What miniGRID is, where to download it, and where note names are explained.

miniGRID is a 4-track MIDI sequencer for building drum patterns. Shuffle sets the groove, and each sound can sit slightly ahead of the beat or slightly behind it.
It can also play synths and hardware over MIDI, so it is not limited to drums inside the computer. It runs as VST3, AU, and AAX.
The full description, and the price for your account, are on the product page:

After you buy, log in at <a href="https://rapidflow.moonbase.sh">rapidflow.moonbase.sh</a> with the email you used at checkout. Download the installer shown there for your computer. That file is the latest public version.
Quit your DAW completely after installing, including the icon in the menu bar or the system tray, then open it again. The new version loads only when the DAW starts.
From version 1.1.0, middle C on the grid is C3. If the note names look an octave or two away from what you expect, that change is explained in the next article.

About miniGRID

From miniGRID 1.1.0, middle C is C3. Older versions called it C5.

From miniGRID version 1.1.0, the notes on the grid run from C-2 up to G8, and middle C is C3.
Older versions called middle C C5. The same key looked three octaves higher than it was, so a pattern could look as if it had jumped. The notes you hear did not move. Only the name of middle C changed, so it matches the numbering most DAWs use.
If you open a pattern made in an older version, compare it with C3 before you transpose anything. If it already sounds right, leave the MIDI where it is. The labels are what changed.
Install the latest version from your Moonbase library. Log in at <a href="https://rapidflow.moonbase.sh">rapidflow.moonbase.sh</a> with your checkout email and download the miniGRID installer shown there.

Why do the notes on miniGRID look an octave off?

miniGRID is a plugin, not an application. Look in MIDI FX or in the Rapid Flow folder.

miniGRID will not appear in the Applications folder. The installer puts the plugins here on a Mac:
<ul>
<li>AU: /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components</li>
<li>VST3: /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3</li>
</ul>
On Windows the VST3 plugin goes in C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3, not in Program Files (x86).
In Logic, open the MIDI FX slot. In other DAWs, look in the Rapid Flow folder.
On a Mac, open System Settings, then Privacy &amp; Security, and click Allow Anyway if miniGRID was blocked. In Ableton, hold Option or Alt and click Rescan. Restart the computer if it is still missing.
The latest installer is in Moonbase: <a href="https://rapidflow.moonbase.sh">rapidflow.moonbase.sh</a>

miniGRID doesn't show up after I install it

miniGRID sends notes. Point the instrument's MIDI input at miniGRID and turn monitoring on.

<ul>
<li>Logic Pro. Load miniGRID in the MIDI FX slot of the software-instrument track.</li>
<li>Cubase. Load it in an insert, set the instrument track&apos;s MIDI input to miniGRID, and turn monitoring on.</li>
<li>REAPER and Bitwig. Place miniGRID above the instrument on the same track.</li>
<li>Pro Tools. Insert it on the track, switch the instrument track to the Instrument I/O view, and choose miniGRID as the MIDI input.</li>
</ul>
Press Play. miniGRID does not make the sound itself.

How do I connect miniGRID to an instrument?

Load it on a Mixer insert, not in the Channel Rack, and match the MIDI port numbers.

Load miniGRID in a Mixer insert. The Master insert is the safest place. Do not load it in the Channel Rack. That slot is what produces the &quot;problem opening miniGRID&quot; error.
In the plugin wrapper, set the MIDI output port to a number. Set your synth&apos;s MIDI input port to the same number. In the Processing tab, turn Allow smart disable off.
FL Studio&apos;s own generators cannot receive MIDI this way. Use a third-party instrument.
If the error is still there, reinstall miniGRID, restart the computer, and rescan.

miniGRID won't load in FL Studio

The transport has to be running, and the instrument has to listen to miniGRID itself.

Check these in order:
<ol>
<li>The DAW transport is playing. miniGRID does not run while the song is stopped.</li>
<li>The instrument&apos;s MIDI input is set to miniGRID itself, and monitoring is on.</li>
<li>The Note box on each lane is a note that the drum kit or the synth actually plays.</li>
</ol>
From miniGRID 1.1.0, middle C is C3. Older versions called it C5, so a pattern can look an octave or two away from the kit even though the notes did not move.
miniGRID has one fixed velocity per lane, no MIDI export, and no randomize or scale tools. Those are in omniGRID.
