Piano
Timing, velocity curve, and note length nudges for keys that sound played instead of clicked in.
MIDI Humanizer · AUv3
Less grid.More groove.
GrooveNudge reshapes the MIDI you already wrote—timing, velocity, swing, note length, ghost notes, and chord spread—before it reaches your instrument.

GrooveNudge is not a sequencer, synth, DAW, or AI composer. It is the small realtime processor you insert when the notes are right but the performance is too rigid.
Drums
Accent, ghost note, swing, and micro-timing feel for programmed patterns that need pocket.
Chords
Strum spread, voice timing, and layered velocity so blocks open like a performance.
Preset first
Hear the before/after in seconds.
V1 is designed around a fast aha moment: choose a musical mode, start from a preset, then use a few clear controls to push the groove tighter or looser.
