What's your favorite MIDI app on iOS?
Mine is TONALY (and Firo4).
Why TONALY? It's super easy to make a song using TONALY. The interface is gorgeous, and I can get quick inspirations from it.
Let's take a look
Firo4 allows you to make live loops style songs that can be used in apps like Garageband and Gadget 2. There's a free version called Firo4-CE which allows you to do the same thing (except without IAA support, but you can export the MIDI).
But I'm curious to hear your thoughts. What MIDI apps has helped you with your music production?

I know it’s almost cliche at this point but....Drambo. The workflow is perfect for what I do and just fits in seamlessly with what I’m doing and it is incredibly easy to midi map on

I love using MidiSTEPs auv3s throughout an AUM project
Pure Acid is my favorite midi sequencer, but only the standalone version outputs midi.
ChordMaps2. My most used midi app hands down. Pure inspiration.
I really want Scaler 2 for iOS in one package !
Drambo vs Mosaic. Depends, they compliment each other by having a very different approach.
I don't consider Drambo a midi app (more like a sound/sample generator with midi capabilities).
Purely for midi I think my favourites are SPA and Fugue.

however it is a shame that you can’t copy/paste patterns in advance.
That is a Chuck Norris leg kick to my workflow 🦿💥😫
I was hoping someone might mention TONALITY. Been curious about the app, and i’ve been looking into it a bit. Ah well...
Meme approved!
@SpookyZoo Agreed on all 3. Especially Xequence 2. Haven’t looked into all the features though.
@ltf3 - I’m guessing it’s a guitar MIDI app from the name. Or am I thinking of a different app?
@Poppadocrock - Great choices. Surprised about Beatonal. How did you tame it so that it doesn’t randomly send MIDI to other apps?
@White - Great choices. Been a while. Thanks again for the sneak previews on apps.
@echoopera - I get Drambo, because. Surprised about Modstep. What’s your main use case with modstep? I have the app but i’m looking for how I can effectively use it.
@RolandGarros - Haven’t heard of MidiStep. Very interesting. Thanks for the tip.
@jolico - Yeah, pure Acid is amazing. Actually didn’t know you could use the standalone for MIDI Out. I usually use the AUv3.
@WTK - You know, I was almost going to get Chordmaps 2. I think it was one of the first apps I saw when i was looking into iOS music production.
@Jumpercollins - Yeah, Scaler seems to be one of the more popular MIDI apps, especially for Ableton producers. It’s crazy.
@d4d0ug - Fugue machine. How could I have forgotten it? Got it on sale a few months back but i haven’t looked into it extensively. Have you used iBassist? How does it compare to Rozeta bassline?
@SpartanClownTide - Why choose when you can make your own MIDI app. Approved!!!
@Vlad11 - Yeah, Step Poly Arp is really great. Haven’t used a lot of arpeggiators. Maybe this is a sign...
@Lorichs - Does it allow you to import MIDI as well?
Modstep is a classic Clip based Midi sequencer that i enjoy using with Hardware gear and Synths hosted in AUM.
Autony, based on usage
Drambo + StreamByter (for converting to the messages Drambo doesn't support)
I'm more of an improv person so...
MiRack - Making crazy cv generators go through S&Hs then through quantisers to midi out
Xynthesizr - My original (random) poly pattern generator
Rozetta - Instant soul/dance/house/soca baseline machine/ transform into Kaytranada
Autony, Rozeta, StepBud and now miRack.
easily thumbjam
Oh and i enjoy SunVox as well
@seonnthaproducer Tonality is a great app and incredibly useful. I use it more for reference than anything because it’s so packed with music theory and the developer is constantly adding new features. I don’t use it all that much however when it comes to actually performing/recording. The chord pads are great but no piano roll or sequencer of any kind or any way to arpeggiate without other apps and it can be a bit lengthy to create chord layouts. It’s still an incredibly useful tool either way.
I have been tempted to get Tonality but I've got Suggester which covers a lot of the same ground.
iPhone only so fugue maybe for an idea but Xequence all the way for full track with everything automated.
I forgot Tonality but would definitely add to my list. I use the auv3 pads a lot.
