Features & Capabilities

Riffer is a creative MIDI sequencer that generates random patterns and melodies for any MIDI-capable device, from synths and samplers to drum machines. It lets you sculpt ideas with selectable scales, steps, complexity, start and end points, playback motion, pitch, transpose, and measures, and you can save your favorite riffs for quick access.

Riffer supports MIDI output over WiFi or MIDI cables and integrates Ableton Link for tight sync with other apps on the same network. Built for studio work and live performance, it offers an Infinity mode for endless runs and a vast library of Western and Eastern scales to fuel creativity.

User Reviews

Riffer offers powerful, editable generative MIDI sequences with strong control and musical results, plus solid stability and bundle value. Ongoing updates add depth and multi-instance capability. Recurrent downsides across reviews are small-screen readability, occasional timing glitches and bugs, compatibility issues with certain apps, and mixed support experiences. Overall it remains a creative workhorse for many users, with room for UI polish and broader app integration.

Pros

Editable generative sequences with lockable parameters, manual note editing, infinite generation, and MIDI export.
Strong mix of control and randomness, yielding musical results rather than just random bleeps.
Stable and easy to use for long sessions; reliable performance on iOS hosts.
Good value and bundling: no subscription; usable standalone or within the AudioModern bundle.
Active development and feature depth: updates like 3.0 density and multiple per-sequence instances with independent randomization.

Cons

Small UI and readability issues on mobile: cramped controls and tiny fonts.
Occasional timing and playback glitches and bugs (loop mode skipping steps, MIDI drift).
Compatibility issues with other apps/hosts (GarageBand crashes, Nanostudio 2 compatibility, some synth apps not recognized).
Support quality concerns and refund handling reported by users.
Feature gaps and UX expectations (requests for note nudging, improved accessibility, and better split-view workflow).

Recent reviews

I have several apps that randomly generate notes for you, but it’s always hit and miss with regard to useable composition. With Riffer, it generates excellent sequences nearly every time. And, another thing that sets it apart is that the sequences are editable and you can draw in notes manually. You can lock down specific characteristics to keep, while randomly generating others. You can even set it to infinitely generative sequences and pick what you like from it. And then export a midi file. It’s also completely useable on a small iPhone SE screen, though the controls are a bit small. Highly recommended!

Riffer is the perfect mix of control and randomness to create some truly great sounding music, not just completely random bleeps and bloops…although it’ll do that if you so desire. It’s let’s to give over control when you don’t want it, but then take it when you do. It’s the first thing I plug in when starting AUM. It’s always the launch point. (Also, THANK YOU for not going subscription.)
