• Added a new Accomp Extra Bass Every N Bars setting. This setting allows you to add an extra bass note to the accompaniment every 1, 2, 4 or 8 bars. The note is the root note of the chord being played on the bar and has a whole bar duration. When a value for this setting is chosen the octave for the bass note can be picked. • Minor fixes and improvements

4.79

September 5, 2024

• Added a Multi Chord Bars option. With this setting you can determine if the bars of the motif can have multiple chords of the chord progression in the same bar or not. When this setting is set to Def, the app will randomly choose if the motif will have multiple chords of the chord progression in the same bar or not (low percentage). When this setting is set to Off there will only be one chord of the chord progression in a bar. When this setting is set to On there will be more than one chord of the chord progression in a bar. • Minor bug fixes and improvements

This isn't allowed. • Fixed crash that can occur when Multi MIDI Channel for Accompaniments is selected and Melody Grace Notes are On.

More

Description of Piano Motifs

• Let the musical muses of Piano Motifs inspire your device to generate some original and beautiful motifs (short melodies). • Selected as the Favorite MIDI Generator App two years in a row by the iOS Music Production community! • Check out the music that Piano Motifs can generate at: https://soundcloud.com/azul-3d • For Piano Motifs demos and tutorials: https://www.youtube.com/@azul3dapps • Create original, catchy and inspiring MIDI loops at the touch of a button. • No musical knowledge or skill is necessary to create completely new and original music. 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 24 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). • Many options when exporting a MIDI file or one MIDI file per track. 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 - 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.

  • Deceptive pricing strategy

    I just bought the app. It may be good. I don’t know yet but I am giving it a low rating for the deceptive pricing strategy the developer is engaging is. If you want to use it with any other thing you have to buy both midi out and au3 as separate plugins.

    Just include them and raise the price to begin with. You can’t build trust with your customers when you add basic functionality as in app purchases. Use IAP for the extra bells and whistles.

    That being said. I hope it’s a good app, just wish the real price for basic functionality was more upfront.

    Developer Response

    Thank you for your feedback. The pricing is designed to provide flexibility. Both MIDI Out and AUv3 were added after the initial release, and their development required significant time and resources. Rather than increase the base price for everyone, we offer these features as optional in-app purchases so users can choose what best fits their needs—whether that’s MIDI Out, AUv3, both, or neither. We hope you’ll find the app’s functionality and development effort reflect its value. Enjoy using Piano Motifs!
  • Hello

    I am asking the developer to drop down the tempo to 2 instead of 20 being the lowest.
  • 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.
