Description
WatsonMIDI™ is the professional MIDI recording and playback app for pipe organ and electronic organ musicians. Developed with over 20 years of organist input, WatsonMIDI™ captures, organizes, and shares your musical performances. RECORD & PLAYBACK Capture performances with a single tap. Records all MIDI data including notes, expression pedal movements, and registration changes. Play back through any MIDI-connected organ exactly as performed, or route to virtual organ software like GrandOrgue and Hauptwerk. ORGANIZED LIBRARY Build a recording library with custom folders for each venue, season, or occasion. Search instantly across hundreds of recordings. Import existing MIDI files from other systems. SERVICE PLAYLISTS Create playlists for worship services, concerts, recitals, and special events. Arrange recordings in any order and play through them seamlessly. Perfect for substitute organists. HYMN BUILDER (Symphony) Assemble a complete hymn from your recordings. Record an introduction, verses, and an ending once, set the verse plan, and WatsonMIDI plays the hymn straight through on your organ. Reuse the same pieces across services. PROFESSIONAL FEATURES Instant transposition - shift playback up or down without re-recording Tempo adjustment - speed up or slow down for practice Loop playback - repeat recordings continuously Play-along mode - play live while a recording plays back Listening mode - hear playback through your device speakers MIDI Monitor - view incoming MIDI data in real-time PROTECT YOUR WORK Share recordings with military-grade AES-256 encryption.

MAESTRO - FOR ORGANISTS & TECHNICIANS For musicians who play multiple instruments and technicians who service them: Organ Profiling - capture any instrument's complete stop list, divisions, and MIDI channel mapping. Build a profile library of every organ you play or maintain. Translation Engine - a first for the organ world. Record at one church, play back at another with stops mapped automatically.

Record your own Intro, Verse, Interlude, Final Verse, and Ending, name them “Amazing Grace - Intro”, “Amazing Grace - Verse”, and so on, and the builder fills in the parts for you. Planned hymns show just the hymn name in your service and in Run Service, with the verse count alongside. iPad layouts now adapt to the screen: Services fits one column in portrait with the sidebar open, in Split View, and on iPad mini, and toolbars wrap instead of cutting off. Fixes and polish throughout. Technical Analysis
