- Connect imitone as a midi input device to your DAW
- Attach imitone's midi input control to an instrument track
- Press record and make some noise (preferably in a quiet place with headphones on)
- Export your audio.
Alternatively, select the imitone VST and VST3 plugins (currently Windows-only) when installing for deeper integration with your DAW. Be advised that some expertise in MIDI routing is necessary to get the full value from our plugins!
