Hello,
First of all, I’m not sure if it’s a good place to share this, but I will give it a try. I hope I won’t get banned for this…
I know about a single app that lets you play in-game instruments with MIDI controller keyboard, it’s written in C# and it’s really bugged. I spent like 1 hour trying to make it work but I failed. I wanted this feature really bad so I decided I will create my own app that does the same thing and I’d like to share it with everyone. So far it has no other features than reading default MIDI input device and translating keys pressed into keys in game for harp. It supports full 3 octaves. All you have to do is to have your MIDI controller set up as default MIDI device (it’s done by default in windows once you plug it in) and launch the app. It doesn’t matter whether you launch the app or the game first.
Here is the link to the repository (I wrote it in C++, builds in VS2017 community)
https://github.com/aethersis/Gw2Midi
And if you don’t want to bother with building it, you can just download the executable here:

Please let me know if you like it and if it works for you. I’m open for any constructive feedback and feature requests.
