Focused, powerful and efficient, Intuem is almost everything you could ever want in a MIDI production software program. With a clean, graphically-detailed, intuitive interface and well-organized, customizable features, Intuem's MIDI functions stand head-and-shoulders above most other MIDI software programs and applications. Though it isn't a standalone full audio production software program, Intuem works seamlessly with other Mac-based programs, including Apple Logic Express, enabling users to supplement Logic-based projects with Intuem MIDI tracks and vice versa.

Recording and producing in MIDI has obvious advantages and Intuem makes the most of them. Users can record, notate and export MIDI messages to be played on any supported instrument or device with impeccable accuracy and fidelity. With its variable-tempo system, quantize and dynamic parameters features, Intuem takes the guesswork and destructive editing hangups out of MIDI sequencing and composition. The software renders recorded MIDI tracks as detailed and perfect as their original, or with the help of its editing features, as detailed and perfect as they should have been.

Composition & Sequencing Features:   Excellent

With multiple composition/sequencing modes, Intuem is equally at home among musicians and songwriters that compose in standard notation and producers that use piano-roll and step sequencers to compose tracks. With top-down customization functionality, Intuem can be configured to suit any producers' style or needs. A newer Intuem feature is the improved controller with pencil tools. Producers can make movements with impeccable response, use it to draft smooth cubic curves, quadratic curves, natural-sounding sinus curves and, of course, straight lines with ease, allowing them, overall, to shape their sequences and compositions with deftness and accuracy. Even better, the improved controller actually functions with near-autonomy, following the composition around on screen while never becoming a nuisance or distraction.

A unique aspect of many Intuem features, commands and functions is the ability to be controlled with the Apple Remote and other standard Apple interfaces.
