Piano Motifs is the simplest way to generate your own music. • There are no preset melodies. Melodies are generated algorithmically. The melodic possibilities are endless. • Set the music tempo or select the key, scale, time signature, octave range, number of bars, melody constraints, melody note frequency and accompaniment style for your motif. • Option to generate Swing rhythm for the melody, either Shuffle or Hard Swing. • Program your own chord progressions and let Piano Motifs generate an accompaniment and melody for them. • Generation of a 3rd track with the option of it being a sustained chord per bar, sustained chord per multiple bars or a drone tone. Ideal for strings, choirs or pads. • Arrange your motifs to create longer musical pieces. • Choose from 28 different kinds of accompaniment styles. • Define your arpeggio accompaniments. • Choose from 13 different kinds of melody constraints. • Major, Minor, Lydian, Mixolydian, Dorian, Phrygian, Harmonic Minor and Phrygian Dominant scales supported. • Loop your motifs • Save your motifs as MIDI files so you can edit them or add more instrumentation to them on your favorite Digital Audio Workstation (DAW). • When exporting a MIDI file, export with a third MIDI track with a sustained chord per bar, sustained chord per multiple bars or a drone tone (Ideal for synth pads, strings or chorus). • Share audio or MIDI through iMessages, e-mail, Whatsapp or AirDrop. Save audio, MIDI or .motif file to your device's file system. • AUv3 MIDI Plug-In In-App Purchase: Incorporate Piano Motifs seemlessly in your workflow by instantiating it once or multiple times in an app that can host AUv3 MIDI Plug-Ins, for example: AUM, AudioBus 3, ApeMatrix, Drambo or EG Nodes. Please note that Piano Motifs as an AUv3 MIDI Plug-In will not play any sound by itself, it generates MIDI that can be routed to other apps and effects instantiated in a host. IMPORTANT: GarageBand does not support MIDI only Plug-ins, so the AUv3 will not work in GarageBand. • AUv3 MIDI Plug-In features include: - Ability to play Piano Motifs in sync and out of sync with the host. - State saving functionality. - Independent programmable MIDI channels for melody, accompaniment, optional third track, and optional melody harmony track. - Interactive octave shifting for melody and accompaniment. - Controllable Melody and Accompaniment Velocity parameters. - Start Delay and BPM multiple with respect to the Host in Sync mode. • MIDI Out In-App Purchase:  Play the music generated by Piano Motifs on your favorite synthesizer, DAW, a connect/route/mix app like AUM, or any app that has Virtual MIDI Destination (MIDI In) capabilities. IMPORTANT: Before purchasing please be aware that Piano Motifs DOES NOT OFFER Ableton Link functionality. • MIDI Out In-App Purchase features include:  - Programmable delay for the start of a motif - Independent programmable MIDI channels for melody, accompaniment and an optional third track • Piano Motifs chooses a music key from many different scales and an accompaniment from a varied set of accompaniments. Piano Motifs then uses its musical theory algorithms to overlay a melody in the chosen key and accompaniment. Piano Motifs are short, they go from around 16 seconds to around 30 seconds. ## Piano Motifs Screenshots - [Screenshot 1](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/70/6a/31/706a3100-d6ee-195b-24b8-c6bc899b567b/iphoneNewUIColors.png/2688x1242.png) - [Screenshot 2](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/03/20/9d/03209d0a-68c4-b3fa-2d34-af4e1cd09930/52563228-d52a-49d4-8c1d-9b88f3625e92_ScreenShot6_5_2.png/2688x1242.png) - [Screenshot 3](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/a3/c7/59/a3c7592f-8003-242e-146d-7dc1dcc4ec3d/5119ee4b-4ae4-4905-a707-601702e55222_ScreenShot6_5_3.png/2688x1242.png) ## Piano Motifs Rating Breakdown in United States - 5 stars: 116 (90%) - 4 stars: 5 (4%) - 3 stars: 4 (3%) - 2 stars: 0 (0%) - 1 stars: 4 (3%) ## Piano Motifs Reviews in United States ### ***** "Piano Motif-eriffic!" Wonderful midi generator, active dev, constant updates. The app that just keeps on giving and all it asks in return is for you to create great music. A must have imo -- 0874531, 2026-04-04 ### ***** "5 stars!" outstanding app! -- d27826, 2026-02-21 ### ***** "Essential" If you don’t have this in your inspiration quiver yet, GET IT -- TooMuchTo, 2026-01-13 ### ***** "Wonderful App" Deep as you want to go with it, and the dev’s update schedule should serve as a model for the industry. Money WELL spent. -- NicknameTaken3759, 2026-01-10 ### ***** "One of the best apps and developers on iOS" This app is too much fun. I can spend hours going down the rabbit hole creating new melodies. Thank you! -- Robert Reynolds, 2026-01-10 ### ***-- "Would like to love the app" Can we please get native Garage Band support! I'm reducing my rating because I requested that over a year ago and no response from the developer. Yes I know that Garage Band doesn't support MIDI only but it's absolutely needed as the suggested (by the developer) work arounds DON'T WORK! -- app3aday2, 2025-10-16 ### ***** "Excellent app" I like this app. It makes it easy to generate midi notes for piano roll patterns and use them for different auv3 synthesizer instruments if you unlock all features it makes it easier to run with midi connectivity in AUM. This is one of my favorite audio