I have wanted an app to do this exact thing for years! I can’t wait to play around with it. I always have creative bursts while I’m just playing my midi controller. The problem is when I am trying to use the usual midi apps to capture my free flow. It really takes me out of the zone when I try to set everything up to get the envelopes lined up right and so on. It will really be fun to just loop and record over my previous play through. I used to record on my pc with a Creative Live sound card and a program called “what-U-hear” that came with the sound card. I missed that setup for so long, it was super easy to use. But it lacked any easy editing tools for MIDI streams. Anyway, I am very grateful for you introducing me to your app! So thank you and I hope you have a great day sir! 😃👍🏻👍🏻
Fantastic! MIDI Tape Recorder is a staple of my workflow now. It does exactly what it says and works great. Thanks so much for making this available to the community and for taking the time to show how to use it.
We really needed something like this, where you have a looper interface that specializes in being a "dumb" recorder as well as a modular, triggerable modulation player. Very well thought out.
THX !!! WoW this looks like a real game changer and work around for my workflow and progress ! I hope I can get this to work like the Roli Noise app (& not just their instruments in AUM) and have a way to edit my performance to capture in AUM. Appreciate what you have gifted us with !!
I’m using it on AUM on iPad to record a nord drum 2. Seems very precise. SO enjoyable to use. It is like yer in my head. Please redesign all software I use.
Thank you for the video. I’m trying to follow along but cannot get tape recorder to actually record. I get a little green status light on the right hand side of the track but not the left. Any idea what I’m doing wrong? Thanks.
I have been using the app with my Roland 2000 which allows you to assign channels to different instruments etc and then send them out... .. So I have recorded Midi on 4 sep channels and then played them back from IPAD into my Iconnectivity hub using WIDI BLE dongle .. then sending the midi to various Synths... It all works really well. Question would it be possible to increase the number of channels in the app... so that I can utilise more between 1 and 16 as seperate outputs... especially channel 10... the std midi drum channel... What is really great is that I can now decide to change the actual instrument type with out having to replay a piece.. the Roland has many pianos etc.. so I can just try a different one.. Great software been wanting this for a very long time.. I sent Donation let me know if you got it
This is sooooo great! Thank you! (what about adding a little little rubber tool as single minimalistic editing possibility. Combined with undo (already there) (and some zooming but we wont be too demanding😅) that would be more than perfect…
Thanks so much for this video! Midi Tape Recorder is a very useful tool! I would love it to have more looping features in the future maybe like independent loop sizes per channel? Great work man! Cheers from Mexico,
Great work buddy! You have a great concept. A live performance without editing has been a goal of mine. Actually precise playing and lil nuances and slides. Cheers!
Hi Geert Love your Midi Tape Recorder very much! Any chance you will add hands free operation of basic controls eg Choose track, Arm for recording, Delete recording on track - or delete all? Those are the functions I’d love to be able to remote control possibly from a midi foot controller. Thank you for this (already) indispensable looper app! Cheers
Hi Måns, I'm also replying to you in email, but yes this is possible already because all operations are available as AUv3 parameters. You can use the host's (like AUM), MIDI control over AUv3 parameters to set up a foot controller. Including some screenshots in my email.

