Transform Your Music with RhythmBud - AUv3 MIDI FX

RhythmBud offers music creators a robust MIDI effects tool that brings fresh rhythmic textures and creative possibilities to your productions.
RhythmBud is a MIDI effect application that transforms incoming MIDI messages into rhythmic patterns through its easy-to-use timeline editor. It supports AUv3 Audio Unit plugin, Audiobus, Inter-App Audio (IAA), Ableton Link, and Core MIDI (Standalone).

By connecting the MIDI input and output, you can seamlessly operate the application.
Utilizing the “Snapshots” feature, users can instantly save and recall configurations.
