Midinous

Elevator Pitch

Midinous

Grid-based non-linear deterministic MIDI sequencer that controls like a game but generates ideas like a jam partner

Product Description


How It’s Innovative

Midinous allows artists to think non-linearly to design and build sequences that can be equal parts unpredictable and familiar. The blend of determinism with generative aspects makes Midinous a unique tool that is accessible to musicians and non-musicians alike. The included logic gate system adds even more control over several aspects of how a sequence will play.

Most Inspiring Use Cases

I’ve seen musicians use it to control their entire studio, from Eurorack synths to VSTs. I have seen artists use it to control lights and DJ sets. I’ve seen avid users create things like clocks, full adders, and computers using the built-in logic tools! My software is taken to new heights I didn’t even think possible when people share their projects with me.

Expansion Plans

I want Midinous to run on hardware, ultimately, potentially even with a proprietary hardware device running a custom firmware. I also want to develop an open source headless version which can run Midinous documents so that it can run on something like a Daisy in the modular world. In the short term, I plan to add different kinds of place-able objects, such as counters, switches, and more.

Commercialization

I currently sell Midinous on Steam, but plan to branch out to several other digital distributors in 2024 (such as itch.io, Gumroad, Splice, and more (if they’ll have me)).