@@gbevin Great :-) Thank you very much! I was using your app in Michael Tyson’s Loopy Pro app, that is probably why I didn’t detect those options. I will return to AUM and exploit the options for setting up hardware controls. Thanks again :-)
Nice plugin ! But i could not find how to overdub (record some midi, loop play, and record other midi over it in the same track. It always delete the previous recording).
Yes that is by design. MIDI is not like audio where notes and expression just stacks. If they're played on the same channels then everything gets really weird, so the overdub works like old fashion tape based track overdub, the other tracks still continue to play.
@@gbevin Thank you Geert, I did as you suggested and armed Logic and MTR and when I pushed Send on the Alesis Data Disk it recorded the sequence into a single Logic track with all the instruments combined as one big blob. Even though I had Midi Tape Recorder armed nothing was recorded into MTR. I made sure that MTR was armed. Is MTR supposed to record the same midi info at the same time as Logic? Will it separate midi instruments into separate channels? Thanks. I hear great things about your program.
@@gbevin what information is lost? I just read the MIDI specification you wrote and I was curious to know what MIDI information will be lost because it will not be recorded by Logic Pro. I'm trying to write a JavaScript MPE in Logic Pro's Scriper. And it's working. But now I'm curious about what information generated by the controller and received by the MPE instruments will be lost when recorded by Logic Pro.
@@ToniMazzotti exact timing of all the message, the CC messages are usually handled in a different less precise timing domain than the note on/off message, causing them to sometimes come out of order, which can create problems with MPE
@@gbevin Do you believe that this limitation of DAWs is temporary and at some point in the future this will be corrected? And I have a second question. Is MPE a MIDI 1.0-only technology? In other words, I want to know if MIDI 2.0 will replace the MPE. Or update it.
@@ToniMazzotti I can't speak for what DAWs will eventually do, the few I spoke to said it was unlikely to get changed any time soon. MPE is MIDI 1.0, I hope that in a decade or so MIDI 2 could replace it, but it's still a long way to get to that
I cannot get MTR to display the "MPE" on a track. Yes, I enabled MPE in Animoog Z, but that does not change nothing. Do I need to enable something else in MTR?
Make sure the MIDI connection is made and that the record enable state is set for the track, then send the MCM. This is detailed in the MPE support section of the manual.
@@gbevin I have a track in record mode and it's get the MIDI (lights flash) and MPE is enabled in the Animoog Z settings. I can record, but no "MPE" text is diplayed. I tried in AUM.
OMFG I've actually been writing something exactly like this as standalone software, controlling all its functions with MIDI CC messages, and having to deal with all the inconsistencies of Mac OS' built-in MIDI routing. Time to toss that piece of crash-prone bodged-together C code in the trash!

Thanks for the kind word, really appreciate it!
Really nice video and I appreciate your calm teaching voice and demeanor! Very professional!
Thanks so much!
Dear Geert Bevin, left an idea for future app enhancement on the AudioBus forum. Hope it makes sense.
This app rocks! I can finally record expressive takes! I could only capture expressiveness recording audio before. My now favorite app for 2021!!!
Yay, glad you like it! Thanks for the praise, truly appreciate it!

Ah! Thank you! I'm old to MIDI, but only recently acquired an MPE device (an Orba). I hadn't tried recording it yet. Have a happy new year, everyone!
Happy new year! Let me know how it goes with your Orba!
I have and Orba too and it works great.
@@edzielinski awesome, thanks for letting me know!
great tool for transferring patterns & clips to/from hardware sequencers & grooveboxes.

So glad to hear that!
Just downloaded the app last night. I look forward into incorporating it into my setup!
Finding this extremely useful! Thanks a lot Geert
amazing! finally got around to watching this
Thanks so much!
Really nice, can we make overdub on a track? Could be nice to adjust the recorded séquences without completly erase it...

Thanks for the donation, I truly appreciate it! You can use multiple instances of the app if you need more than 4 channels.
Keeping it simple is a great idea! If you want more tracks, it's an AU, just put another instance in! Thanks!
Totally, thanks for liking it and pointing out that multiple instances are totally possible!
This is sooooo great! Thank you! (what about adding a little little rubber tool as single minimalistic editing possibility. Combined with undo (already there) (and some zooming but we wont be too demanding😅) that would be more than perfect…

Hi Geert, How can I use this to record midi sequences from a Alesis Data Disk into Logic? What is the routing? Thanks.
Just put it as a MIDI FX on a Logic track and record arm the track as well as MIDI Tape Recorder

Bit of Click bait Geert espescially when you dont mention its ISO Only sorry should make that clearer in the description
Sorry for making a free and open source app tutorial a bit of click bait by advertising that it's a tutorial for the app, it's iOS and macOS btw.
Oh and it says in the first sentence of the description AUv3 plug-in ... that's pretty clear as far as platforms are concerned.
Entitled much? Geert builds it, gives it away for nothing and even records a tutorial for it and your first thought is to moan!
