• Option to generate Swing rhythm for the melody, either Shuffle or Hard Swing.

• 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
- MIDI Out settings are saved between Piano Motifs sessions

• 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.

An absolute steal - truly fantastic app

TLDR: This app is beyond perfect for non-musicians (like me) who want make music using iOS apps. It’s actually possible to not read a note of music or play an instrument and yet be able to compose songs! The price point ($10 all-in) cannot be beat for the quality and functionality of the app, not to mention the stellar customer support. I’m always on the hunt for music for my passion-project podcast (a narrative nonfiction show). It’s always hard to find just the right music, with an affordable license fee, that hasn’t already been used by dozens if not hundreds of other podcasts. With Piano Motifs, I’ll be able to create unique music for my show. I’m just getting started but am thrilled that I can export MIDI to Garage Band or Helium + AUM and turn a piano piece into electronic music, orchestral music ... whatever will be right for each audio story I’m making. At $10 all-in, it’s the best bargain in the App Store.

Great Fun

I’m not really a piano player but can sure get some gold out of this app. Watch the tutorials and learn the countless features included, you can do more that you might expect. I also appreciate the regular updates throughout the years, this app has really grown into something wonderful!

One of the few reasons I still use the iPad

Seriously one of the only serious, and useable melody generators out there. Easy to get good results fast, but if you know just a little about music you can get beautiful stuff out of it. Also uncommonly good support. Well worth your money.

Absolute Sleeper of an App

I’ve always wanted to make music, but most of music theory remains a deep mystery to me. This is where Piano Motifs comes in- it’s the collaborator that gets you started and nudges you in the right direction. It’s the mentor that never runs out of ideas. Piano Motifs gives you themes that you can use as-is, but it also lets you export them as midi to be modified or expanded upon in any midi editor. Options run deep as to how you want motifs generated, and you can use the in-app arranger to, well, arrange them into complete songs. You owe it to yourself to try it. And read the manual- there’s far more here than is immediately obvious.
