 +==== Recording MIDI ====
 +To record MIDI from Atom you will need the excellent MIDI Tools app https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/midi-tools/id1446209019
 +
 +Decide where you want the recorded notes to be sent to.  This might be a new track which sends to the instrument track, or might be the instrument track itself.  When you have decided where the notes are to be recorded then ensure that the track is listening on a specific “NanoStudio 2” channel which is only used by that track.  Set the track to receive MIDI “ALWAYS”, for example:
 +
 +{{:wiki:atom2ns2:screenshot_2021-05-14_at_13.39.12.png?400|}}
 +
 +Add the MIDI Route plugin **after** the Atom instance that you want to record:
 +
 +{{:wiki:atom2ns2:screenshot_2021-05-14_at_13.38.29.png?400|}}
 +
 +I think by default the plugin will point to NanoStudio 2 so all you need to do is ensure that the MIDI channel that is being sent to matches the MIDI channel of the track you set up above.
 +
 +Hit record in NS2 and the output of Atom will be routed by MIDI Route to the NS2 channel and recorded into the track listening on this channel.
 +
 +If you are using an iPhone then MIDI Route is not available but you may be able to use this workaround:

 ==== Alternative (better?) workflow ==== ==== Alternative (better?) workflow ====
 Since writing the initial version of this guide I have changed my workflow so that every instrument has a control track which contains a single Atom instance - no secondary Atom instance is used for recording.  This control track does a MIDI send to the instrument track.  The control track is set up as a dummy Slate instrument - see below on how to set this up.  This lets you have a nicely numbered piano roll where the numbers match the patterns in Atom.  The instrument track is set to listen on its own MIDI port and so you can hear both the notes as played by Atom as well as an external controller. Since writing the initial version of this guide I have changed my workflow so that every instrument has a control track which contains a single Atom instance - no secondary Atom instance is used for recording.  This control track does a MIDI send to the instrument track.  The control track is set up as a dummy Slate instrument - see below on how to set this up.  This lets you have a nicely numbered piano roll where the numbers match the patterns in Atom.  The instrument track is set to listen on its own MIDI port and so you can hear both the notes as played by Atom as well as an external controller.
