👨‍💻 The Story Behind MidiBro

Built by a Producer, for Producers

Ivo Schmidt - MidiBro Developer

Hi, I'm Ivo, a Berlin-based music producer. After years of drowning in disorganized MIDI files, I decided to build the tool I always wanted. Six months of development later, MidiBro is ready.

Why This Matters:

  • Built to solve a real producer's problem, not corporate speculation
  • Developed with modern AI assistance for better architecture
  • Direct support from the developer (that's me!)
  • Your feedback shapes future updates

This is my first commercial product. No corporation, no shareholders—just a solo developer who makes music and understands your workflow.

Support independent development. Try MidiBro free today.
