I think there’s some compatibility issue with macOS Ventura and Easy MIDI’s Status Menu mode where Easy MIDI is no longer responding to the key presses. I will look into fixing it. In the meantime, if you are an Easy MIDI user using Ventura, you can switch to the Dock mode. To do that follow these steps: Press Command — , (Command-Comma will bring up the Easy MIDI settings). For the Application Type select Dock. Restart Easy MID and the keys should start responding. Also, for the hotkeys to work, i.e. to be able to bring Easy MIDI to the front with a global shortcut, you’ll need to do the following: Open macOS System Settings. Navigate to Privacy & Security. Select Accessibility. Add Easy MIDI under "Allow the applications below to control your computer". As part of this change, I'll add native support for the Apple Silicon and possibly support Dark Mode (user-requested feature). As a side note, like NFM, Easy MIDI features will eventually be merged into Mela. Looks like there's an issue with Sonoma where if the user switches to Status Menu mode they can no longer switch back to the Dock mode easily. Here are instructions to do with that issue: Restart your Mac, this is to kill the Easy MIDI process in case it’s still running. Launch the Terminal app. It can be found under Applications > Utilities. Run the following command in Terminal: defaults write com.nikolozi.Easy-MIDI "Is Not A Dock App" 0 Launch Easy MIDI and it should be run in Dock mode again.
