01 / PLAY WITH THE POSSIBILITIES

Your loop is just
the beginning.

Stay in the moment. Move between recording, performing and arranging as your idea takes shape.

REAL APP. REAL POSSIBILITIES.
Explore the workspaces above.

CAPTURE

Keep the
good part going.

Record a MIDI phrase and let it loop. Overdub the next idea, watch your notes move around the circle, and keep building without losing the moment.

HANDS ON / GESTURE CONTROL

Get your hands
into the loop.

The circle is a performance surface. Shape the phrase with two fingers, or take the playhead for a spin.

TWO FINGERS / LOOP TRIMMING

Find the part
you want to keep.

Rotate with two fingers to trim or shift the loop start. Pinch to adjust the end. Reshape a phrase directly on the circle while locked layers keep their timing.

  • RotateAdjust the start of the loop.
  • PinchAdjust the end of the loop.

ONE FINGER / MIDI SCRUBBING

Play the motion.
Hear the possibilities.

Drag around the circle to scrub MIDI forward or backward, auditioning the notes you cross. Release with momentum, or press and hold for a MIDI Tape Stop.

  • Drag & releaseScrub and throw with adjustable inertia.
  • Press & holdSlow the loop with configurable pitch bend.

02 / SMALL DETAILS. BIG POSSIBILITIES.

A complete toolkit.
An open-ended instrument.

From the first note to the final take, everything you need to keep an idea moving.

Record & organize

Live MIDI looping and overdubbing, projects and loop slots. Extend overdubs, repeat short takes, and undo as you explore.

Slice & transpose

Play 4, 8, 16 or 32 slices, or detect note onsets. Combine slicing with chromatic and scale-based pitch changes in Simple or Advanced layouts.

Shape the groove

Quantize, swing, humanize timing and velocity. Adjust note length, repeat, density, velocity and tempo to find a different feel.

Multiply the movement

Add playheads with their own speed, direction, delay, pitch, MIDI channel and level. Create echoes, canons and polymetric patterns.

Layer with intention

Build up overdubs, mute layers and protect a foundation with locks. Trim the editable material while locked layers keep their timing.

Keep the variation

Record Slices and Pitch performances into a new slot. Use Bake to commit edits and extra playheads to the current loop and reset the modifiers.

Arrange in Graph

Connect slots into evolving sequences with branching routes and probabilities. Plan recording paths and harmonize loops to a shared tempo.

Capture Audio Freeze

Freeze and stack audio layers with mute, solo, level and lock controls. Capture multiple channels with compatible audio hardware.

Keep your expression

MPE support preserves per-note pitch bend, pressure and timbre. Loop expressive performances alongside conventional MIDI instruments.

Trim & scrub by touch

Rotate and pinch with two fingers to trim the loop. Drag to scrub MIDI, release with inertia, or hold for MIDI Tape Stop. Explore gesture control.

Connect your setup

USB and Bluetooth MIDI, device and per-loop routing, MIDI Thru and feedback protection. MIDI Clock, transport sync and MIDI Learn keep your gear together.

Take it with you

Record a stereo WAV performance. Import and export MIDI files, export Freeze stems in their native channel layouts, and customize your Quick Tools.

03 / PART OF YOUR SETUP

Your instruments.
A new way to play them.

Bring your MIDI controller, a hardware synth or a MIDI-capable iOS app. Midilo captures the performance and sends it back into your world of sound.

THE DETAILS / TECHNICAL OVERVIEW

Everything,
at a glance.

A complete feature reference for planning your setup and finding your next workflow.

