Excellent! The best Balance of custom and generative. Recommended!
I have several apps that randomly generate notes for you, but it’s always hit and miss with regard to useable composition.
With Riffer, it generates excellent sequences nearly every time. And, another thing that sets it apart is that the sequences are editable and you can draw in notes manually. You can lock down specific characteristics to keep, while randomly generating others. You can even set it to infinitely generative sequences and pick what you like from it. And then export a midi file.
It’s also completely useable on a small iPhone SE screen, though the controls are a bit small.
Highly recommended!

Thank you for your feedback, your pleasure is our reward. We are working on updating the small controls for iPhone users as updates roll.
Limited Options
Thaie is a very good app. Sadly the developer appears to have prevented it working on Mac OS - it used to. Now forced to spend $100s on desktop versions of the same apps.
Absolutely love it
Riffer is the perfect mix of control and randomness to create some truly great sounding music, not just completely random bleeps and bloops…although it’ll do that if you so desire. It’s let’s to give over control when you don’t want it, but then take it when you do. It’s the first thing I plug in when starting AUM. It’s always the launch point.
(Also, THANK YOU for not going subscription.)

Get i0S bundle- best suite available, imo
Get this as a standalone or get it included in the extremely generous iOS bundle which includes: loopmix, Playbeat3, riffer, chord jam, freezer. The big 4 (excluding freezer) is a sequencists fantasy with 5 dedicated sequencers in each instance of Riffer, you can make it ever evolving and ensure that no sequence loops twice, unless directed.
It’s true the UI is kinda terrible, and prevented me from going forward with the bundle, but after a minor tweak was made, it made the UI scale properly when resized so it’s not impossible to use.
I am very happy with Riffer, and AudioModern in general for such a quality bundle. I use the apps daily and without issue. I have grown to appreciate the UI as it is standardized across the suite AND LEARNING 1 APP, teaches you how to use all of the bundled apps.
You can also score Riffer solo and build up toward the bundle at your own pace. AudioModern has us covered.

Very cool
But only 4 channels… any chance to have it with 6 channels?
Отличное
Спасибо , ваш генератор max for live очень помогает. К сожалению не нашел как купить из россии , но хоть тут можно поддержать
Another great app
I love that it has iPhone support , this bundle gets more use than any other bundle I’ve gotten , and Riffer is amazing to use on iPhone when I’m experimenting and “noodling “ to later bring a track to iPad,
Ableton Link not working
Nice tool. But unfortunately Ableton link ist not connecting.
Response from developer
Ableton Link should be working flawlessly. Come you please check if both devices are on the same network?
Unusable in Cubasis 3
All most recent versions. Fresh install of both apps. Riffer actually skips steps in the patterns the user creates. Whacko playback. Submitted the problem with a screenshot and video to Audiomodern and they responded that ‘it must be because I’m in loop mode’. Then they told me they can’t duplicate it. Then they told me there are no problems reported in cubasis. 1 - if there have been no problems reported, then they wouldn’t know it’s because of loop mode. 2 - it happens with both loop enabled or disabled, so the reason they fired back isn’t actually a reason. 3 - a software company can’t fresh install an iOS and 2 programs to try to duplicate a problem on a machine in 30 seconds, which is about how long it took them to respond to me. So they didn’t actually try to duplicate the issue in any effective way. Cubasis users beware, Riffer and the support offered behind it seems to be pretty sketchy, and I can’t say it seems completely honest. I’ll happily update this if Audiomodern owns up to the b.s., Makes Riffer usable and apologizes, but until then, it’s a no-go. UPDATE 1: Audiomodern’s response: “…ask for a refund in the App Store”. Given the non-existent ownership of problems and proper support, I’d stay away, folks. UPDATE 2: Check their response. My tech assistant is on their forum, and now they have decided to make accusations of ‘multiple accounts’ on their forum, playing police with IP addresses. To the apparent detectives at Audiomodern: don’t play police poorly. Instead, work on your software and try some honesty. Many professional composers have assistants who (gasp!) work in the same studio, on the same ip address ;) When professional user calls you out for not putting any time into reviewing or resolving a problem before sending a refund request, nobody’s being rude to you. Calm yourselves. Do your work. Tone policing, pointing fingers, and accusations, rather than develop, develop, and develop, is useless. Sad. Stay away folks. If I get a proper apology and they get their software working, perhaps I’ll update again. I don’t expect much at this point. Probably best to stay away if you’re a professional and not a typical hack.

