Playing

Getting started

Use Mother MIDI to play chords and arpeggios on a synth, a sampler, or a DAW. It sends MIDI notes and makes no sound on its own.

Connecting an instrument

  1. Connect the instrument over USB, or open a music app on the same device.
  2. Match the channel in the toolbar to your instrument’s.
  3. Play a key.

To play into a DAW on a computer, see Connecting to a Mac.

The toolbar

  • Settings is on the left.
  • The tempo and channel sit in the centre. Tap either to change it.
  • The arpeggiator is on the right.
