Every stem can emit MIDI: kick, snare, hats, toms, ride, crash each with sensible General MIDI notes (configurable per stem), tom pitches sorted into low/mid/high ranges, hi-hat openness as pedal CC, and velocities taken from the performance.
Recording it:
- Most DAWs can route MIDI straight from the plugin.
- Logic can’t record MIDI from an audio-effect plugin — so ReStem publishes a virtual “ReStem 2” MIDI device (Mac and Windows). Enable it in Settings, create a software-instrument track with “ReStem 2” as its input, and record normally.
- Or skip realtime entirely: drag the MIDI chip out of ReStem into your DAW, or export a .mid file — both contain the same performance.
Export tempo: the exported file declares the tempo set in Settings → Export → “MIDI tempo”. Set it to your project tempo before exporting so the performance lands on your DAW’s grid.