production tools I’ve found useful. Definitely a good app. -- MikeBtheLegend, 2025-10-02 ### ***** "It’s Just Great" Awesome app, it does it’s thing better and easier than it should. Thanks for the many improvements, additions, and updates over the years 😎 -- zetarik, 2025-09-10 ### ***** "Regular and Useful Updates" This app has been updated with new features on a regular cycle. I can’t think of another app that has such a track record of taking in user feedback and delivering new features. Most updates fix bugs… Piano Motifs provides more value overtime without asking for anything but demos of your work and the In App Tip jar to fund continued work. Always $4 (no sales) with $2 to add MIDI OUT and $4 to use multiple instances as an AUv3 MIDI app. Not sure if MIDI support is needed if you get the AUv3 IAP. Personally, I have tipped somewhere in the $20-30 range for various updates that just blew me away for their response to my requests and othe users at the Loopy Pro forum (was the AudioBus Forum). The developer is a regular poster there and always interacting with his customers… something few developers do because users can be difficult and not useful to sell more copies. This developer pleases his users and continues to (I hope) generate income to justify more features and fixes. -- Mcdtracy, 2025-08-10 ### ***** "Random Dice" Lifesaver for someone like me that is allergic to music theory. Opens up a whole new world of fun. Fantastic app for all levels! -- @thekrazywabbit, 2025-08-09 ### ***** "This app is extraordinary" Much has been said already in these reviews. The app description says it all, but when you try it yourself you’ll be amazed at it’s depth and awesome versatility. It’s a generative app, but allows a tremendous amount of optional input to shape the results of it’s output. A true interactive musical companion that can point the way and also let you lead the way into creative horizons. Highly recommended for all current and aspiring musicians. -- fleeteelf, 2025-04-04 ### ***-- "Needs piano roll" Cool app but without any visual que as to what it’s doing, it doesn’t achieve its potential -- DustinMarc, 2025-03-09 ### ***-- "Weak requirement for IAP of auv3" I paid the extra for it but feel like it was a bit of a bait and switch as no other app paywalls auv3 functionality. -- Bobete, 2025-01-16 ### ***** "Useful app - tons of features" This app is a very handy app to create motifs or help you get ideas to develop later. I was a bit confused with some of the options for editing in the arrangement section - I emailed the developer and he responded in an hour with detailed info that helped solve the problem. Exceeded expectations. -- david_kreisberg, 2024-12-28 ### ***** "Fantastic app and developer" This is a superb app and is fantastic for creating musical ideas. The developer is also always helpful and responsive -- Musicfan857, 2024-12-06 ### ****- "Pretty awesome" This is an awesome piano motif generator, as the name would imply, Gives me ideas to play on the real piano as well as generating cool midi stuff to use in AUM with other apps. Being able to put the melody, the accompaniment and the main section all in different channels makes for some pretty creative stuff. My only complaint is, and it’s not really a complaint, so much as a suggestion, have you considered making arrangements savable? Seems like that would be a pretty easy bit of code and I’ve come up with some pretty cool arrangements only to find that I can’t save them. Each individual section is there still but I have to write down their order if I wanna use it again. Also, mine doesn’t load as an AUV3 instrument, just as a midi source in host apps, is that intended? -- reviews no lies, 2024-10-10 ### ***** "a masterpiece" must have -- Abt85, 2024-07-08 ### ***-- "AUV 3 - what’s up wi that?" Updating review after purchasing audio unit option… How do you use it in Cubasis? Instructions are barebones. Please flesh out the help pages. And as before… On my wish list are more time signatures and scales/modes. But even as is, it provides hours and hours of usable material. Oh, one more wish - ability to add greater variety of sections into an arrangement. And the ability to control volume for each channel. Addendum to wish list - ability to choose different instruments for each channel with selection going beyond Piano & guitar to strings, horns, woodwinds, percussion, voices w/o having to deal with MIDI (which I gave up on). Not sure how AUv3 would work here, but after my MIDI experience, I can’t see justifying added cost. But, again, on its own Piano Motifs is a must-have tool to get the creative juices flowing. -- Jackster847, 2024-06-05 ### *---- "Cant change to next sequence without stoping play." Cant switch anything while playing in sync mode, Cant change root key or scale without changing the sequence. NO ADJUSTMENTS ARE POSSIBLE On the fly , WHILE PLAYING, THE SEQUENCE CHANGES COMPLETELY IF U TRY. RIFFLER, JUST TO NAME A FEW, ALLOWS ANY PARAMETER TO BE ADJUSTED WHILE PLAYING. AND THERES TONS OF PARAMETERS. -- fgjyfdf, 2024-04-05 [View all Piano Motifs reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Piano Motifs In-App Purchases | Item | Price | |------|-------| | MIDI Out Connectivity | $1.99 | | AUv3 MIDI Plug-In | $3.99 | | Large Tip | $4.99 | | Medium Tip | $1.99 | | Small Tip | $0.99 | ## Piano Motifs Discovered Keywords -
