A simple alternative to Audio Evolution, FluidSynth and Synth Module.
The same .sf2 files you already use, on a screen
built for playing: arm the instrument, set the fader and play.
- Your SoundFonts work here. Import your
.sf2files and pick the preset by name. - Listen before saving. The preview plays an arpeggio, or a groove if the sound is a drum kit.
- Clean layers. Split, transpose and EQ per instrument, right from the mixer.
- Scenes and charts at hand. Switch scenes from your controller with the chord chart open beside you.
Why it is worth it
Less gear in the way. More control when you play.
MIDILIVE does not try to be a full studio. It focuses on what live musicians need: open a project, load sounds, adjust layers and get reliable response from the controller.
Bring your sounds
Import .sf2 SoundFonts, listen before saving and
reuse the same library across projects.
Stage control
Arm instruments, move faders, switch scenes and trigger pads without digging through long menus mid-song.
Real mobility
Android and iOS, USB or Bluetooth MIDI, and everything stored on the device so you can play where there is no signal.
Features
Everything the app does, in the order you use it.
From preparing at home to the last chord: all of this is already in the app, and almost all of it works on the free plan too.
Before you play
Prepare your setup calmly and get on stage with no surprises.
- SoundFont library Search, filter and see each file's size and which projects use it.
- Sound preview Listen to the preset before saving, from the app or from your controller.
- Device test On Android, measures your device's audio headroom and applies the recommended sample rate, buffer and polyphony.
- Stage checklist Checks media volume, brightness, screen always on, Do Not Disturb and airplane mode before you start.
-
Export and share projects
Creates a
.zipthat can carry the sounds and controller mapping to another device.
While you play
What you need mid-song is one tap away.
- Performance mixer Volume, mute, arm, pan and a meter per instrument. Drag to reorder.
- Scenes with smooth transitions Save the state of your setup and switch from the app or your controller, with an adjustable fade.
- Drum Pads Banks per instrument, loop, choke groups, full-screen mode and pads that play audio files.
- Chord charts and notes A side panel next to the mixer, with search, text size and chords highlighted automatically.
- Metronome 60 to 220 BPM, tap tempo, 1 to 12 beats per bar and screen borders that flash on the beat.
- Mix recorder Record what you played as WAV, without the metronome click, and share it from the app.
Sound and controller
Fine-tune every layer and your keyboard.
- Split, transpose and velocity Key range, transpose up to 24 semitones, velocity range and sustain and pitch bend filters per instrument.
- EQ, filter and reverb per instrument 3-band EQ, filter and reverb with 6 rooms, from small room to cathedral.
- Protected master EQ, compressor and limiter on the output, with automatic volume reduction on clipping.
- MIDI learn and smart faders Map volume, preset, pan, mute, EQ, scenes and recording to your controller's knobs and faders.
- Smart Sustain A virtual pedal for playing without one: separates bass from chords and keeps the melody clean.

FAQ
Quick answers before the first test.
Do I need to pay to try it?
No. The Free plan has no deadline and includes every feature. PRO only removes the limits on projects, instruments, recording length and controllers.
Is PRO a subscription?
No. PRO is a one-time purchase through Google Play or the App Store. It stays unlocked on your account and works offline. The price is shown in the store.
What does the free plan limit?
1 project, 2 instruments per project, recordings of up to 10 minutes and 1 MIDI controller at a time. Scenes, Drum Pads, FX, metronome, chord charts, mappings and export are all included. The example project counts as your project: edit it or delete it to create another.
Do I need SoundFonts to get started?
No. The app comes with a freely licensed acoustic piano and an example project ready to play. For other sounds, import .sf2 files you have the right to use.
Which files does the app accept?
.sf2 SoundFonts for instruments. Drum Pads can also play .mp3 and .wav audio files. SF3 and SFZ are not supported.
Does it work without internet?
Yes. Projects, sounds and recordings stay on the device, and PRO works offline too.
Does it work with USB and Bluetooth MIDI?
Yes, on Android and iOS, as long as the device, adapter and controller support that connection type. On Android, USB connects on its own when you plug the controller in.
Do I need an adapter?
For a USB controller on Android, usually yes: an OTG adapter. For Bluetooth, the controller needs Bluetooth MIDI support.
Can I use two keyboards at once?
Yes, with PRO. Each instrument picks which controller plays it, and scenes and the master can be tied to a specific controller. Free allows 1 controller at a time.
Can my phone handle it?
It depends on the device and how many sounds you load. On Android, the Device test measures audio headroom and suggests sample rate, buffer and polyphony. Install for free and test your own setup before buying.
Is there latency between key and sound?
Latency depends on the device and the buffer you pick. The app shows the latency of each buffer option so you can balance response and stability.
Which languages does the app support?
English, Portuguese and Spanish. You can switch the language in Settings.
