Motio
Read full descriptionHide full description
Your body is the instrument. Motio is a motion synth for iPhone. Move, tilt, and gesture to shape sound in real time, then go deeper with BODY tracking, FIELD, LiDAR, MIDI, AUv3, and Sound Editor modes. It is not a beat maker or a DAW-style editor. Motio is built for the moment when you want to play sound directly: rotate your wrist, lean into a gesture, bring a hand into camera view, or map motion to MIDI. What you can do: - Play expressive synth presets with device motion - Use BODY tracking for camera-based control - Explore FIELD and magnetic-field control - Perform LiDAR gestures on supported iPhone models - Send MIDI output to compatible music setups - Use Motio as an AUv3 instrument in supported hosts - Open the Sound Editor to shape presets and mappings Motio Pro unlocks all performance modes, every preset, Sound Editor controls, MIDI, and AUv3 instrument access. The annual plan includes a 7-day free trial; monthly is available without a trial. Designed for musicians, sound designers, experimental performers, and curious creators who want an instrument that starts with movement instead of a timeline.

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MidiMotion at none against Motio's 2. MidiMotion also leads on iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
