It is available in standalone with  latest version 9.12 on Mac OS and IOS  ( can't test on Windows or Linux) and has been working in version 8's as well. To enable to need to right click in the empty zone between ' preset demo' and the metronome and you have accept to midi archiving settings.

Indeed, that was a clever way to hide the settings. Anyway I needed that utility as part of my other project. Hopefully someone else will find it useful.

I think Pianoteq's  MIDI archive is still available in standalone but not in plugin.

I have noticed that there are no more recordings after last October update. And the Archive settings are not available anymore either. Curiously both in Pianoteq 8 and Pianoteq 9.

When launched stand-alone, Pianoteq could record everything you play into midi files in background.
This feature had been removed recently. I used this feature for peace of mind to ensure I do not lose a good idea, and to avoid using extra software when I need to do a recording.

So I made a replacement. Just in case  anyone else finds this useful, the source code is here

I use it on Linux/ALSA on x86 and RaspberryPI. Potentially it can also work on Windows and Mac but I have not tested that, I do not have either at my disposal. The file names are intended for automatic parsing so they are less nice than ones of Pianoteq's.

It is nice to see somebody else has the same itch. I've recently posted this: https://forum.modartt.com/viewtopic.php?id=13106

There are a few people trying the standalone version and they discovered some limitations (because of JUCE). Yours might work better for that use case.

It still works for me (version 9.1.2). Have you checked the MIDI archiving settings?
