Bjango have released MIDI Memories, a plugin that captures incoming MIDI-events (including automation) and can turn what it records into editable regions. (It does a few other things as well, like displaying chords and suggesting possible scales based on the chords it has recorded, but that’s of no interest to me.)
I don’t know what the situation is in other DAW’s, but for LogicPro users, MIDI Memories is a very, very welcome tool. True, since a few versions, Logic has a few built-in options to record the output of its MIDI plug-ins — before those options arrived, you had to use IAC if you wanted to record the output of MIDI plug-ins —, but those features either only work with live input or don’t work reliably at all. (I can get it to work in a blank, empty document, but for some reason, it doesn’t work at all in my default template.)
MIDI Memories, on the other hand, works flawlessly. The moment you hit play, it records everything that passes through it and then you can drag its contents onto whichever instrument track you like. Easy, quick, perfect.
The plug-in is being introduced for $19, later on the price will rise to $29.
Available as VST3 and Audio Unit. Confirmed to work in Cubase, LogicPro, Reaper, Bitwig and Ableton Live.
