LoopBe30 is an internal MIDI routing software designed by Nerds.de that functions as an array of virtual “invisible cables” for Windows operating systems. It allows you to pass real-time MIDI data between different music applications on the same computer without using physical hardware cords. Key Features
Up to 30 Virtual Ports: Unlike its free, single-port counterpart (LoopBe1), LoopBe30 lets you scale up to 30 independent, bidirectional MIDI ports.
High Multi-Client Capacity: You can connect up to 8 applications to send data into a single port, and up to 8 applications to receive data from it simultaneously.
Near-Zero Latency: Built as a native Windows WDM kernel-mode driver, it bypasses user-space overhead to process MIDI data with virtually imperceptible delay.
Feedback Loop Detection: It features an automatic shortcut-detection system. If an app accidentally routes its output back into its own input, LoopBe30 mutes the port immediately to prevent a software crash.
Resource Optimization: Using the system tray monitor app, you can manually restrict the active port count (e.g., down to 2 or 5) so you don’t clutter your Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) or waste system memory. Common Use Cases
Musicians and audio engineers typically use LoopBe30 to connect separate pieces of standalone software. For example, you can route notation software like Sibelius directly into a DAW like Cubase or Ableton Live to trigger virtual instruments. It is also widely used to connect standalone MIDI sequencer utilities, algorithmic composition tools, and custom hardware setups (like an Arduino running a MIDI sketch) to a DAW. Compatibility and Pricing
Operating System: It fully supports both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows architecture (Windows 7 through Windows 11).
Licensing: A lifetime license is priced at $19.90 USD / 19,90 €. You can download a free trial from the Nerds.de Download Page, which functions completely but automatically resets every 60 minutes until you reboot.
