High Quality MIDI File Player: MIDIculous is the most feature-rich music learning software for students and teachers. At its core it is a high quality MIDI File Player where you can use the stock General MIDI soundest or you can use AUv3 apps already installed on your iPad. ————— Learning Tool for Musicians: If you upgrade to the Pro Expansion, you will gain the ability to load virtually any MIDI, Audio, and video file to be able to change the pitch, key, transpose, and loop in order to learn from the various different media sources. We recommend trying to find the MIDI file as this is the only file format that allows you to view the actual note data using our beautiful virtual instruments. ————— Proprietary LMV and LMS Files: LMV and LMS respectively stands for Live-MIDI-VIDO and Live-MIDI-Sync. Out of the box, MIDIculous can play these files for free. These are proprietary files that can contain a combination of MIDI, Audio, and/or video at the same time. So picture this super learning file that contains multi-channel MIDI and a video file all in one, where a student can see the video AND see the notes of the MIDI in sync at the same time, such that when the user wants to change the pitch, loop, or slow down the video to learn, all of the comments are precisely in sync with one another. A teacher who purchases the Pro version will be able to make this proprietary file and send this file to all of their students and the student can view this file using the FREE player. This makes for the most amazing supplemental tool and resource for their students. ———— Online Learning Display: With the most beautifully designed virtual instruments (Bass, Guitar, Drums, Keyboard, Organ) a teacher can display or project their screen through avenues such as Zoom, Ecamm, and OBS for a virtual seminar or session with their student. Allowing the student to see the animated colorization of instruments allows for a better teaching and learning experience. ———— The FREE Versions Allows: 1. FREE Version plays LMS and LMV files 2.

The colors are just butt ugly man. Your previous version was much better. This just looks dated and awkward. IF you add the ability to RECORD midi wow ! You will be replacing tons of apps out there. Now, if you add the ability to load audio (as you currently can ) but also in a separate track load and record midi …I know lots of people will pay some serious money for this app. Please Fix your interface though ;) ### 4/5 — Great product! Just one fix for guitar sheet music *2021-10-13* Hey! Great product you all made here! I really find it useful for teaching. I have just one request: can you make it possible to transpose the staff for guitar music? Guitar music is written one octave up, and I want to be able the show students in real time what notes to play, but the staff doesn’t line up when compared to available guitar music. This would be a big help— thank you! ### 1/5 — No sound. *2021-09-01* Just purchased the pro feature and I tried to open some standard modi files and there’s no sound. **Developer response:** Please check and make sure none of the Channels are Muted or Soloed. We went back and checked the app and this will happen, if you accidentally soloed a channel that is not used. ### 5/5 — Awesome Application *2021-09-01* Awesome application and great for midi study of songs! ## Frequently asked questions about MIDIculous Learning Software ### What can the free version of MIDIculous do?
