## Most critical reviews (9 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Horrible interface

*2022-10-25*

The per step editing take way to long and ist very uncomfortable. Not worth the money

### 1/5 — Don’t WORK in AUM

*2022-10-08*

Don’t open in AUM

### 3/5 — Great but also annoying

*2025-06-04*

It’s a great sequencer but not without its flaws. 
If I have two or more tracks that are each triggering notes (in this case samples to outboard Roland P6 sampler) at the very first start bar then only one sample will play not two, until the next block then they all play. Hard to explain but that’s why I stopped using PatternBud and moved to Helium.

### 3/5 — Good concept, but need automation to chance cc value in step

*2025-01-04*

This tool would have been amazing if it would allow cc scaling from value a too b within a step

### 3/5 — Functional but a bit cumbersome

*2023-11-03*

First off, this app is constantly crashing. I contacted the developer but haven’t heard back. 

That said, this is a focused and very useful little tool. I have not found anything like it. 

Unfortunately it is a little cumbersome to program. Would love to see reorder by drag and drop, drag to delete, copy/paste or duplicate track, etc.

### 4/5 — It works well but improvements could be done

*2023-12-16*

I use it with PatternBud+BrainBud. It is able to change the key. However, this only subject to the on screen keyboard of ScaleBud, but not my own midi keyboard (actually it is a 4x4 Drum pad, mapping with note 1/3/5/7 of different octave making sound like a chord)

For example, when I am hitting a C3 note in every beat, the BrainBud changes from C Major scale to G major scale. As a result, my notes C3 is still keeping as C3, but not transposed to G3 which is i expected to be. That means the C3 is not mapped to the First note of the scale and so on (while the notes of the on screen button keep switching as it should be)

I hope this can be achieved as this help as it help generating pattern with any controller with non piano keyboard layout

### 5/5 — Does exactly what I need

*2025-09-27*

I’ve been looking a long time for a simple MIDI sequencer that runs as a plug-in within main stage. I finally found it. The plug-in will execute PC or CC messages at one or more bars within the song and allows me to access any of the controls I have set up within mainstage. In my case, I use it to change guitar effects, vocal, harmonies, etc. I can add it to each of my patches/songs in main stage, customizing it for each song. Fantastic!

### 5/5 — Key for song-building in AUM

*2025-08-03*

Let’s me change pattern across multiple sequencers easily in AUM. It’s essential for my live workflow.

### 5/5 — This is very good

*2023-02-17*

I Need This App To Send cc Message to a Pedal with a konstant value. And Trackbased length ( 1 bar Or 4 Bars etc).It‘s Perfect!!
