Leave a Review Nocturne MIDI Recorder
  • Brilliant little app

    Nocturne is great; its tiny footprint allows it to be on all the time, quietly running in the background. Its lack of un-necessary complexity means you can hear your midi keyboard without having to create a session in more complex software such as Garageband or Logic. While you can save/share 'recordings', its great benefit to me is that my midi keyboard is always on and audible and I can test ideas without having to mess around opening and setting up software. Highly recommended.

  • It could be a useful app

    But it is glitching.
    The details: iOS 17.2 + Arius YDP 103 + wire

    Good:
    - The app found the device
    - The app’s UI is intuitively clear
    - The recorded file is possible to share/save outside the app
    - The app can record longer then 1 minute of playtime

    Not good:
    the app…
    - Records, but then plays with wrong temp (faster or slower)
    - Records, but skips parts of played notes
    - Records, but crashes when playing back
    - Doesn’t record (fixed with restarting the app)

    So I didn’t get any records I can use so far.

  • Easy and works great.

    See the review titled "Simple and Useful". It says everything I want to say. Also, I use Nocturn on both my Mac and iPhone, and it works great on both devices.
  • Simple and effective

    This tiny, amazing app does just what it says and is *exactly* what I was looking for when I found it—other offerings on full PCs weren't nearly as convenient as this.

    There's something to be said for being simple and powerful, and this app says it all.
  • Doesn't save a valid Midi file

    Unfortuantely this app doesn't seem to save
  • Simple and Useful

    It took me longer than expected to find something simple to record a MIDI from my keyboard (Garage band will record, but can't export a MIDI). While learning piano, I want to both hear and visualize a recording (to see timing). This does exactly that; everything else I could find was far too complex and overkill.

  • Quits immediately

    All the support seems to be for another of their apps, forscore. Not eligible for refund? Is this just scam? I’ve put too much time in already trying to get help. Beware
  • simple basic app...

    ... does what it is supposed to do, without much fuss or complexity. A note that rather than "save" your file you "share" it.
  • Awful - don’t waste your time

    Dismal interface and buggy. The share feature doesn’t work.
  • MIDI support is unreliable.

    Great idea, but without the promised external MIDI support it’s basically a very simple onscreen keyboard with exportable MIDI files. Not terrible, but also not what is advertised.

    Would also appreciate support for combining the MIDI files into one large file and/or allowing a pause in recording on the same track so that coming up with ideas doesn’t result in several different tracks.
