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..

My 4th review. So long … 1 ar time? 4. More? 2. :(
I had previously, mistakenly thought that Senode worked great with more than 2 instances of it. Very regrettably, no, it does not. :(
1 x Senode instance works beautifully, for a great length of time. As well, with a lot of conditional choices!
Try more than 1 instance though - within the same module or as a 2nd module? Uh uh. :(
False starts on 1 or both. Sync between the 2 of them, failing Notes being triggered, unreliable.
In my 39 years of working with many MIDI sequencers on / in many platforms, for my own hobbies, Senode has been one of the easiest to use and most capable, in it’s somewhat extra legths of time ways! (Not intended for live performance. Standard i-Pad screen is too small for fast-action, small accurate adjustments.)
This has become my greatest missing MIDI sequencer due, to it’s seemingly 2+ year abandoned, problems.
Still searching for an alternative.

Want to like it but…
It just refuses to get ticks from the clock as a auv3 in aum. I press play and nothing happens. It’s driving me crazy.
Must have
Fantastic for generative. Easy and intuitive to use. Nothing like it as far as I know.
Wow!!!
Ok what in the world THANK YOU! Ive been looking for something like this forever. I am running the app on my m1 macbook pro and then outputting the midi to ableton. Seriously thank you!!! I only had it for 10 minutes… i wish the tempo could go slower but i guess i can work around that!!! I look fed to exploring any other works or developments thank you sincerely!!

Auv3 kostet extra
Super Tool für kreatives Musizieren. Leider muss die AUv3 Funktionalität extra erworben werden. Was nicht wirklich kommuniziert wird beim Kauf. War das nötig?
My 3rd review. Back UP to 5*!
I finally realized a few weeks ago, that possibly all of the odd app behaviors with MIDI and audio over the last 10+ years has been due to Audiobus / Audiobus 3! Tried firing up Senode by itself. Working beautifully! I added a MIDI synth app to be controlled by Senide - working perfectly! Without Audiobus3. I added a 2nd MIDI synth app. It and then a 3rd, all worked together with Senode, perfectly! WithOUT Audiobus3! Without a mixer!
Sebastian - you’re reading - THANK YOU!! I have wanted sequencer abilities like this, for DECADES! I’ve just started my 3rd minimal sequenced / live improvisation ambient piece in as many days and I an so horribly addicted! 😀😀✌🏻🖖🏽🇨🇦

Lame
I bought thinking the auv3 was included. I mean come on, anything that’s auv3 these days is included in the price. Nobody wants to listen to your lame included samples. Great app but lame pricing structure.
Promising but missing a few items that could help creative flow.
I really really want to use this but am having difficulty placing ‘phrase’ of notes with timings. I can record a single note without a note length. There’s an onscreen keyboard to place a note in a node via the ‘record’ button, but why not allow a string or ‘phrase’ of nodes be placed by providing a metronome and filling in the nodes with timings, which could be tweaked later.
Also, there are some times when you’d like a node to hit on a specific beat (usually on the beat) if it is a cluster that is defining a more rigid form of phrasing variations. It would be great to be able to have nodes that hold a note until a certain beat is reached, or some other intuitive way of harnessing timings in a conditional manner.
I love what this is capable of, but it just doesn’t flow with my thinking when I try learning to use it.I’m probably the most neurally divergent of creative types and as such, the workflow is holding me back when I know it could be easier or offer more ways to work with it.

Promising! Simple good and also too simple.
This app is really easy to get your gead around.
I would like some more features though, like copy/paste or duplicate.
It would also be nice to run two sequences from one emitter- to be able to split and merge chains, for more interesting polyphony.
Split could be a toggle inside the node sidebar. Merge shouldn’t need a setting.
That said, its nicely designed, i look forward to using it more.

AUv3 MIDI should have been an original feature.
I definitely am not paying for a standard ‘basic’ feature.
Buena idea aún por desarrollar
La app debería poder ser automatizable en volumen, velocidad, divisiones de tempo, etc para cda emisor al menos, de otro modo suena muy robótica con esos parámetros asignados de manera fija.
Finally AUv3!
Very powerful, endless possibilities!
Bought this recently…
… and while I’ve just used the presets, I can’t get it to send midi to anything either in an apps stand alone mode or in a host like AUM.
I can see it in AUM - even though it doesn’t load it. And I can see the midi receiving app in Senode in controls (and direct it to the synth), but no midi is sent.

Loving is so far!
Only issue is the lack of auv3 support. Hopefully that’s coming soon? Thanks dev.
10/04/2020 Update. IIA was recently added! It’s not AUV3, but I’m not complaining. Thank you so much dev, I really love this app!!!

This is good, buy it!
I have only just come across this app in the last couple of days and it’s the best iOS sequencer I’ve bought so far, and I’ve bought quite a few. There are some YouTube videos if you want to see how it works, and I was very pleased to find that it can be used with AUM. You can’t insert it into a channel but you can send midi to plugins that you’ve put into AUM. You just need to make sure AUM is selected in Senode and the midi channel for the synth corresponds with midi input in AUM. You need to change the setting from synth to midi in Senode and make sure you have AUM selected as midi sources for any synth your using in AUM itself. It took me a few minutes to get the hang of it, but it’s well worth it. One other thing, once you’ve created your sequences and setup AUM remember to enable Ableton Link so that the playback and record functions in AUM will start the sequence(s) in Senode.
