midiSTEPs

I have had this app for a few days, and I just can not leave it alone! The title calls it a toy, but it doesn’t feel or behave like one. I have some minor issues with it, but mostly I really like it. There are lots of possibilities here, especially working with a multi-timbral synth like the Korg iM1 or the bs-16i. It’s extremely flexible, with lots of options for variability. I especially love the ability to randomize the notes, or the velocity, or the note gate length. Being able to do this allows the sequences to sound a lot less mechanical and boring. The one feature I’m still getting used to is the file saving system; it just doesn’t operate the way you think it does. There’s no option to just save the “set” you’re working on, or at least I can’t find it. It would also be really nice to have a good assortment of scales to pick from; the app provides only major & minor. Nevertheless I still give it 5 stars; VERY interesting app.

The idea is great and the app has a nice, simple look. I bought it to sequence chords on my DeepMind12 and it...almost...works. It crashes after working beautifully for a few moments. I'll stick around for an update because the potential is huge. When working properly it will keep me from purchasing something like the kordbot. I'm hoping the issues get sorted out. Godspeed developers!

This is the best sequencer out there. I use it everyday in my music creation. It has an easy to use interface and has many many features. Love it!

I make a lot of music on the iPad and have tons of apps all linked together through Audiobus, and with MIDI control of other apps through studiomux (app), so one could say I've got a pretty good handle on things. But for whatever reason I have had the hardest time figuring out how to make this app work and have it be fully integrated into my workflow. I've fiddled around a ton and have managed to figure out a thing or two, but it's gotten to the point where I end up wasting so much time trying to figure out how to actually get everything to work. I'd like to think its intuitive - the UI is clean and beautiful - but it's just not...for me. This app is FOR SURE awesome, and I know if has a ton of potential that I am just not tapping into yet, but it definitely needs some walk through tool tips or an explainer video to show you how to control other apps / synths etc. The feedback above also applies to midiLFOs. Looking forward to more tuts / explainer vids because I'd love to have this be a go-to app in my setup.

The description makes it seem like you can sequence CC messages, but you can't. The only CC info it sequences is velocity. Not being able to sequence CC messages places this firmly in the 'toy' department. Not usable for anything professional.
