Great Plugin

The UI is kind of tiny, but it's understandable because it's crammed with features.

The App Store on my M1 Mac says it is compatible with MacBook Pro, and it installs, but it's not really available in any useful way. It doesn't show up in the AU list.

Perhaps the app's listing could remove MBP compatibility from the page.

Sad, and sorry for being a bit honest and truthful

This app is soon gonna lost into the oblivion, Soon! My condolences. Just out of respect I’m giving 2 stars.
Update:

Due to the sheer negligence of the developers, and the fact that they don’t care or absolutely not bothered by the fact that a huge number of people have spent their money, which was earned by working hard and was earned through their sweat.

This is simply an act of disrespect and utter insult to the people who put their trust on this dev. Which he certainly absolutely do not deserve.

If you’re going to do something, do it with integrity and dignity, if you’re not gonna work on this app, give it to someone else, there are a huge number of developers iOS can do wonders nowadays.

But you’re not going to do that simply because you simply do not care and albeit an irresponsible developer.

Anyway, congratulations on your success of lowering down the standard of the AppStore,

Similar apps like Xequence, Helium, Fl Studios Piano Roll, have surpassed this already. Doesn’t even support drag and drop from Suggester , can you believe it? Let’s not go into the glitch details.

Stay well, and be blessed.

Almost Perfect Midi Tool

Atom2 is a good midi tool for working and performing with midi loops, however the amount of screen space taken by the multiple instance makes it awkward to use with more than five individual tracks on iPad unless your are fortunate enough to have a launchpad external controller. I feel for iPad use it needs a grid style interface in the style of a launchpad like the LK app has, if this was added or was part of an ATOM3 app it would be a 5 star app

Doesn’t seem to support Launch Pad Pro MK3 anymore.

I absolutely love this app and used it in AUM - launching clips with my Novation Launchpad X. Having recently upgraded to the Launchpad Pro Mk3, I was expecting the Session view to work in the same way. Unfortunately, it doesn't enable the session ‘clip launch’ mode. It still works on the X, so Im wondering if it’s the latest firmware. I hope the Dev will take a look and see if theres anything that can be done.

App perfect example of iOS music shortcomings

This could have been a professional level app but the one man band developer pulled a disappearing act for the past two years and now this app is incompatible with current standards and newer apps such as Logic Pro for iPad. Nobody to turn to for support or updates. Increasingly obsolete. This is why anyone serious will stick with professional computers DAWs and iOS music apps will only ever be for hobbyist light recreation.

Great piano roll, but is there going to be Logic Pro x support

The plug-in is very good for starting off a project but since my switch from Beat maker 3 I can’t use the plugin due to the lack of support. Will it come to Logic Pro x?

No AUV3 parameter sequencing in clips.

I got Atom 2 with the hopes of a slick piano roll editor for use in AUM. It certainly provides a really beautiful editing environment for notes, except it is geared purely on clips, which I can live with, EXCEPT nowhere could I find how to add parameter controls for AUV3 instruments leaving my musical sections limited in their expressiveness. The reason I could not find what I was looking for is because it was not supported. So, I’m left disappointed, unfortunately. It showed a lot of promise. My workflow quest continues.

Can’t undo from midi controller

This is a decent midi looper
But it suffers from the same limitations as helium in that you can’t control enough of the features from an external midi controller
If all of the features were accessible via midi controllers this could be 5 stars

Love it, just needs one update.

The ability to see multiple layers is my favorite part, but i with i could step input chords. Hope it gets updated!

One of the greatest iOS music apps I have tried.

Essential app. There is no other piano roll like this.
