Yes, that one works just fine. In the program, you choose which MIDI Input Port to monitor, and then it displays every MIDI message received, showing which Channel it's on, and all the specifics.
See the display for "Note On" and "Note Off" as you use a Keyboard or the Pedal Board. See other messages when you press a Piston (if your Installation has Pistons). Then try the Swell Pedal, which (when moving) should give a full stream of Messages, for a given Channel and a given Message Type and all varying smoothly in their final number (ideally ranging from zero to 127, or from 127 back to zero).
Good Luck!
