Midi-Editor-iPhone-iPad

MIDI Editor turns your iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch into a music sketchpad. Quickly and easily compose melodies, chord progressions and even drum patterns. It works with your favourite synths and music apps that support MIDI input. Once you are done, export the MIDI clip to other apps.

**NOTE this would be the perfect inexpensive midi player/editor if it had a separate midi sync option or supported audiobus. It imports MIDI files quick and easy. I wrote the dev today with that suggestion. Fingers crossed.

What’s New in Version 1.5
• Import MIDI files from the other apps via Open in… *
• Triplets grid support added.
• It’s now possible to create notes in edit mode via a pop-up menu.
• Edit mode is a default mode now.
• Bug fixes

* If a MIDI file consists of multiple tracks they will be imported as separate clips. At the moment maximum imported MIDI clip length is 32 bars.

Midi-Editor-Screen

• Three simple note editing modes: pencil, edit and velocity.
• Add and remove notes with taps.
• Precisely edit a note’s position and length on the timeline by zooming in to its exact location.
• Select and edit multiple notes at the same time.
• Cut, Copy, Paste, Select All and Delete supported.
• Velocity Mode: Select notes and drag your finger vertically to adjust their velocities.
• Transpose entire clip by +/-24 semitones.
• Undo/Redo edits.
• Adjust grid’s vertical and horizontal zooms independently.
• Import MIDI files from the other apps via Open in… *
• MIDI clips sync via iCloud.
• Export the MIDI files to other apps such as Dropbox, AudioShare, Cubasis and Mail.
• Change which app the MIDI Editor controls by selecting a MIDI Output.
• Background Audio Mode: MIDI clip continues looping in the background while you tweak synth’s parameters.
• Adjustable Tempo and MIDI Clip length.

Note that the app itself does not produce any sound. It sends MIDI note messages to Core MIDI compatible apps.

* If a MIDI file consists of multiple tracks they will be imported as separate clips. At the moment maximum imported MIDI clip length is 32 bars.

You might know me from my royalty free loop packs and sound design. Some of the apps that contain my sounds are Synth One, EG Segments, Hammerhead, Retronyms AudioCopy, Audio Evolution Mobile, LP-5, iPRO.DJSAMPLER, Looptastic. My work is published by Roland, Antares, Magix, Soundtrack Loops, Sample Logic, Acoustica, Loopmasters and many more. Subscribe to our RSS feed below to get updated when new apps are posted.
