## What is MIDI Recorder?

Capture MIDI after you play, turn chord ideas into editable Takes, and export clean files to your DAW.

MIDI Recorder: Chord Pads is a focused songwriting and music production tool for iPhone and iPad. Play the built-in chord pads or connect a USB or Bluetooth MIDI keyboard. The app keeps your recent foreground MIDI performance ready, so you can rewind and save the take you meant to keep.

PLAY FIRST, CAPTURE LATER
• Trigger built-in chord pads or play an external MIDI controller
• Rewind recent MIDI without pressing Record first
• Select the range, tempo, and time signature before creating a Take
• Keep a local library of captured and imported Takes

EDIT WITHOUT LOSING THE ORIGINAL
• Preserve the raw MIDI snapshot
• Repair incomplete note events and trim leading silence
• Quantize timing at adjustable strength and grid values
• Preserve chord strums when cleaning timing
• Review, remove, and restore chord events
• Import compatible .mid and .midi files for further work

EXPORT MIDI FOR YOUR DAW
• Export unlimited single-track Standard MIDI Files for free
• Create a Type 1 MIDI file with conductor and music tracks
• Split a chord performance into Full Chords, Bass, and Top Voice
• Create separate MIDI stem files for flexible DAW import
• Save exported MIDI to the Files app
• Follow built-in guides for common DAW import workflows

ADVANCED EXPORT CONTROL
• Choose root or lowest-note bass behavior
• Preserve, bake, or remove sustain
• Assign track names and MIDI channels
• Shift octaves and align the timeline to bar one
• Include or remove MIDI metadata
• Validate generated MIDI files before saving

FREE TO START
Chord pads, MIDI capture, Takes, editing, MIDI import, and unlimited single-track export stay free. One Type 1 compatibility test and one Stem Set compatibility test are included for the same Take. A one-time Lifetime purchase unlocks unlimited advanced exports.

No subscription. No account required. MIDI note and controller data is processed on your device. This app records MIDI data, not microphone audio.
