Arpist

A universal app that is a great iPhone Arpeggiator for single thumb programming. The iPad version is exactly the same scaled up and oriented for portrait use. Overall, it's a useful melody sketch sequencer that one can chain up to eight patterns of various lengths so you can keep it simple or make a complex melody. Each pattern can be set separately to a number of pattern types available e.g. As Played, Up/Down, Inward/Outward, Low Pedaltone Descending, Douple, Octuple, Follow Octave, Random, etc. Tempo relies on itself as a source using standard Midi Clock or can track timing from other sources. While MIDI as a timing source is good and reliable with no strange timing artifacts, it could use Alberton LINK so I wouldn't have to use another app like MIDI Link Sync.

To the people complaining that the app does not produce sound, if you read the description it clearly says the app does not produce sound on its own; It has to be connected to a synth. It is not cool to leave a bad review of a product for not doing something that the description said it doesn't do. It's like giving a bad review for a CD player because you can't play a cassette on it (showing my age).

Beautiful design, nice features. Thanks!

Ive downloaded several sequencing arp apps but this ones great because it lets you link multiple sequencer progressions. Makes sequencing much more evocative. Ps... Its been said but needs to be said again. You must plug this into a device that can receive midi note input. For example, I use a this app with a Korg Ms-20 mini and its excellent.

It generates midi. It's sad to see a developer have a bad rating because people are either ignorant about midi and can't read a description, or maybe they thought their phone was special and would generate audio, even though it is clearly stated it doesn't.
