• There are no preset melodies. Melodies are generated algorithmically. The melodic possibilities are endless.

• Set the music tempo or select the key, scale, time signature, octave range, number of bars, melody constraints, melody note frequency and accompaniment style for your motif.

• Option to generate Swing rhythm for the melody, either Shuffle or Hard Swing.

• Program your own chord progressions and let Piano Motifs generate an accompaniment and melody for them.

• Generation of a 3rd track with the option of it being a sustained chord per bar, sustained chord per multiple bars or a drone tone. Ideal for strings, choirs or pads.

• Share audio or MIDI through iMessages, e-mail, Whatsapp or AirDrop. Save audio, MIDI or .motif file to your device's file system.

• AUv3 MIDI Plug-In In-App Purchase:
Incorporate Piano Motifs seemlessly in your workflow by instantiating it once or multiple times in an app that can host AUv3 MIDI Plug-Ins, for example: AUM, AudioBus 3, ApeMatrix, Drambo or EG Nodes. Please note that Piano Motifs as an AUv3 MIDI Plug-In will not play any sound by itself, it generates MIDI that can be routed to other apps and effects instantiated in a host. IMPORTANT: GarageBand does not support MIDI only Plug-ins, so the AUv3 will not work in GarageBand.

• AUv3 MIDI Plug-In features include:
- Ability to play Piano Motifs in sync and out of sync with the host.
- State saving functionality.
- Independent programmable MIDI channels for melody, accompaniment, optional third track, and optional melody harmony track.
- Interactive octave shifting for melody and accompaniment.
- Controllable Melody and Accompaniment Velocity parameters.
- Start Delay and BPM multiple with respect to the Host in Sync mode.

•  MIDI Out In-App Purchase: 
Play the music generated by Piano Motifs on your favorite synthesizer, DAW, a connect/route/mix app like AUM, or any app that has Virtual MIDI Destination (MIDI In) capabilities. IMPORTANT: Before purchasing please be aware that Piano Motifs DOES NOT OFFER Ableton Link functionality.

• MIDI Out In-App Purchase features include: 
- Programmable delay for the start of a motif
- Independent programmable MIDI channels for melody, accompaniment and an optional third track
- MIDI Out settings are saved between Piano Motifs sessions

• Piano Motifs chooses a music key from many different scales and an accompaniment from a varied set of accompaniments. Piano Motifs then uses its musical theory algorithms to overlay a melody in the chosen key and accompaniment. Piano Motifs are short, they go from around  16 seconds to around 30 seconds.

Version 4.65 release notes

• Added Experimental Accomp Style. When you choose this accompaniment a popup screen will be displayed where you can select the notes of the scale to be played (1-7), how often they will be played (Every) and with what initial delay they will be played (Delay). You can also select if you want the notes to be part of the Tonic Scale or the notes be part of the Chord that is being played on a certain bar. There is also a randomize button (dice) where the app will randomize all the Settings. • Fixed MIDI Out Screen UI for small iPhone devices (Compact Width - Compact Height).
