Matari Audio has released a public beta version of its cross-platform retrospective audio and MIDI recorder designed to recover performances beyond the currently armed DAW track.
Featuring a custom drag-and-drop protocol, BUFFR allows audio, MIDI and spectral grab results to be dragged into another BUFFR instance, any DAW, the desktop, a file manager, or another application that accepts normal file drops.
BUFFR is an always-on recorder plugin with up to two hours of multichannel audio, System Audio, and MIDI history. Every note, expression, pitch bend, and YES—even MPE—captured just in case you need it. Forgot to hit record while jamming a masterpiece? We got you. Need to mark that masterpiece? Yeah, we got markers too!
Synthesized some cool shit on your hardware? BUFFR keeps the audio and MIDI it actually receives, so you can reproduce it later—or drag the MIDI onto a track and keep going. Select it, process it, normalize it, and drag and drop it to another BUFFR, your DAW, an accepting app, or your file manager on every OS. Listen back to everything, mark it, save it, and import or export in a ridiculous number of audio formats. It’s allll still here!
