AUV3 app to capture the midi / musical score?
So I have a midi creator app like SnakeBud, is there and AU3V then can capture the midi into music notation? Or one that can record the midi and save to file for me to pull into some music notation app (iPad or Mac)?
Imagine multiple midi channels in AUM and to be able to generate a score for real musicians to play?
Thanks community !

'Real' musicians?
You mean to say twiddling eurorack modules doesn't count?
That feels like a stake through the heart.
There are a few apps which will read in MIDI and convert to MusicXML, two that come to mind are Notion and StaffPad. How successful this would be depends on how quantised the music is, both with regards to where notes start in a bar and how long the notes are. Music from a sequencer should be well quantised normally but if it is not then your music will contain lots of tiny rests and notes which are not where you would expect to see them in a score.
Edit: neither are AU apps. You would need to record or export the MIDI first.
MultitrackStudio writes midi as staff notation and vice-versa
Symphony from Xenon Labs can record MIDI and show scores in realtime (not AUv3) but I would split the task into recording with the LK AUv3 from Imaginando, exporting MIDI and loading the MIDI file into one of the many available score viewer apps that can all import MIDI files.
@NimboStratus there are lots of apps that can capture midi and write it out to a file, the app du jour is Atom Piano Roll 2. The biggest hesitation for this workflow is you need to tell it how many bars to record ahead of time. This shouldn’t matter for recording a simple SnakeBud pattern but wouldn’t work if you want to capture a longer open-ended jam. If you want to record into Cubasis, https://forum.audiob.us/discussion/37882/so-i-finally-got-aum-and-cubasis should help.
Flat.io . Also not auv3
@tk32 Sorry. By real musicians I merely meant human musicians as opposed to electronic musicians. No offence intended. Hey I’m a real musician of electronic music and a real composer of electronic music, the iPad is my orchestra. Thanks all, was just a thought if I wanted to create something for humans to play on analog instruments.
Most notation software can import midi. You'll likely need add articulations and dynamics yourself, but the software should reliably notate the midi. There are a few notable ones: Doraco, Sibelius, and Musescore. Musescore is free to use, so you can see how you get on with it. For this kind of notation work, there's hardly a need for it to be AUv3.
Tonality (auv3) can analyze midi notes and chords and place them on a grand staff. This is good for transcribing compositions (or sequences I suppose) by hand if you can't sight read or are fuzzy on it. But it will not print out a little score for you. No AUs can do that.
The workflow of least resistance is to record Snakebud (or any midi app) into a piano roll like Atom2, LK, Cubasis 3. This is so you can capture a long form jam, song, composition, etc. Then you can export that midi file to your preferred desktop notation software. You could use Notion for IOS.. but why bother when there is free Musescore.
