    One more time: if you set the scale to C Phrygian, Pro MIDI will effectively treat that as being in the key of C. If you program your melody with C as root, then yes you are still playing in C. If you instead treat E as the root, then you're effectively playing in E Major. If you instead treat C# as the root, then you're effectively playing in the C# Minor. But Pro MIDI will still think you're playing in C Phrygian.

    yep. and we would like Pro Midi to not still think it is C Phrygian but C# Minor :)

    but seriously, I get your point and it's kind of smart, but it would still make more sense to be able to set the root key, especially for all the other scales like Blues and World music scales

    Agreed.. and that's why I use Gadget instead.

  • Clip transpose would be my preferred enhancement, presuming they are equal work.

  • since both features seem somewhat related . . . they might make a great update together. I think I'm going to write a note to the developer

    Agreed too :). And that's why I also use Gadget (and a million other reasons). Expect when I need midi out. I wish Gadget had midi out... We can live in hope :)

  • It would be great if a Gadget like song mode is added to this soon, I'm finding it a bit more reliable and easier to make midi edits than with Genome for example

    I agree, abtter song mode would be great. Especially since that functionality is alreaddy mostly there. We would mostly need a new loop option "loop until row is finished" and the ability to rearrange rows

  • Yeah might be worth sending a few feature requests by email, a proper song mode would be a killer feature for this app and as you say is not far off..

  • If it allowed you to use a midi note or CC to toggle an entire row, we could use something like midiSequencer to arrange songs. Set it to some super subdivision of the clock and then use #repeats on each step to play the same row multiple times.

  • Yeah some sort of song mode would be great, but I would like to be able to record in this app with a controller keyboard and actually hear what I'm playing WHILE recording as well as after recording. I'd ask for that before song mode.

  • @markk, really? That was my next step with this app. So, if I was hooked up to Sunrizer, I wouldn't be able to hear it while I played in? That is a massive problem.

  • Yeah. Mind you, maybe someone here has figured out a realistic non-boring workaround.

    what for? they do not respond on neither email in my experience...

  • Emailed the dev:

    Hi,

    Really enjoying Pro Midi so far. You could have a real winner on your hands. There are some issues, though. Many of them are covered in the Audiobus Forum thread here:

    http://forum.audiob.us/discussion/6655/pro-midi-new-sequencer-recorder-editor-and-more#latest

    This forum is a great place for developers to hang out. Lots of folk giving feedback. And lots of people buy apps when they see responsive developers joining the conversation, so it's good for everyone.

    Hope to see you there,

    Ian

  • I'm not sure if it's Pro Midi's fault or iOS 8.3 but was just in a relatively undemanding session with 3 IAA instruments, was all playing nicely then after about 10 minutes the sound cuts out from all apps. A restart of pro midi fixed it, but can't remember if it was doing that in 8.2.

    I did get an email back from the company previously, though not the main dev himself. I still think it's worth sending as they all get read and noted I'm sure.

  • @iansainsbury

    He's already on the forums even has comments in this thread.

  • @firejan82. Thank you. D'oh.

  • Have I misunderstood something about this app - does it not record Midi from other apps?

    I've just tried it with ChordMaps2, NLog Pro, Gadget and ThumbJam... with the exception of the first one they all show up in the "connection" tab at the bottom of the channel columns, but I haven't managed to get a single Midi note recorded into it.

    I'm just looking for a simple way to record multiple midi channels into separate tracks on one midi destination app. Thought this was it, but apparently not. (NLog Pro used to do it, even though it could only play back one track at a time, but now it just seems to freeze at the end of any midi recording session, leaving no trace.)

    Any helpful pointers on these apps or other options would be fantastic... Thanks!

  • I think it is abandonware.

    So far I have had good luck simultaneously recording audio and midi from Patterning (drums), iFretless Bass and GeoShred into Auria Pro (even though GeoShred does not show up on the list of midi sources in Auria, need to set the midi channel to listen on and then select "All" in the sources list).

    Haven't used it In a couple years - but back when I did I managed to record midi in it somehow. Anyways - if you haven't checked out Infinite Looper do so - I found it similar in functionality to Pro Midi - but better in so many ways

  • @ehauri said:

    I think so, too. I emailed the dev to ask if he had any plans for future development about four months ago, and received no reply.

  • Shame if this is indeed no longer being developed. It was so close to being my favourite MIDI sequencer.
    Really cool mix of scene-based and traditional linear sequencing, just needing some more refinement in a few areas.
    @Wiksnet Any chance of giving this project some more love? <3

  • @TonySaunders is working on a clip/scene based expansion of his midiSequencer app, it is still in development but he's been teasing it on the midiSequencer FB page and on the iPad Musician FB page.

    Its a whole new app, not an expansion per se' - correct?

    I did leave one star rating months ago ,warning users that it is abandoned .

    I believe it will amount to something like multiple instances of the original app that can be arranged in clip fashion, from what I've seen. He actually started on the idea before Pro Midi came out then shelved it because he thought Pro Midi would take off. Which it hasn't.

  • Thanks very much for all the comments/replies!

    Re Infinite Looper, as far as I can make out it's only suitable for looping, so for short MIDI sections, whereas I want something that can record multiple MIDI inputs separately and linearly without any fixed limit.

    I have now realised that I can use Gadget for that, in a slightly clumsy way: just have to set it up with the required set of input channels, set them all to maximum length of 16 bars and create enough scenes to last as long as I want to record into them. But I could save that as a template so only have to do it once. I can do playback through whatever apps I like and just use the Gadget tracks to save the MIDI. In fact I've done a tiny test of this with the three sections of SoundPrism going to 3 different Gadget tracks and it worked fine.

    And I think Auria Pro (thanks for that tip about invisible sources @ehauri!) will work, which I was trying to avoid because I don't find it very intuitive to navigate, but I guess I'll have to try that for a proper solution.

    If anyone has any other suggestions I'd be very happy to hear about them though...

  • Caustic can record multiple tracks of MIDI input simultaneously and linearly if you are recording in Song (as opposed to Pattern) mode. You could then export the MIDI as needed. Caustic does not do conventional pitch pend though.

    Anthony is a hard worker and a good devel.

    I would still like to see the old midi seq get the LINK up.

    I use it on iPhone.

    It is a fun app for trying sounds out.

    A more composition orientated app will be cool.

    It better be good because I LOVE GENOME and INFINITE - let alone my on again off again romance withModstep

  • Shame about ProMIDI not getting a lot of attention. I bought it for $10 (I think), but it never got much use. That's been the story with most of the MIDI sequencer apps I purchase, however. I did use ModStep a bit with my Volcas and Ploytec PL2 because it had all that template stuff, but in iOS music, I think the sequencer-only stuff makes more sense for the hardware-oriented people. Most of the good DAW's have piano roll and MIDI control functionality, so it's a hassle to have something also running outside of that for the purpose of sequencing notes or data into the DAW.
