My 6th review … sorry, man. 😔

I’ve been working with Senode again, on and off since I found the latest update in late January.
Recently, I’ve been trying to use it on 2 to 3 separate sequences simultaneously, on the same MIDI channel (chords) as well as on individual channels.
This was it, over the last 30 minutes. 😔 At tye very beginning, it seemed that I had bith individual sequences in an idea’s test run working, individually. (A mono melody and a mono basslines.)
Ensuring proper bass synth sound ops on the bass discovering that nooooo, even though everything were hooked up between the 2 voices spate from each other, both sequences seemed to be playing tge melody voice only.

(It IS late and I’m tired …)

But … ensuring tgat the bass sequence and voice were working properly, ensuring hooked up only to themselves … there weren’t a melody, any more.
All connections as they should be.
Sequencer running. No activity at the incoming Trigger / Gate; changes in incoming CVs.
All, had stalled, for only the first sequencer.

(An experience type had, many times in the past.)

Man … in my 41 years of MIDI sequencing and CV sequencing, I have never seen a sequencer like yours. Except for real oddities in entering notes, this is the best potential, I’ve ever seen!

These bugs though? I can’t use it!

I’ve started planning ine out myself. I haven’t programmed in years and I’ll have to learn C++.
I do have a helper at least and I want a functioning sequencer like this, befire I die. (I AM early retured niw.)

Time, but here’s to hoping!

Thanks for trying man! It has been, frustrating fun!

My 5th review … tried new update! 😀

After my now 40 years of ‘computer sequencing’ with 5+ on this iPad after 35 years across Atari ST; Amiga; PC; Mac and PC …I _FINALLY_ caved in, in Dec. 2025 and came to GarageBand.
FINALLY on the iPad, a sequencer that I COULD compose regular toons on! (80’s / 90’s similar.)

NO OTHER SEQuencer though on _ANY_ platform has been as cool an idea as Sebastien’s Senode! That be why, I continually come back to give it another try!
Bugs, have always been the killer.
BUT … they have also been due to what _I_ were trying to do! Multi-instrument under 1, or, Mukri-Senode.
On i-Pad 6 and then this 9, over the last 2 years.

This latest update, I’m here to try it SOLO. 1 voice, with my desired string of changes. It IS well capable of THAT! That, I have been looking for a replacement.
Nope! There are no replacements, for Senode! In this functional regard, it IS, THE BEST!

On to my 2nd test song since Sab.’s latest update - back to 5*!
I am So phreakin’ happy to finally be able to reliabky use Senode again!! 😀✌🏼✌🏾🫡🇨🇦

crazy

conceptually unfathomable !

Documentation unhelpful

Where’s the documentation for the scene mode? What does the +Action button do?

Great sequencer

This is a very interesting app that is easy to get around in. The use of nodes connecting by direction is at once simple but powerful. Most importantly, it is inspiring to use and creates useful results. I find myself experimenting with it frequently and finding very good sounding, useful output. Very pleased, can’t begin to express how much I love using this..

FAQ

What is Senode and how does it work?

Senode is a music app that functions as a polyphonic modular step sequencer based on finite state machines. It uses a graph of nodes and edges to create complex, non-linear sequences. Emitters send tokens onto the graph, triggering sounds and generating MIDI signals, allowing for intricate generative music composition.

What are the key features of Senode?

Key features include its innovative non-linear graphical sequencer with probabilistic steps, MIDI control and binding for real-time performance, AUv3 plugin integration for DAWs, Ableton Link synchronization, and an integrated subtractive synthesizer. It's designed for complex sequencing and live performance.

How much does Senode cost?

The base Senode app is free to download and use. However, certain advanced features, such as AUv3 plugin integration, require an in-app purchase. This allows users to try the core functionality before committing to the full feature set.

What devices is Senode compatible with?

Senode is designed for iOS devices and can function as a standalone app or as an AUv3 plugin within compatible DAWs. It supports real-time control and synchronization with other MIDI-capable apps and external hardware devices.

What are some common use cases for Senode?

Senode is ideal for creating generative music, complex sequencing setups, and live music performances. Its flexible node-based system and real-time control capabilities make it suitable for composing intricate musical pieces, experimenting with polyrhythms, and controlling external hardware synthesizers.
