United StatesPhoton AU - Midi Recorder with Pad playback & Groove NOTE: You need a suitable host to run this AUv3 midi app (eg AUM, Audiobus, apeMatrix, Cubasis etc). The standalone version is for the manual & file import. Record your midi performances (from a keyboard, sequencer or arpeggiator) using this audio unit in your DAW then save/export them as standard midi files via email or directly to other apps. Load midi files using Airdrop (uses the standalone version) & select your track to import in the AU version. Up to six pads can be loaded with midi file data & played back with variations in transposition, loudness, tempo, parts defined as start/duration You can also load a midi file as a Groove file to allow it to replace midi timing or velocity in your recorded/loaded midi file thereby conforming your buffer midi to the groove pattern (eg trancegate effects) Most controls automated as AU Parameters (quick record, pad controls, pad playback etc) Full 29 page Manual available here http://amssoftware.org/manual/PhotonManual.pdf Iphone version coming soon with universal app
No Airdrop!
I just purchased this expressly be able to play my previously built midi files via AUM and/or AudioBus. I followed your instructions to download a file via an email attachment. Numerous other apps I have were able to successfully load the file. However, Photon AU was not among those available for download. I will update my review upon successful resolution to this issue. Please respond here, because I do Not do Facebook. Thanks!

United StatesPhoton AU by anthony saunders
"Designed & Developed by Tony Saunders based on requests in the Audiobus forum users." This is one of the most responsive iOS developers on the platform, complete lack of ego and eager to implement changes, even if it means a complete re-do. This is one of the most useful utilities on iOS as it gives you the freedom to swap out any sounds or instruments because it’s a midi recorder. ENJOY!
United StatesComplicated and cluttered - INVESTIGATE
Many were waiting for a midi recorder for environments like AUM that don’t capture or playback midi. This might do what it says but, it’s poor design and it may not work for you. The UI is not optimal, period. The midi file list is only going to growif it’s both for midi files and groove files (if you’re Really even use this thing). It’s like having a preset list on screen at all times. The midi “editor” isn’t displayed at all times and is crammed into a tiny popup. This app raises a lot of eyebrows. If you don’t understand 100% what this app is doing you should watch videos of it in use. There’s still room for an elegant midi recorder to enter the iOS playground.
United StatesReally Useful
Great for capturing ideas. To the 1 star reviewer, this is an AU (audio unit) so you have to open it from within a host that supports AUs (e.g. AUM or a DAW).
