Gridshift continuously records incoming MIDI events into a circular buffer — even when you’re not in record mode. If you play something great and forgot to hit record, you can recall it after the fact.
The buffer holds up to 16,384 events per track. When full, the oldest events are silently overwritten.
Committing a Capture
- Play your MIDI controller or Musical Typing along with the project
- When you want to keep what you played, press
⇧C (Commit MIDI Capture)
- Gridshift creates a clip from the buffered notes on the selected track
The notes are placed at their correct timeline positions based on when they were played relative to the transport.
Clearing the Buffer
Open the Command Palette (⌘K) and search for “Clear MIDI Capture Buffer” to discard all buffered events and start fresh. Last modified on March 28, 2026
