  • Turned Garbage

    After an update The app won’t stop clicking. Metronome is off. All tracks are stopped. Still clicking like crazy. Impossible to use. Seems the Devs broke it long time ago and ran away.
  • I think we can call this abandon ware now

    I was really excited about this app when it came although it was alway pretty wonky and I often spent more time troubleshooting and trying figure out how to use it than get songs done. It’s always been full of bugs and I think it’s safe to say after 5 years and no updates it’s abandonware. The real question is why is this app still on the AppStore? Obviously the developer doesn’t care about ModStep and has moved on, so why sell an app you’ve given up on?

  • fantastic workflow but full of bugs

    It seems the app was not updated in a hot minute.

    Loading AUv3s quits the app but Ive played around with what is included and I would go totally insane if this could become a regular tool in my toolbox.

    In love with many grooveboxes like Drambo but to have touch optimized albeton like performance scene launcher would be a dream.
    (i know LK exists but can’t get into that one.)

    If only loading auv3 was fixed i would already esctatic.
