A sequencer which records MPE?
Is there a sequencer on ios which can record MPE accurately at the moment? Thanks.
Comments
Cubasis maybe?
Probably the worst one for recording MIDI performances because of resolution. No idea about MPE at all though.
Damn, we only have the audio recording available on ios at the moment for MPE?
Cubasis supports recording of MPE data in midi
Audio Evolution Mobile Studio is a DAW and not a sequencer but
there were some interactions about MPE with the developer of Audio Evolution Mobile @dwrae and @Matt_Fletcher_2000 that showed his apps MIDI behavior worked for most things for MPE data input.

Most older MIDI Apps accepted up to 16 channels being recorded on a single channel due to General MIDI data patterns where a track might get assigned to a General MIDI model.
I'm not sure if the extra critical details have been added on not.
Worth checking out to record MPEand cut 'n paste the data.
Stagelight says it can do MPE but I haven’t tried it. Does anyone know the midi resolution of Stagelight? I’d imagine it’s probably better than Cubasis as Cubasis is about as bad as it gets.
GarageBand.
BM3 records all kinds of extra automations when I play my Linnstrument. I guess it's MPE data?
If you want to record an unquantised performance and keep that performance intact, then the MIDI resolution in Cubasis might frustrate you, especially if you have a very well-honed sense of timing.
I will check garageband out thanks. I guess we will have to be a little patient. I would like to be able to edit some MPE midi accurately. Maybe next gen sequencers?
I will also look at Audio Evolution.
In GarageBand you will only be able to edit the main notes, not the whole MPE data. It's OK for fixing timing errors etc but I don't know of any iOS DAW or sequencer that lets you edit all the MPE data.
It’s fine for composing on the piano roll or using sequencer apps, but won’t capture the minutia of nuance in a performance. If it’s going to be quantised then it’s probably ok, but for a real instrumental performance that’s unacceptable.
.
Yeah we need a sequencer which can get data at a much higher resolution, I agree, maybe use some sort of bezier curves to write a function f(x) which translates the movements, just like the auria automation but with no edges.
.
Wasn’t @Lars & Steinberg saying they’d improve this? Seems like a couple of years ago by now?
BPM is BEATS not bars per minute.
PPQN essentially means the number of 'note slots' between quarter notes. A note cannot reside in-between 'note slots', but must sit inside a slot. Higher PPQN means there are more 'note slots' to more accurately capture your live performance.
But it's not as simple as that, since some software is sloppier than others. Plus people accustomed to using pattern-based sequencers with quantization on record may think that a higher resolution/PPQN sequencer is sloppier since they are accustomed to quantization on record or a lower resolution, like a drum machine.
Double the tempo to double the PPQN. But play at 'half-tempo'.
@tja: At 60 BPM, 1 quarter note takes one second not 0.25 seconds (BPM is beats per minute; in 4/4 1 quarter note is 1beat). At 120 BPM , a quarter note duration is 0.5 seconds not 0.125.
You calculated from bars per minute rather than beats per minute. So the calcs are off by a factor of four.
Proper MPE recording of each channel exactly how it was played? The answer is no. Doesn‘t exist in iOS.
Even on desktop not all major DAWs can do this.
Photon should be able to do this - its an au, records all 16 channels (so incorporates mpe) at once - every midi message except sysex (atm).
I don't have an mpe device to test with, and I can't play fast anymore, but kb-1 sends midi notes on consecutive channels.
It will be available before xmas.
Noise is free on ios so you can test is out if you want.
ta
yay!
What is photon exactly? Can't find anything about it in google, apart from the light particle of course. Thanks.
It a AUv3 that records and loops midi, it gonna be amazing for hosts like AUM.

Cool, thanks.
