MIDIx vs TwinPath
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
MIDIx
This app uses physics simulations to generate expressive MIDI data. Control parameters through object movement or create generative note sequences. It's a unique tool for musicians seeking organic and evolving soundscapes.
- Physics-driven MIDI CC generation
- Generative MIDI note sequencing
- AUv3 plugin support
- Customizable physics scenes
- Built-in scale library
- Real-time modulation
- Universal app for iOS and Mac

MIDIx brings a new dimension to MIDI control. Instead of programming sequences or drawing automation, you let physics do the work. Objects bounce, fall, orbit, and collide — and every movement becomes expressive MIDI data in real time. MIDIx is a universal app for iPhone, iPad and Mac, and supports AUv3 so you can use it as a plugin directly in your favorite host. Organic CC Controller The CC page gives you 8 independent physics scenes, each generating two MIDI CC values — X and Y — from the motion of a physical object, for up to 16 simultaneous CC streams. Each axis maps directly to its CC value, creating smooth, organic modulation that no LFO can replicate. Each output can be assigned to any MIDI CC parameter — or to a parameter of another scene, enabling complex modulation chains where one physics engine drives the behavior of another. Hit Freeze to instantly hold the current motion in place, perfect for locking in a value during a performance. Generative MIDI Sequencer The Notes page transforms physics into melody. Add as many objects as you want to the scene — each one bounces freely and triggers a MIDI note every time it hits the wall. Shape the motion with additional objects — Static, Bumper, Planet, and Repulsor — to create richer, more unpredictable interactions. Build evolving, generative patterns that shift organically over time. No two performances are ever the same. Define your harmonic space and select individual notes to craft any scale you need. Tap Scale Library to instantly load a preset scale: Major, Minor, Pentatonic, and many more. Features: • 8 physics scenes generating up to 16 MIDI CC streams (X and Y per scene) • Generative MIDI note sequencer with unlimited objects • Continuous or Trigger play mode, adjustable update frequency • Freeze button to instantly hold the current motion • Adjustable min/max range per scene to fine-tune CC output • Assign any CC or scene parameter as a modulation source • Static, Bumper, Planet, and Repulsor objects for richer motion • Built-in Scale Library with custom scale editing • Adjustable root note, base octave, octave count, and note duration • Notes custom mode (select the notes you want) • Preset import & export • Randomizer • Undo support • Built-in user guide • Background audio support • Full MIDI support & MIDI Mapping • Full AUv3 support — standalone or as a plugin in your favorite host • Universal app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac Questions or feedback?

- Parallel effects processing
- Simplified signal routing
- Cross-fade between effect chains
- Dual mono operation (L/R, Mid/Side)
- Switchable pre/post operation
- Compact control interface

TwinPath enables parallel effects processing using your existing Audio Units, without configuring busses or complex routings. It hides the details of managing multiple signal paths, and offers a compact, quickly accessible control interface. The result is a consistent setup you can easily recreate in any DAW, regardless of how each host handles audio routing. Among its possible applications, TwinPath pairs especially well with delay effects for dynamic performances. Shifting focus from deep editing to switching between (or blending) entire modules opens up a new perspective and new features – especially when feedback delays are involved. And of course, both approaches can be applied at the same time. Once inserted into a track’s effects chain, TwinPath handles splitting and merging audio streams and provides several convenience features. It offers two main classes of operation: CROSS-FADE • Blend between two effects chains using a single control • Switchable pre/post operation: pre mode preserves effect tails and lets feedback effects "breathe", while post mode offers instant, direct control DUAL MONO • Run different effects chains for Left/Right, Mid/Side, or a continuous blend between them • Channel mapping and FX bias are smooth, performance-friendly controls • Quick and efficient workflow replacement that overcomes functional limits of stock dual mono modes, such as restrictions on independent preset loading PLEASE NOTE: • An AUv3-compatible host is required to use this app
