MIDI Memories

Record MIDI and detect chords and scales

Add MIDI Memories at any point in a track’s MIDI effects chain to capture events. It’s like bouncing or freezing your MIDI effects!

Want to expand an arpeggio into individual notes? Easy. Want to use a plugin to trigger chords from single keys, then expand the chords into editable regions? MIDI Memories can do just that. It can also be used with Instant Vibes, to capture that lovely randomness and swing.

If you’ve used plugin automation, that will also be recorded. Just insert MIDI Memories after the plugins you’d like to record and press play.

MIDI Memories keeps the last five recordings, so it doesn’t matter if you bump play again after recording something you’d like to keep. Drag the recording icon into the arrange window and the region will appear. Or, drag it to your desktop to create a MIDI file.

Chord recogniser

Play a chord and MIDI Memories will tell you the chord’s name. MIDI Memories features a resizable plugin interface, so the chord’s name can be visible from across the room, if you’d like. Extensions and esoteric chords are supported.

Scale guesser

Hold some notes and MIDI Memories will list the scales and modes that match them. This lets you find pleasing harmonies first, then discover a scale or mode that fits, even if it’s something unusual like phrygian dominant or double harmonic major.
