MIDIBOY

How it works

from "i've got nothing" to a loop on the track in about ten seconds.

01 · SCAN

point it at your folder. walk away.

MIDIBOY reads every MIDI file you own and works out what each one is: melody, chords, drums or 808, plus its key, tempo, length and feel. The first scan takes a few minutes. Every one after that is instant.

Finds the duplicates packs leave everywhere
Colour-codes every part, with a label so it never relies on colour alone
Read-only. Your files stay exactly where they are

02 · SHUFFLE OR SEARCH

can't pick? spin it.

SHUFFLE runs the reel and lands you on something you forgot you had. Every card shows the actual notes, so you know what's coming before it plays. Or just type what you want.

03 · FIT + DRAG

bend it to your beat. drop it in.

Turn KEY, OCTAVE and TEMPO and the file changes before it leaves. SNAP pulls stray notes into your scale. Then drag FIT + DRAG onto any track. Hit AUTO and every file plays the moment you land on it.

Transposes the shortest way round
Plays through its own sound, or your instrument with HOST
Saves a copy of every pick, fitted

Built like hardware

a MIDI browser that feels like gear.

Every control has a job, every state is obvious, and it lives inside your DAW, not in another window you forget about.

Lives in your DAW

VST3 and AU plugin plus a standalone app. It reads your project's tempo, and the spacebar stays yours.

Search like you talk

Type "dark chords F minor" or "no drums". It already knows what every file is, because the scan worked it out.

Every part, colour-coded

The type shows at a glance.

Library audit

How much you own, how much of it is copies, and which packs take up the room.

Crates + HIDE PRO

Save the keepers. Hide the packs you never touch, or anything with "unison" in the name.

Two finishes

Black anodized or raw steel, switched from the footer. Pick the one that matches your rig.

FAQ

questions, answered.

Does it touch my files?

No. MIDIBOY only reads. It never moves, renames, deletes or uploads anything. When you FIT a file, it saves a new copy to Music › MIDIBOY Picks and leaves the original alone.

My Mac says MIDIBOY "can't be opened"?

That's macOS being careful with new apps. Click Done, open System Settings › Privacy & Security, scroll down and click Open Anyway next to MIDIBOY, then Open. You only do it once, and the plugin works in your DAW after that.

Which DAWs does it work in?

The VST3 plugin loads in Ableton Live, FL Studio, Cubase, Bitwig, REAPER, Studio One and Reason. The AU loads in Logic Pro and GarageBand. For anything else, including Pro Tools, run the MIDIBOY app next to your DAW and drag files across.

Mac or Windows?

macOS right now, on Apple Silicon and Intel. Windows is next, and your PRO key will work on it too.

What's the difference between Free and PRO?

Free does the core loop: scan, shuffle, fit, drag, audit. PRO adds full search, the key, bars, tempo and feel filters, HIDE and crates. It's a one-time payment with no subscription.

How many computers can I use PRO on?

Two. Moving to a new machine? Click PRO, then DEACTIVATE THIS COMPUTER, and your key is free to use on the new one.

Do I need to be online?

Only to activate PRO. After that it checks in every few days and keeps working offline for up to 30 days.

Where does the MIDI come from?

Your own drive. MIDIBOY organizes the packs and files you already have and doesn't ship any MIDI of its own.
