Major update – MidiAlert now included in LivePrompter
I gave LivePrompter a new buddy to play with: MidiAlert is a little utility that can display pop-up message boxes triggered by MIDI sysex commands.

For this purpose, there are two new tags to use in your songs and one setting for your .INI files: {picture:picture_filename.ext} or {p:picture_filename.ext} Use this to include a picture file (usual...
