Thanks Stephen,

But what I want is a *different thing:*

I know that is possible read a MIDI file as a text, but I want see the MIDI
messages in *real time* when I play a MIDI channel in a DAW ou
Sibelius/Finale...

It is important to me *to understand how those messages will be sent to my
VSTi plugin.*
Another advantage: if I see the MIDI messages in real time, I will discover
which symbols in music notation are become MIDI messages more quickly.

*Question:*
Anyone have any idea how can I see the *MIDI messages played in* *real time
from a DAW or from Sibelius?*

Thanks again,
Nyck

My System: Mac OSX 10.10.5 (but I have Windows and Linux computers too)