Hi Terbano, I personally handled this ticket and while I was indeed able to test everything in less than a minute as you say, I found that nothing was wrong with the setup and sent you a video showing the correct playback behavior. I did ask to learn more about the loop mode as this was a hot topic back in the Cubasis forum. When a problem arises, we will work to track it down, fix it, and improve the overall performance of the app so that you have a pleasant experience at all times. However, I politely offered to help you get a refund from the App Store not only because of your negative, disrespectful and rude attitude but also for noticing multiple accounts on our forum that were created by you using different names. A search of the forum logs revealed that the IP addresses they were registered with matched those of a single computer on your desk. Please move on, I am sure you will find something that you will enjoy more from another developer.
Worth the money, could use one huge feature
This is a super fun tool to use when you’re wanting to play. As a “quantized” sequencer it can make some super cool and interesting Melodies that are awesome to sound design to.
One thing I hope the devs add in the future is nudging the notes or even the entire melody. I make a lot of sloppy beats and the only issue with this plug-in is the shuffle is mediocre at best.
Even still, you can pull the midi out and move things on a sequencer like Drambo how you want but navigation on an iPhone isn’t the funnest experience.
Maybe a note edit tab would do the trick where you can set each one’s timing along with pitch bend or other misc midi things.
Other than that; still would recommend^^

God forbid an $8 app would have legible labels
The general accessibility and usability of auv3 plugins is a horror show, and this UX is openly hostile to the eyesight of phone users.
It’s exactly the same for all their other apps, they should be pulled from the App Store until basic accessibility compliance has been addressed.

Riffer is fabulous
This app is fabulous. And thanks for fixing the MIDI settings in the plugin.
Easy on the ear, hard on the eyes
Riffer when tweaked in the right way can produce some useful results. There is a weeding of the chaff from the wheat process, but that it be expected with generative stuff. The main problem is that this developer has the eyes of an eagle, and seems to think everyone else does too. The controls are ridiculously small and fiddly to use. So a redesign to something a little more chunky would be marvellous.

Needs Multitasking
This app needs to support Split View.
The Dog’s Bullocks!
A great tool to find a creative spark. I use it in every project. I use this on both iPad and iPhone. AUM is the host. The small UI is my only complaint (especially on iPhone). The font size is too small for my old eyes. -1 ⭐️
The font/icon sizes need to be bigger. Or you could make long pressing an area give a zoomed view.

Winner
Pure inspiration, modular inspired and sooo melodic. Essential for musicians that are looking for a good foundation of notes to get writing. 10/10 sparks random joy.
Polyvalent
En plus de creer des patern aléatoires il peu servir de séquenceur pour instrument midi externe En creant nos propre patern fais des Jam en contrôlant un mininova tout en envoyant l’horloge de mon ipad sur les autres instruments … super pour le jam car on peu en plus enregistrer plusieurs patern tout en bas de l’ecran. Un bon séquenceur pas cher

Disappointed
Unfortunately neither this or Chordjam are compatible with Nanostudio 2 it would seem.
Will not open on iPad.
Very disappointing.
Response from developer
Please make sure you have updated to the latest 3.1.2 version.
The interface really helps turn randomness to musical results quick
The ability to lock certain elements, keys, ranges, steps, notes and randomize makes this one of the top 3 randomizers I’ve used..and I’ve used easily over a hundred from Max devices to iPad apps.

Thanks for your kind feedback, Enjoy!
