HandCompose: MIDI Studio

Touch-based multitrack MIDI sequencer and DAW. Compose, edit, and export songs.

HandCompose turns your phone or tablet into a portable music studio. It's a
touch-first multitrack MIDI sequencer and DAW (digital audio workstation) that
lets you sketch an idea, build it into a full arrangement, and export a standard
MIDI file — all from the device in your pocket.

Lay down clips on the timeline, fine-tune every note in the piano roll, pick
instruments from a General MIDI sound set, and hit play. Everything is powered
by a bundled FluidSynth software synthesizer running on a low-latency audio
engine, so what you hear responds instantly to your touch.


WHAT YOU CAN DO

• Multitrack arrangement — Build songs from multiple tracks, each with its own
instrument. Drag clips around the timeline to structure your verse, chorus,
and bridge.

control. Zoom and scroll to work on the big picture or a single phrase.

• General MIDI instruments — Choose from a full GM instrument library, from
pianos and strings to synths and a dedicated drum kit.

• Real-time playback — Change tempo, mute, and solo tracks live while the song
plays. Nothing is "baked in," so you can experiment freely as you listen.

• Undo & redo — Every edit is reversible. Drag a whole clip and undo it in one
step.

• Save & load projects — Your work autosaves automatically, and you can keep
multiple named projects to come back to later.

• Export to MIDI — Render any project to a standard .mid file you can open in
desktop DAWs, notation software, or share with collaborators.


BUILT FOR TOUCH

The interface is designed from the ground up for fingers, not a mouse. Custom
scrubbing and pinch-to-zoom gestures make navigating the timeline and piano
roll fast and natural. A clean transport bar keeps play, stop, and tempo always
within reach.


LOW-LATENCY SOUND

Audio runs through a high-performance native engine for tight, responsive
playback with minimal delay — important when you're auditioning ideas in real
time.


WHO IT'S FOR
