Your first take
- Place the plug-in before your piano instrument in the MIDI FX chain

- Choose a velocity preset and adjust the balance while comparing Original MIDI and Cleaned Preview
- Drag Drag Cleaned MIDI from the bottom of the plug-in to your Logic track
The controls
Velocity and pedal cleaning have separate on/off switches and presets
Velocity Cleaner
- Melody / Middle / Bass
- Adjust the velocity balance between the voices
- Velocity Mix
- Blend original and cleaned velocities from 0–100%. This does not change pedal processing
- Timing
- Set the time window used to group notes as a chord
- Peak
- Reduce isolated velocity spikes in the exported cleaned MIDI. Peak control is not applied in Live Preview
Pedal Cleaner
- Range
- Set the time window for identifying an early pedal release near the next chord
- Move
- Set how far an eligible release moves toward its corrected position
- Release
- Set the small delay after the next chord for the corrected pedal release
Preview & export
Cleaned Preview updates when you move the controls, even with Live Preview switched off
Turn Live Preview on to hear the processing during playback in Logic. Turn it off when you only want to compare and export captured MIDI
Drag Cleaned MIDI exports the processed notes and pedal events with your settings, including Peak control
Uninstall
Close Logic Pro. In Finder, choose Go, then Applications, then Piano MIDI Cleaner, then open Uninstall Piano MIDI Cleaner
