LowFi Dojo Automaton is a creative MIDI automation AUv3 plugin that brings the fun back to MIDI recording and automation. Born from the need to simplify MIDI automation, it transforms the often complex tasks of MIDI recording and parameter control into an engaging, visual experience. Originally designed for AUM on iOS to provide essential MIDI recording capabilities, it also works seamlessly with Logic Pro on macOS and AudioBus 3 on iOS. **Note: This is an AUv3 MIDI effect plugin and does not function as a standalone app. While primarily developed for AUM and tested with Logic Pro, it also works great in Audiobus3 and Loopy Pro** Why Automaton?
