Publisher Description

MultitrackStudio turns your iPad into a digital multitrack music recording studio. You can record, edit and mix audio and MIDI tracks. Both "one man band" recording, adding tracks one at a time, and live multitrack recording are supported.

Both audio and MIDI tracks can be edited. MIDI editing features include pianoroll, drum, score and pattern editors. Tempo and time signature can change throughout the song.

MultitrackStudio for iPad comes with many high quality audio effects including a guitar amp simulator. MIDI instruments include GM-compatible MultitrackStudio Instruments, SoundFont Player and Matrix Sampler. External (hardware) synths can be used as well.

AUv3 audio effects, instruments and MIDI effects are supported, so 3rd party apps can integrate into MultitrackStudio.

Drum Kit, Timpani and Synth Drum can be panned using per-note pan controllers.
• The MultitrackStudio Instruments support some articulations for Overdrive Guitar / Distortion Guitar (Normal, Muted, Harmonic), Electric Bass (finger) (Normal, Slap), and Violin/Viola/Cello/Contrabass (Bowed, Pizzicato).
• You can define articulation selection keys in the Keyboard Mapper, so you can easily play articulations live.
• 'Make monophonic' option in Keyboard Mapper.
• MultitrackStudio now tries to avoid losing the MIDI 2.0 note attribute in AU MIDI effect plugins which don't support MIDI 2.0. The note attribute is used for articulations.
• Higher math accuracy in many audio effects.
• Rotor effect: improved speed up/down timing.
• Guitar Amp effect uses higher oversampling rate (8x).

The high resolutions do not appear in exported MIDI files. NRPN parameters are used for this, similar to how MultitrackStudio stores per-note controllers in MIDI 1.0 files.
• MIDI values that are 7 bits in MIDI 1.0 are now displayed with one decimal place, unless the decimal is zero (60.9, 61, 61.1 etc.). This applies to note velocities, controller values, aftertouch etc. The controller editor's Dot Editor accepts values like 60.9.
• MIDI 2.0: the new RPN 7 (per-note pitchbend sensitivity) is sent to MIDI Out Device and AU plugins that support the MIDI 2.0 protocol.

• MIDI controller editor / Automated Fader / Automation editor (Pro Extension) 'draw' mode: the first bit you draw is now predictably smooth.
• Multi MIDI Editor: the score view now has a System Spacing setting (tap a clef on the left to access it).
Also, the system spacing now takes the actual notes into account. As a result you can see more systems simultaneously.
• Onscreen MIDI Keyboard: Matrix layout pads display note names. The names depend on the MIDI instrument that's responding to the keyboard. The Keyboard Mapper is taken into account.
• Onscreen MIDI Keyboard: Slider menu controller names depend on the MIDI instrument that's responding to the keyboard. Controllers that are actually supported appear bold.
• Onscreen MIDI Keyboard: Presets and Layout menus now have icons.
• Keyboard Mapper can now convert incoming controllers to NRPN.

version 5.3

posted on 2026-05-11

Version History • The MultitrackStudio Instruments acoustic pianos support the MIDI 2.0 Piano Profile. If your keyboard supports this too, the profile will be enabled (and disabled) automatically, so the velocity and sustain curves match.
• MultitrackStudio Instruments acoustic piano improvements: added sympathetic resonance, added Timbre Range knob, better sustain behavior, better soft pedal sound, better overall sound.
• MultitrackStudio Instruments: almost all instruments sound better.
• Export MIDI Tracks can now export to .midi2 file (MIDI Clip File) if you append ".midi2" to the name.
• MIDI editors: scrubbing now takes the Articulation controller into account, so you hear the correct articulation.
• Stereo Imager: the Comb filter option now keeps low frequencies present in both channels.
• Fixed: Saturator "Tube" program no longer inverts phase.
• Fixed: the selector in editors could get stuck.
• Several other fixes. 5.3 Jan 22 • Fixed: issue with AudioShare and IAA on iPadOS 26 and 18. 5.2.1 09/18/2025 • MIDI In Device supports the MIDI 1.0 High Resolution Velocity Prefix (CC88) for note-on velocities, so MIDI 1.0 note velocities can be 14 bit.
• MIDI Keyboard Mapper: mapping poly aftertouch or channel aftertouch to (per note) controllers or pitchbend works better.
• External MIDI Instrument: The Bright, Reverb and Chorus knobs can change to different MIDI controllers, depending on MIDI-CI or the patchmap file used.
Scroll buttons appear if the number of knobs exceeds 3.
• MultitrackStudio Instruments: Acoustic pianos now have true continuous half pedaling. (half pedal range = 48..80)
• MIDI file lyrics: line breaks are now read from imported files, and saved to exported files. MultitrackStudio only allows line breaks between bars (not within a bar).

