MIDI Tape Recorder for iPhone

MIDI Tape Recorder: Accurate and Expressive MIDI Recording

MIDI Tape Recorder is an open source Audio Unit v3 plugin that offers a unique approach to MIDI recording. Unlike most DAWs that adjust the timing of MIDI messages for editing purposes, MIDI Tape Recorder captures and plays back MIDI messages with the same precision as audio recordings. This means that every nuance of your performance is accurately reproduced, without any changes in timing or order.

With MIDI Tape Recorder, you won't find MIDI note editing, quantization, or individual CC tweaking. Instead, the focus is on capturing and playing back expressive performances with MPE controllers and MPE MIDI plugins. The controls are designed to be simple and intuitive, reminiscent of a traditional four-track audio recorder, allowing you to easily record, play back, and loop your MIDI performance.

It's important to note that MIDI Tape Recorder does not produce any sound on its own and requires an AUv3 host to function. However, it offers a range of features to enhance your MIDI recording experience, including four independent tracks, sample accurate recording and playback, multi-level undo and redo, overdub recording, punch in and punch out recording, MIDI file import and export, and more.

Overall, MIDI Tape Recorder is a powerful tool for musicians and producers who want to capture their MIDI performances with utmost accuracy and expressiveness. Its straightforward interface and focus on preserving the integrity of your performance make it a valuable addition to any music production setup.
