MIDI sampling is finally here. Introducing reMIDI 2, the sequel to reMIDI that takes MIDI sampling to the next level with new features. reMIDI 2 is a MIDI effect plug-in that samples musical notes from MIDI files, allowing you to quickly locate, slice, move keys, and time-stretch samples and map them to a controller.
reMIDI 2 is a plug-in instrument capable of both MIDI and audio output. A simple sine synth sound is built in for scratching, so you can quickly find a loop to export as a MIDI file entirely within it.
The idea is to run other instruments via reMIDI, and how this is configured depends on the DAW host. For VST hosts (such as Ableton Live), reMIDI is loaded as an instrument plug-in on a MIDI track, the output of which is sent to the second track (which hosts the target instrument) using the DAW’s routing system.
For Audio Unit hosts (such as Logic Pro), the included reMIDI_MFX MIDI effect plug-in is loaded instead. It is identical to regular reMIDI, but placed before the target instrument on the same track, outputting MIDI directly. This is by far the more elegant of the two approaches, although it only captures the raw trigger notes on the track, not the chords emitted by the plugin.
Each pad can be assigned its own selected slice from the MIDI file loaded into the pad. You can combine different MIDI files (for melody/drum MIDI) or record MIDI to pads from reMIDI MIDI I/O.
Now included with reMIDI 2: SW Jazz Complete MIDI Pack
The complete set contains over 1000 files in 11 volumes. Each volume contains 100 Jazz block chord progressions in MIDI format.
These MIDI files can be dragged and dropped into any DAW, but why not just use SongWish’s reMIDI 2, a VST MIDI sampler. reMIDI 2 can load these MIDI files with some handy features for playing and editing them.
You can animate these blocky chords with other MIDI utilities such as arpeggiators. Or start editing these jazz sequences in your favorite DAW by changing, adding/deleting notes, or even changing the timing.
