Almost great but…

This is a cleverly designed app and I will get a lot of use out of it as I record a pattern at a time into loopy pro. Just as well as the sequencer page doesn’t seem to work at all? The manual is useless as the examples shown look nothing like the current MKer app.
I can add clips/patterns to the sequencer page but deleting them doesn’t work as far as I can tell and it doesn’t make sense at all. I can add as many cycles of the first pattern but how do I add a second pattern to the sequence?
For me MKer is still well worth the fiver paid but It would be good to actually be able to chain patterns in the sequencer rather than having to trigger them manually.
Maybe it’s me but I am ok with just about every other sequencer on IOS.

I Know Why This Got 5 Stars

What a fantastic sequencing app. It’s great for making some lovely long slow ambiences. There is a slight learning curve but it is more than worth it in the long run. I absolutely love the results from this app.

Gets things going

Use it in AUM templates. A little tedious to input notes, but idk how to make it easier. Pretty solid otherwise.

Confusing Interface

This app could be very good but in it’s current state it’s not. The included help manual is no help at all because the UI it depicts and the actual UI are completely different. Good luck trying to understand intuitively as things you think the various buttons should do don’t do at all, or do something unexpected. I consider this app broken for now until the dev does a better job of defining it’s functions and updating the user manual.

I don’t know HOW this got 5 stars.

It doesn’t work with external midi keyboards, despite what the developer says or maybe just not the Arturia Keystep 37 and the KORG nanoKEY2. Of course I could be wrong and it’s just incompatible with AUM, but whatever the reason, tying to input midi notes using an external keyboard causes the app to crash. Unless you want to spend countless hours entering and fiddling with the screen, don’t waste your money. The support doesn’t work either, I tried that first and I think that the developer doesn’t want to hear any criticism.
