Where is the Auv3 plugin?

Where can I download the audio unit component so I can use this with my DAW? It is useless without it and I can’t find it anywhere

A very good sequencer that’s easy to learn

It has pretty much every feature I would want from a hardware sequencer. The one feature that would be a huge addition would be very basic direction options, or am I not seeing them? I see the random step button, but no backwards or back and forth direction options. Other than that maybe adding sixteen more steps, but I realize with every sequencer you simply have to accept its limitations and embrace its strengths.

Thanks for the app

As many have already mentioned MidiStep and Helium are a powerful combination.

The app is crashing

Please check the app to work properly under iOS 15.8.4 and IPhone 7 Plus, in standalone mode it’s crashing after a while and the interface is empty and won’t load. In AUM it loads though. And I wasn’t able to find where to leave a feedback.

The Joy of MidiStep

MidiStep is amazing. Combined with Helium it is phenomenal. Not to say it was impossible before, but now I finally feel I have a great workflow with a combination of tools that I can use to finish full tracks in AUM.

Insanely good, insanely deep

Beautiful tutorials for this lil fella all over YouTube. It’s pretty incredible in respect to what it can do and how complex. It’s got that stable 4pocket gui, it compliments Helium nicely.

Best step sequencer for the iPad

There are many step sequencer for the iPad and I’ve got most of them.
In terms of usability and “musicality”, this one really shines very bright.
Even if you barely use all those randomization options, which are phantastic, this step sequencer is very useful. The chord function is just great.
Since I have it, I use it in every project (together with Octachron for drums and percussion).
Thanks Paul!

Another winner!

The mind of Paul (developer of this and so many other apps) must be lit up like a radar screen at a major airport! As usual, there is a LOT on offer, and updates that add even more. Sometimes the complexity is a bit overwhelming, but well worth persevering and this is easily among his top 5 greatest apps. A fine addition to any music-maker’s collection.

A versatile step sequencer for Berlin School jamming

I love this sequencer that very much resembles the typical analog sequencer setup plus loads of very useful randomisation features. And another app that runs on older (iOS 12) devices - great! But please do not just hide disabled notes. I often prepare or change disabled sections of sequences before enabling them again. I suggest the same “ghost note” behaviour as in Tie mode. The same applies to sequence length: The unused sections of sequences that are shorter than 16 steps should be visible and adjustable. Another great feature would be another sync mode that advances the sequencer when a NoteOn arrives without any set tempo.

Just to add to this review that the latest update implemented the requested features. Fantastic 👍

Response from developer

Thanks for the suggestions. I will add them to my ever expanding list and hopefully you will see these make their way to a future release. I have many great ideas I am working on that I think everyone will appreciate, but its always great to get possitive feedback which encourages me to keep the updates coming.

Best app so far from Paul

I bought this a little while ago, and I’ve been playing with it in AUM. I’m impressed!

Did not pass Au test - resolved

Unable to run in logic . I’m sure this would be fixed at some pint

Update - seems to be working now .

Response from developer

The initial release was intended for iOS and I accidentally left Mac support enabled. However, the MIDI implementation passes fine (aumi), and this is the only implementation you need to use the program. The aumu part of the implementation shows an error, but enabling it in the plugin manager does allow it to function correctly. This part was only included for iOS, because some hosts don't support MIDI Auv3 plugins.

Another superb 4pockets app

can’t rave enough about Paul he’s one of the hardest working devs on the App Store hands down. lovely app so far really digging it thx!

Another brilliant and useful app from 4-pockets

I have quite a few of this developer’s apps and not one of them has disappointed. Every single one has helped me in one way or another with my IOS music making/dabbling. This is no exception.

There are several similarities with another app called ‘TheSys’. And like that app I already feel that this is something I will continue to come back to again and again. There is enough difference between this and an app like ‘TheSys’ to make this an immediate buy. The work-flow of this is very much easier, creating quicker and equally satisfying results.

There’s masses of variation. You can keep tweaking and changing to your heart’s content. Loads of scales and, of course, it is completely AUV3-compatible.

I didn’t have to think twice before making this purchase from a tried-and-trusted seller. You shouldn’t either. Have fun!

not really new

basically this app is like „Step Polyarp“ with additional randomizers. is not bad but not really a new idea. there are some failures inside. the number of pattern is not correct in the follow up menu and it would be helpful, when the stepsequencer could have more as one notes in one step. for drumloops this is important. it would also very helpful, when the pattern choicable with specific trigger notes. press key C for Pattern 01, press key D for pattern 02 and so on. in the „Note On“ mode its not possible to play a series of pattern. there is no latch mode and the sync to clock is not really stable.

Response from developer

The next pattern display issue is fixed in the soon to be released version. You CAN set multiple notes per step using the chord editor. I've used this myself on drum machines etc. The note latch is available in the top right corner of the interface, and the sync works just fine for me. In 'Note On' mode you can chain a series of patterns but you need to enable it in Settings. Please read the manual, that's what its there for.

Welll, now, 1. Go to ,yutube, 2. Then run the app

It’s all in the title.

I’ll be sharing the entire feedback but I doubt it will be able to come even toneuclidean and the helium

Just forgotten to state that this is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen and the most sophisticated user interface.

In can’t say anything about the functionality,

Weyvsryurfyu. Paulie thanks
