Simple and Useful

Old review below: 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.

Highly Misleading

This app should be removed from the App Store - it's a complete rip-off. Says it's a MIDI recorder. It's actually a KEYBOARD ONLY midi tecorder. I attached my Akai MPD218 MIDI pad controller with the intention of recording a finger drum part only to discover the app does not support anything other than piano notes.

Great app, works just as intended!

I’ve been going through so many different tools to find a midi recorder that also adjusts the pre-defined BPM within the .mid file. I believe this is the only app that will do it if looking for a “pocket” recorder.

Just had to plug my piano directly to my phone through USB B > USB C. Works like a charm.

Exactly what I’ve been lookin for!

I’ve been down many YouTube rabbit holes looking for an app that would record midi from my keyboard and output midi to a midi device. No thrills, no frills, does exactly what is says. Thank you!
