MIDILODY: Generative MIDI Sequencer & Looper
MIDILODY is a generative MIDI sequencer and looper designed to inspire musicians with evolving, musically rich loops. It excels at creating original sequences that evolve over time, perfect for ambient textures, live performances, or sparking new musical ideas.
Designed by Musicians, for Musicians
We’ve invested significant effort into MIDILODY’s layout and user experience. As daily users ourselves, we’ve ensured it’s straightforward and intuitive, allowing you to focus on creativity.
Seamless Integration
MIDILODY thrives when paired with MIDI routing options from your AUv3 host, enabling the creation of intricate, evolving textures across multiple AUv3 instruments.
It’s easy. It’s fun.
MIDILODY isn’t just easy to use — it’s uniquely inspiring. With every session, it sparks new ideas and unexpected musical directions. Whether you’re producing ambient soundscapes or live looping, it just might become your favorite creative companion.
History
I’ve been playing music since my childhood and have developed a strong bond with modular gear (Eurorack), semi-modular synths, and grooveboxes. A few years ago, as a way to keep playing regularly and explore new sonic landscapes, I decided to start my YouTube channel: Royale Fougard and share my experiments. Then, having a game development and software development background, I thought it would be fun to play my instruments differently. I’m a great fan of the iPad, which is a super portable option. That’s why I decided to create and share Apps I would use myself in my videos.

About Royale Fougard
My name is François Nicaise. I love music. I play every day—mostly DAWless though I enjoy the ease of use of my iPad and I am a great fan of modular systems.
I have some background in Video games @ThinkSlow, @FrenchCows, @MotionTwin.
I love game design, modular systems and I’m always happy to explore and create new ways to bring ideas to light. If I can help spark your creativity, then my goal has been reached!
