takeamidi is a comprehensive MIDI monitoring and filtering tool designed to capture and manage recent MIDI data efficiently. It functions as a live sampler, allowing users to quickly access and save recent MIDI input as a MIDI file. The application maintains a buffer that stores MIDI data for user-defined durations, ranging from 10 seconds to 10 minutes, with options to pause or clear the recording seamlessly.

Users can easily export the buffered MIDI data by dragging a file icon located in the app's interface, facilitating smooth workflow integration. A dedicated log window provides detailed information about the selected time range, enhancing real-time monitoring capabilities. The tool also operates as a MIDI filter, supporting various message types including Channel, System Common, Realtime, and System Exclusive, which can be displayed or filtered according to user preferences.

takeamidi is available across multiple platforms to suit different user needs. The iOS version runs as both a standalone app and an AUv3 plugin compatible with iPhone, iPad, and Apple Silicon Macs. For desktop users, it supports standalone operation as well as VST3 and CLAP plugin formats, and is compatible with both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. This broad compatibility makes takeamidi a flexible solution for MIDI data management and filtering in various production environments.
