Live MIDI flow

From keyboard chaos to musical control.

KeyFlow sits between your keyboard and the instrument, reading MIDI before it reaches the sound.

Signal path

Keyboard → KeyFlow → DAW

KeyFlow does not make sound. It shapes MIDI before the instrument sees it.

01

Choose your input

Open KeyFlow, select your physical MIDI keyboard, and let the app publish a clean virtual output.

02

Point the DAW to KeyFlow Out

MainStage, Logic, or any CoreMIDI-aware setup receives the filtered stream from one place.

03

Play with guardrails

Wrong notes are blocked, harmony-aware notes can pass, and the musical intent stays intact.

Commercial 1.0 baseline

Built for real live keyboard work.

Fast routing, readable controls, and a harmony engine that understands more than a rigid scale checklist.

Scale Filtering

Choose a root and scale, then set Strictness from forgiving to fully locked. Chromatic mode is there when the song needs complete freedom.

Auto Detect Scale

KeyFlow can learn from the notes you play and switch when confidence is high enough.

Allow All Notes

Bypass scale filtering instantly, or combine it with Chord Aware for a chord-compatible palette.

Adaptive Harmony

Minor keys get musical borrowed tones for dominant movement and expressive progressions.

Chord Aware

Lower held notes inform the harmony while melody notes stay protected by the selected scale.

Router and AUv3 modes

Run KeyFlow globally as a CoreMIDI router for complex concerts, or load it as an AUv3 MIDI FX plugin on a single instrument strip.

Support and privacy

Clear answers before the first note.

Does KeyFlow make sound?

No. It processes MIDI before it reaches your instrument plugin or DAW instrument.

Why doubled notes?

Your DAW may be receiving both the physical keyboard and KeyFlow Out. Use KeyFlow Out for the instrument route.

Does it collect data?

No. KeyFlow 1.0 processes MIDI locally, uses no network services, and includes no analytics or ads.

Where does it fit?

Use the router for whole concerts and sessions. Use AUv3 MIDI FX when one strip needs KeyFlow.
