Should be a zero rating

App doesn’t function if it even starts. Crashes most times when I try to use it. Stay away and save your 3 dollars.

Needs updating

Just doesn’t work anymore, shouldn’t be on App Store if it’s not being updated anymore. Don’t waist your money.

App not showing in Audiobus

This app is not showing in Audiobus or AUM. Not sure how it can be used.

Awesome for my setup

I have few mono synths and a puc+ (Bluetooth midi device)
And this sequencer is so much fun! I set the velocity to open the cutoff on my nyborg12 synth and it’s an instant Depeche Mode...
For $2.99 it’s great.

Complex, fun, frustrating

Grabbed this on sale 'cause it looked like fun, and it is fun. But it would be a whole lot better if there was some kind of tutorial. There is a manual available via the devs website. But a quick start option would be helpful. I have no idea what I'm doing. Also, why doesn't the app quit when told to? It has to be manually swiped from memory.

Great sequencer for iOS

Tony has poured a lot of love into this sequencer. From visual realism to functionality. Extremely responsive dev. Great app. Recommended!

Awesome sequencer! Needs UI makeover.

Maybe if I were on something bigger than an iPad Mini I would find this sequencer easy to use. It certainly has enough features to keep a music geek busy for a very long time. But the interface looks to be made for a very large desktop computer monitor: shadows and highlights on tiny buttons and even a script font for some of the function labels. Clearly someone labored painstakingly over these details.

Unfortunately, I cannot use it without constant zooming and scrolling and zooming and scrolling, which completely kills the creative flow for me. There is a lot packed into the screen; the UI really needs to be redone in a more minimal style to make it work as a mobile app. I'm not at all a fan of extreme minimalism as a UI style--please keep the colors! Please don't give me orange or light gray on white!--but add a leavening of flatness and sans-serif fonts and I'll put that fifth star up.

tremendous!

a time machine to 1974! but with more features than they ever dreamed of. an extremely well built piece of software. more please!

Pretty damned good.

Used with external synths like iM1 or iSEM it works beautifully. The only sequencer which trumps this (there are a few which are in the same league) is Cream Mobile. Which is the best as a VST as well. Apparently.

Powerful Midi tool - Highly recommended

I didn't know how much you could do in 16 steps. 1 step alone can be a chord, strum or long arpeggio or just a good old mono note. Repeats, note probability and velocity variation percentages also. 16 step clips can be instantly loaded on the fly opening up the possibility of live use. An excellent sequencer.

Amazing. A must own.

There's almost too much awesome in this app. It's very easy to just noodle for ever. Though k think that was one of the intentions.

The chord IAP is definitely worth it. Particularly with the brilliant Strum effects (set a chord and then set how it will be drawn out over time. Can do a quick 'strum' as the name would imply but can also spread the notes out for over a measure depending on the interval you set.

I find the effects setup sort of confusing but otherwise most everything is pretty straight forward; which is amazing considering just how much sequencer is packed into this app.

Can't get full screen on 6s

There are 3 screen size choices, none of which fills the whole app in the screen on a 6s. Buttons are extremely tiny which makes it difficult to use. This should have been for iPad only, I can't see using it at all always toggling screens where you either get a half screen of the full app(look at the picture), the top part, or the bottom. I may have well tossed my money out the window. I rarely give negative reviews, but this is ridiculous.

A versatile and great value little app. In an instant you'll be sending creative patterns to your iOS or midi synth. Now with extra options like FX & Chords. Definitely worth exploring. An iOS essential!

Amazing

This is a MIDI sequencer and it drives Synth Apps. It makes what is available in hardware look very clunky and expensive. Takes time to learn but is very powerful. Read the manual. Smile.

Needs fixed

5-star app that, after the update, will no longer run on ios version 7.1.2. Crashes upon start.

The best of 16 step sequencers by far

So many options it isn't the easiest to use but its well designed and looks great. After putting in half an hour or so this gives the power to explore the sequencing possibilities of your favorite synth. Soon to go universal, cant wait. Thanks Anthony

Great Sequencer for Performing!

I’ve been looking for a powerful Sequencer for the iPad that has a simp[le interface for Live Performance etc… and midiSequencer fits the bill perfectly! If you are looking to compose and arrange entire songs you may want to look elsewhere as this is being sold as a 16 Step Software version of an Analogue Sequencer and it does a great job at it! MIDI to and from iPad Instruments and External MIDI Sources and Controllers makes this a great tool in the Musical Toy box! I can’t wait to see how it mixes it up with my two external Hardware Sequencers on my Minimoog! It’s going to be a wild Hootenany!

Great sequencer

Just had say what a great sequencer app this. I've had no probs with it, like some of its competitors. Running in the background is awesome.

Very sweet full featured MIDI Sequencer

This app is the "real deal" for MIDI sequence exploration! Just check out the 96p manual to see all the features. If you want to go even further, the inexpensive IAPs 99c provide midi FX and chord+. I would suggest to set default values for drawing=ON to make initial entry easier and the Cycle reset also ON which is what I think most people would expect. Also, this is not just for hardware instruments. Worked great with my Amidio instruments.

Good, but not great

I like the fact that this sequencer works with Audiobus, (after the snafus following iOS8's release). But it'd be nice if it had a page for each sequencer track. Instead you have to assign each note to a track, so the first beat can only be played by track #1, etc. 64 step would also be nice, instead it has only 16, (each step length can be multiplied, e.g., x2, x3, etc). Not a bad app, but I'll save the five star rating for the sequencer that most resembles my QY-100.
