Watch How MIDI Xplorer Works

See how fast a raw folder of MIDI files becomes searchable, playable, transformable, and DAW-ready.

Every Control, Explained

From libraries and smart search to the piano roll, scale keyboard, and playback controls — here is the full MIDI Xplorer workspace at a glance.

Everything You Need to
Control a Huge MIDI Library

MIDI Xplorer is built for producers, composers, and MIDI library power users who need musical metadata, fast preview, reliable DAW import, and idea generation in one macOS tool.

Scan and Organize Libraries

Add custom MIDI folders, scan recursively in the background, pause or refresh libraries, and relaunch faster with a persistent file cache.

Find by Musical Metadata

Search and filter by file name, detected key, scale type, extracted tags, BPM, duration, instrument type, genre-style hints, or mood.

Analyze MIDI Musically

Detect key, scale, confidence, chords, single-note files, BPM, duration, note range, tracks, timing, events, and filename metadata.

Preview in a Piano Roll

Play, pause, seek, shuffle, repeat, zoom, pan, inspect hovered notes, highlight active notes, and view chords while browsing.

Transform Before Export

Transpose, scale velocity, quantize, add swing, use tuplets or mixed grids, and reset transforms without damaging the original MIDI.

Generate AI Companion Parts

Create scale-safe melody, bass, chords, percussion, harmony, variation, arpeggio, and counter-melody files when AI is enabled.

More Than a File Browser:
A Complete MIDI Workflow Hub

MIDI Xplorer combines library management, musical analysis, playback, transformation, DAW handoff, and optional AI generation without forcing every feature into your first session.

Library Management

  • Add, refresh, disable, remove, and reveal MIDI libraries
  • Use All, Favorites, Recently Played, and AI Playlist views
  • Copy file paths, rescan key detection, and inspect file details

Deep MIDI Analysis

  • Recognizes .mid and .midi files with broad scale coverage
  • Reads filename keys, scales, instruments, genre tags, and moods
  • Surfaces confidence, chords, note ranges, timing, and event data

Preview and Transform

  • Built-in playback, piano roll, transport, shortcuts, and history
  • Non-destructive transpose, velocity, quantize, swing, and tuplets
  • Temporary drag copies for reliable DAW and Finder import

Optional AI Workflow

  • Enable AI only when wanted, with on-demand model downloads
  • Generate 1 to 4 variations per selected musical part
  • Use on-device generation or a built-in scale-safe fallback

From Folder to
Finished MIDI Idea

01

Add Your MIDI Libraries

Point MIDI Xplorer at local or external folders. It recursively scans standard MIDI files, analyzes them in the background, and keeps your library state persistent.

02

Search by Musical Meaning

Filter by key, scale, tags, BPM, duration, instrument, mood, and sort order so a huge folder behaves like a musical database.

03

Preview and Shape It

Use the piano roll, transport, seek, zoom, transpose, velocity scaling, quantize, swing, and tuplets to test the idea before export.

04

Drag, Export, or Generate

Drag MIDI into your DAW or Finder, use host transport sync in plugin mode, or generate scale-safe AI companion parts into the AI Playlist.

A MIDI Command Center
For Large Libraries

MIDI Xplorer works as a native macOS standalone app and as a DAW MIDI utility before virtual instruments. Use it to inspect, preview, reshape, export, or generate new MIDI ideas while keeping the original file library intact.

  • Confidence-scored key and scale detection
  • Chord, note range, track, timing, and event inspection
  • Broad scale recognition including modes, blues, jazz, world, and advanced modal scales
  • Piano roll preview with live playhead and active-note highlighting
  • Quantize, swing, transpose, and velocity shaping before export
  • Optional AI generation for melodies, bass, chords, harmony, arpeggios, variations, and counter melodies
