Designed for Musicians

A mathematically sound generator with music theory foundations, designed to streamline your creative process.

Built on Mathematics

Random within boundaries. Generate triads, 7ths, and 9ths across dozens of diatonic, melodic minor, and synthetic scales. Find the exact voicings you need to spark your next track.

Built on Music Theory

Visualize the theory behind the audio. Motivic MIDI features real-time visual musical staff notation and an interactive piano roll that explicitly reveals the harmony as you play.

Zero-Latency Audio

Audition chords over 4-bar loops with diverse rhythmic variations using a lightweight, wait-free audio engine designed for professional-grade stability and latency-free performance.

MIDI Options

Save and export sessions as standard .mid files, or route MIDI directly to external hardware synthesizers, virtual instruments, and PC DAWs in real time.

Noticing different chord names in your DAW?

If you route Motivic MIDI to external software like GarageBand, Logic, or your desktop DAW, you might see the DAW interpreting your generated chords under different names. This is completely expected behavior driven by the app's professional voice-leading algorithms.
