Open a MIDI file

Stay on-device. Start empty if you have no file, or try a public demo.

Off-grid notes, wild velocities, leftover gaps — the dirty AI-song export producers actually get.

A clean four-bar piano phrase you can transpose, quantize, or reshape immediately.

Drums, bass, and chords on separate tracks for mute, solo, and merge practice.

The same hook after quantize and velocity cleanup — the after shot for the messy export.

Your file stays on this device unless you explicitly use Creator Cloud. After an edit, one local recovery copy is saved in this browser until you replace or clear it.

What this tool changes

Snap note starts and ends to a selected grid. Every edited note keeps a positive duration, while non-note events remain in the file.

What stays in your MIDI

Events outside the selected operation remain in the low-level timeline. Downloading before any edit returns the exact source bytes.

Drop the export into a DAW

  1. Download the edited file. The name starts with editmidi- so it is easy to spot in a DAW project.
  2. In FL Studio, Ableton, or Logic, create or open a MIDI track and import that .mid onto the clip or arrangement.
  3. Audition the destination instrument. MIDI is instructions, so the sound comes from the synth you attach in the DAW.

Snap every note to a musical grid

Choose a quarter-note, eighth-note, sixteenth-note, or thirty-second-note grid calculated from the file PPQ value. Applying quantize rounds the start and end of every paired note across the document to the nearest grid line.

This focused tool applies one grid to the whole file. It does not offer selection-only quantize, swing, or a strength control, so keep an original copy when the performance needs a more selective timing treatment.

Keep each quantized note playable

Rounding can place a short note start and end on the same tick. EditMIDI prevents that invalid result by keeping the end at least one tick after the start. Notes near the document limit are kept inside the supported tick range.

Compare the feel before download

Quantize changes note timing, not velocity, program choices, controllers, pitch bend, tempo events, or track order. Preview the result, use one Undo to return to the earlier timing if the performance feels too rigid, and download only when the grid suits the material.