Platform & workspaces
iPhone and iPad. Loop, Graph, Perform and Editor workspaces; circular MIDI visualization, swipeable Tools pages and customizable Quick Tools.
Recording & projects
Live MIDI recording, looping and overdubbing; projects and loop slots; extended overdubs, automatic repetition of short takes, configurable behavior after recording, undo and redo.
Loop trimming gestures
Two-finger rotation trims or shifts the loop start; pinching adjusts the loop end. Rotation preserves the selected grid. Locked layers retain their timing through trimming and after unlocking.
MIDI scrubbing & Tape Stop
Circular dragging for forward and reverse scrubbing; optional note audition and pitch bend. Release inertia with friction and throw-strength controls. Hold for Tape Stop, with configurable bend range, stop time and resume time; independent up/down scrub bend ranges.
Slice performance
4, 8, 16 or 32 divisions, onset detection and manual slice capture. Loop or One Shot playback and Grid/Free triggering. Pad editing with rotation for start and pinch for end. Keep a slice playing while switching to Pitch.
Pitch & harmony
Semitone, octave, key and scale controls; scale-degree performance; Simple and Advanced layouts; nearest and relative pitch modes, approach tones, secondary dominants and minor functions.
Timing & dynamics
Quantization, swing, timing and velocity humanization, velocity shaping, note-length controls, repeat, density and tempo adjustments.
Auxiliary playheads
Independent speed, direction, delay, pitch, MIDI channel and level. Use additional heads for echoes, reverse movement, canons and polymetric structures.
Layers & Bake
Overdub layer controls with mute and lock. Bake timing, pitch, velocity, swing, trims and auxiliary playheads into the current loop; humanize and density become a fixed variation. Modifiers reset and Bake establishes a new editing and undo baseline.
Performance capture
Record combined Slices and Pitch transformations into a new loop slot. Record complete performance mixes as stereo WAV files.
Graph arrangement
Connected loop slots, branching transitions and probabilities. Define playback paths or a recording route through empty slots. Tempo harmonization brings loops captured at different speeds to a shared performance tempo.
Audio Freeze & Stack
Layered audio capture and stacking, with individual mute, solo, level and lock controls. Select audio inputs and outputs; optional frozen-audio repitching and background audio. Multichannel capture requires compatible audio hardware.
MIDI & expression
CoreMIDI / MIDI 1.0, MPE support for per-note pitch bend, pressure and timbre, and MIDI channel controls. USB and Bluetooth MIDI connections for compatible controllers, hardware instruments and iOS apps.
Routing & synchronization
Device routing, per-loop MIDI routing, MIDI Event Matrix, MIDI Thru and feedback protection. MIDI Clock and transport synchronization; Bluetooth pairing and route selection.
Hardware control & playback options
MIDI Learn and controller commands for transport, arming, capture, Freeze, Clear, Panic, Undo and loop slots. Pedal-off-on-stop behavior, flam protection with adjustable window, CC visualization and CC carry repair.
Import & export
Standard MIDI File import and MIDI loop export; stereo WAV performance recordings; Audio Freeze stem export preserving native channel layouts.
Experimental options
Optional Turntable Visualizer in Experimental Features.

MIDI playback needs a connected sound destination, such as a hardware synth or a MIDI-capable instrument app. MPE expression requires compatible instruments and routing. See the App Store listing for current device requirements and availability.

A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS

Before you
press play.

What is Midilo?+

Midilo is a MIDI-first live looper for iPhone and iPad. Record phrases, transform them as you perform, and connect loop slots into evolving arrangements. Audio Freeze adds captured audio textures to your MIDI ideas.

What do I need to make sound?+

For MIDI playback, connect a sound destination such as a hardware synth or a MIDI-capable iOS instrument app. Use a MIDI controller to play phrases into Midilo. Audio Freeze also needs an available audio input; multichannel capture requires compatible audio hardware.

Does it work with MPE controllers?+

Yes. Midilo supports MPE performances with per-note pitch bend, pressure and timbre. Use compatible instruments and routing to hear that expression. Conventional MIDI controllers work too.

Can I move my ideas into a DAW?+

Yes. Import and export Standard MIDI Files, export Audio Freeze stems in their native channel layouts, or record your complete performance mix as a stereo WAV file.

Where can I get it?+

Midilo is available on the App Store for iPhone and iPad. Check the listing for current availability, device requirements and pricing in your region.

FOLLOW THAT FIRST IDEA.

next loop takes you.
