AUDIOCIPHER
ABOUT US
AudioCipher Technologies is a bootstrapped indie software company based in the United States. Our mission is to help artists overcome creative block and keep their musical ideas organized.
Our first plugin version launched in 2020 and the team has continued to iterate each year, improving on the chord and melody generation feature until we arrived at the MIDI Vault (Version 4.0) in 2024.
We're thrilled to now offer an application that both inspires new ideas and nurtures them to completion.
