MIDI Bass
MIDI Bass is a virtual instrument from Jam Origin that converts bass guitar or bass instrument audio into MIDI note data in real time. It processes incoming audio from a microphone or instrument input and translates the pitch and dynamics into MIDI events that can control synthesizers, samplers or other MIDI-compatible instruments. The software is used by bass players, music producers and electronic musicians who want to integrate live bass playing into DAWs or control virtual instruments while performing acoustic bass. It works as a standalone application and as an audio plugin (AU/VST format) within digital audio workstations.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThe most recent version of MIDI Bass we found is 1.2.1 from early 2018, which appears to be significantly outdated — nearly eight years without a public update. There is no evidence of a native Apple Silicon build from Jam Origin, and the company's website and development activity appear inactive. The Intel-only MIDI Bass will continue to run under Rosetta 2 on your current Mac, but Apple is removing Rosetta 2 support in macOS 28 (scheduled for September 2028), at which point this app will stop launching entirely. If you rely on MIDI Bass, contact Jam Origin directly via their website to ask whether a native or Universal Binary update is planned. If the vendor is no longer active, consider switching to an actively maintained MIDI-to-audio alternative such as Melodyne (Celemony), which includes pitch-to-MIDI conversion and runs natively on Apple Silicon, or explore other modern audio-to-MIDI tools in your DAW of choice. Acting sooner rather than later will give you time to migrate your workflows before the September 2028 deadline.
