MidiPdfView is a MIDI-controlled PDF sheet music reader for Windows and macOS. Connect any MIDI footswitch and perform your whole set without touching your device.
One-time purchase · Windows & macOS · No subscription.
Assign any MIDI CC or Note message to next page, previous page, next score, and more. Your hands never leave your instrument.
Open every score for your service as tabs. Drag to reorder, tap to switch — your whole night's music is always one tap away.
Rotate your tablet and two pages appear side by side automatically. Portrait snaps back to single page. No settings to fiddle with.
Mark breath marks, dynamics, and cues with the freehand pen. Add text notes, erase, and save annotations permanently into the PDF.
Fit the whole page on screen in one tap, or fill the width only and scroll vertically — ideal for portrait reading on a tall tablet.
Works with any class-compliant USB MIDI device. MIDI Learn assigns your pedal's controls in seconds — no manual CC numbers needed.
Drag your sheet music files onto the window or click Open. Each score gets its own tab in whatever order you set.
Connect any USB MIDI footswitch. Open Settings, click Learn on any action, press the pedal. Mapped in under ten seconds.
Your eyes stay on the music. Your hands stay on your instrument. Your foot does the rest.

Yes. Draw freehand markings, add text notes, and erase with your finger or stylus. When you're done, "Save PDF" writes your annotations permanently into the PDF file so they survive a reopen and are visible in any PDF reader.
