Saving the song playing right now by hand is free for the first three · Export MIDI — save a Record to MIDI result as a MIDI file, ready to drop into your DAW ■ About accuracy Measured against 13 tracks with known answers: tempo was right on 13, key on 12. That is a small sample, so treat it as a guide. Chord detection is well below that and is a reference aid only — it goes wrong most often on ballads with dense harmony. Check it yourself with the free 60 seconds before you decide. Record to MIDI is a reference aid too. In one test — 14 bars of a straight 8-beat drum groove, recorded at a live venue with an iPhone on the music stand — it got the kick and snare right in 13 of 14 bars and caught 43 of 56 hi-hat hits. Recording and viewing the result are free, so try it on your own playing first. ■ No internet needed All analysis runs on your device. No account, no server, no ads. Audio from the microphone never leaves your device. The only recording kept is the last one you make yourself in Record to MIDI, and it stays on your device too. ■ Made for · Sound engineers who need a song's tempo fast, on site · Mixing engineers who need delay and reverb times that match the BPM · Performers who change tempo song by song through a set · Drummers practising triplets and polyrhythms
