MIDIx - Physics MIDI Generator

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.
