​

1. Choose Your Setup

Standalone

Open MOXI directly. Use the MIDI OUT selector in the header to route MIDI to any connected device or virtual instrument. Tap ▶ to start the internal clock.

AUv3 Plugin (Recommended)

Load MOXI as a MIDI Effect in your host (AUM, LoopyPro, Logic for iPad). MOXI will sync to the host's transport and tempo automatically — the play/stop button in MOXI's header becomes a status display only. Route each of MOXI's 8 output cables to the synths or instruments of your choice in the host's routing grid.

 

2. The Interface at a Glance

| Area | What It Does |

|---|---|

| Header | Mode selector (SEQ / PLAY), BPM display, Root & Scale, MIDI status, transport |

| Track Panel (left) | 8 tracks — select, mute, and assign MIDI channels |

| Step Grid (center) | The note grid for the active track and pattern |

| Hamburger Menu (☰) | MIDI channels, sessions, export, background play, links |

 

3. Programming Your First Pattern

1. Tap a track in the Track Panel on the left to select it (Track 1 is selected by default).

2. The Step Grid shows 8 rows (scale notes) × 16 steps. Tap any cell to toggle a note on or off.

3. Each track has 16 patterns (PAT 1–16). Tap a pattern number above the grid to switch patterns.

4. Hit ▶ (standalone) or press Play in your host (AUv3) to start sequencing.

 

Tips:

- Velocity — with a note active, press and drag upward on a cell to increase velocity; drag down to decrease.

- Note length — press and drag right on an active cell to stretch it across multiple steps.

- Scroll — swipe up/down on the grid to scroll through scale notes; use the X-offset controls to scroll through longer sequences.

 

4. Tracks & MIDI Channels

MOXI has 8 independent tracks, each with its own MIDI channel assignment.

- Tap a track in the left panel to make it active (the step grid shows that track's pattern).

- Tap the mute button on any track to silence it without stopping the sequencer.

- MIDI channel assignments can be changed in the hamburger menu → MIDI Channel Assignments.

 

In AUv3 mode, each track maps to a dedicated output cable (Cable 1 = Track 1, etc.), giving you full per-track routing in your host's MIDI grid.

 

5. Scales & Root Note

Select a Root note and Scale in the header. The step grid automatically displays only the notes in that scale, making every cell a musically valid choice. MOXI supports 13 scales including Major, Natural Minor, Pentatonic, Blues, and all standard modes.

 

6. PLAY Mode

Switch to PLAY mode (header) to use MOXI as a touch instrument. The chromatic pad layout lets you play notes live into the sequencer — tapped notes are recorded into the Inspiration buffer and auto-populate Pattern 16 (the INSP pattern), giving you a capture of anything you play.

 

7. Sessions

Save and recall your work at any time using the Sessions section in the hamburger menu. Enter a name and tap SAVE. Sessions store all 8 tracks, all 16 patterns per track, BPM, root, scale, and MIDI channel assignments.

 

8. Exporting MIDI

Open the hamburger menu and tap EXPORT MIDI FILE. MOXI exports all 8 tracks as a standard `.midi` file, which you can share directly to any DAW or file location.

 

9. Background Play (Standalone Only)

Enable Background Play in the hamburger menu to keep MOXI's sequencer running when the app is minimized. Useful when MOXI is feeding other standalone apps via virtual MIDI.
