Osterhouse Sounds has recently released a MIDI plugin that records snippets of MIDI onto the keys of your piano.
Note Sampler allows you to mix and match ideas with your hands instead of dragging clips around your DAW timeline.
Build your own sandbox of ideas mapped across the keyboard, then play them back and let them interact.
The plugin also features step recording and step playback, key snapping, resampling combinations of ideas together onto new notes, full piano roll and per-note MIDI channels, and a MIDI monitor you can drag into your DAW at any time, to get back anything you played. The recent v1.1 update adds ability to clear note history from the MIDI monitor.
The Clipception mode lets you stack up to 3 keyboards that trigger cascaded recordings.
Available in VST3 and AU plugin formats for Windows and macOS, Note Sampler is priced $29 USD. It is on sale at a 30% discount at Loot Audio until October 11th, 2026.