Acoustic pianos support Sostenuto pedal, Soft pedal is now continuous rather than on/off. New Upright Piano. Honky Tonk Piano now really is honky tonk. Drum Kit is panned stereo and has a Width knob. Drum Kit, Timpani and Synth Drum can be panned using per-note pan controllers.
• The MultitrackStudio Instruments support some articulations for Overdrive Guitar / Distortion Guitar (Normal, Muted, Harmonic), Electric Bass (finger) (Normal, Slap), and Violin/Viola/Cello/Contrabass (Bowed, Pizzicato).
• You can define articulation selection keys in the Keyboard Mapper, so you can easily play articulations live.
• 'Make monophonic' option in Keyboard Mapper.
• MultitrackStudio now tries to avoid losing the MIDI 2.0 note attribute in AU MIDI effect plugins which don't support MIDI 2.0. The note attribute is used for articulations.
• Higher math accuracy in many audio effects.
• Rotor effect: improved speed up/down timing.
• Guitar Amp effect uses higher oversampling rate (8x).
• Velocity Curve (MIDI Effect): Curve knob now works the other way round. The range has been extended from 0.5..2 to 0.33..3.

• Newly recorded audio tracks align better with existing tracks.
• The articulation settings from the Note Editor are now available in the Multi Note Editor too.
• EQ: spectrum display works if EQ is visible and transport isn't running, even if neither the track's Rec button nor Soft Monitoring are enabled. Just like the Tuner.
• MIDI Pattern Editor: horizontal scale is automatically adjusted to a reasonable value if the main editors are zoomed out quite a bit.
• Fixed: Bypassed MIDI Effect plugins were no longer bypassed after re-opening the song.

The high resolutions do not appear in exported MIDI files. NRPN parameters are used for this, similar to how MultitrackStudio stores per-note controllers in MIDI 1.0 files.
• MIDI values that are 7 bits in MIDI 1.0 are now displayed with one decimal place, unless the decimal is zero (60.9, 61, 61.1 etc.). This applies to note velocities, controller values, aftertouch etc. The controller editor's Dot Editor accepts values like 60.9.
• MIDI 2.0: the new RPN 7 (per-note pitchbend sensitivity) is sent to MIDI Out Device and AU plugins that support the MIDI 2.0 protocol.

Version 5.2
• MIDI In Device supports the MIDI 1.0 High Resolution Velocity Prefix (CC88) for note-on velocities, so MIDI 1.0 note velocities can be 14 bit.
• MIDI Keyboard Mapper: mapping poly aftertouch or channel aftertouch to (per note) controllers or pitchbend works better.
• External MIDI Instrument: The Bright, Reverb and Chorus knobs can change to different MIDI controllers, depending on MIDI-CI or the patchmap file used.
Scroll buttons appear if the number of knobs exceeds 3.
• MultitrackStudio Instruments: Acoustic pianos now have true continuous half pedaling. (half pedal range = 48..80)
• MIDI file lyrics: line breaks are now read from imported files, and saved to exported files. MultitrackStudio only allows line breaks between bars (not within a bar).
• There's no longer a limit on the number of markers which can be read from a MIDI file. A confirmation dialog appears when there are more than 20 markers. You can see the markers before actually importing them.
