How To Use MidiShaper: Manual & Tutorials


MidiShaper works as an effects plugin that outputs MIDI data.

Routing MidiShaper to external MIDI hardware is simple: just select the relevant external MIDI port in the Output dropdown.

Routing MidiShaper to software instruments and effects can be relatively straightforward as in Reaper and Ableton Live, though some DAWs can require more setup, such as Apple Logic Pro. See the DAW guides in the PDF manual for details. Also please note that not all plugins support MIDI control of their parameters.

We recommend that you try the free MidiShaper demo first to see if it works for you and your setup.


For a feature overview, see the main MidiShaper page.
