    I wonder if the alternate firmware Lynn has been cooking up for the CTR2-Dial may be of use? It communicates directly with the FlexRadio API over WiFi.

    Admittedly not exactly what you were looking for, but it is OS independent.

    That looks interesting. I will look into the CTR2-Dial sometime in the future.

    Admittedly, I've yet to try the Flex firmware (I'm making the CTR2-Dials in the UK/EU) but its certainly on my list, once I get a chance!

    Just by means of an update on this as there was some discussion about this on the CTR2 groups.io page.

    Looks like people have had success using an app called CoyoteMIDI which can sit as a translation layer between SmartSDR on windows and the CTR2-Dial (without the CTR2-Flex firmware) or CTR2-MIDI.

    Lynn has added details in Appendix F of the CTR2-Dial and CTR2-MIDI manuals.
