App(s) for managing a MIDI library?
I'm interested to learn what people are using for managing MIDI files?
These are my requirements:
- Ability to import MIDI files from Dropbox, Files, or Audioshare
- Cleanly organizes MIDI files, ideally in folders.
- Easy playback of MIDI files for auditioning/reviewing different patterns
- Ability to send MIDI to other apps (ideally as AU)
It seems like a lot of people are talking about Xequence 2 and it seems that it may work for what I'm trying to do, but I haven't used it yet and am curious to hear if there are other options? I'm also curious about how it helps organize the MIDI files it creates or imports.
Here's some more info on the use case, if it helps. Say I'm working in BM3, for instance, and already have my drums laid down but want to play around with a couple of different melodies that I've previously recorded to see if any of them fit well. I have several folders for different instruments and styles of music saved in Audioshare/Dropbox/Files and would like to be able to select one file from a list/folder, send that MIDI to a BM3 instrument bank, then have the ability to quickly swap out the previous MIDI file for a different one when I inevitably dislike the results, ideally only with a click or two. I find that I'll often audition several files in a few minute period and my current workflow of importing the MIDI into BM3 and laying it on the timeline is inefficent.
Thanks in advance for the nudge.

Audioshare (except the last one as an AU). I use Xequence to send the MIDI to other apps (live), or I directly send the MIDI to a DAW (e.g Garageband)
To audition the tracks, I put Audioshare in slide over view on my iPad. Then if I like what I hear, I send it to my app of choice (Garageband).
Xequence 2 is mainly to record MIDI as I play live. I used to organize my MIDI there, but once I figured out Audioshare could manage MIDI, I started using Xequence for live performances (or to send MIDI to apps like Gadget 2)
Do you like that better than Dropbox, @Samflash3?
Yeah. Plus, I can always send to Dropbox from Audioshare. I don't believe Dropbox can play MIDI.
Hmmmm, I believe you're right about the no midi.
I built my archives in Dropbox (including tons of midi files I have been importing to GarageBand).
Will have to try using Audioshare over the weekend...
Thanks!
Xequence 2 has folders so midi files can be organised easily.
No worries. It isn't perfect but it is excellent (see my previous post for tips)
Since I already own AudioShare, this sounds like the best alternative — considering Xequence 2 is $13.99.
Yeah, Audioshare is an amazing app. I made a list of 4 apps to get (which most people already have). You could find some awesome tricks in this video which some people don't really know.
