L’appli est bien pensé, simple à utiliser franchement c’est super. On peut créer pas mal de choses rien que sur l’appli est couplé à une machine c’est vraiment cool! Il manque plus qu’à pouvoir enregistrer des projets ça serait vraiment top! 👀
Et un raccourci en haut pour pouvoir annuler notre modif plus rapidement que de secouer son téléphone ou d’aller dans historique, merci l’équipe

Response from developer
Merci beaucoup pour la belle note et pour votre retour ! Pas besoin d’enregistrer votre projet : chaque modification est sauvegardée automatiquement, et l’Historique permet de revenir à n’importe quel moment de votre travail. Pour annuler la dernière action, il suffit de secouer l’appareil. Avoir plusieurs projets en parallèle fait partie de Sequentia Pro. Si vous avez des idées, des suggestions ou des envies, écrivez-nous sans hésiter : sequentia.studio/support
Pricing!
Good app but 100$ is too much!

Response from developer
Thank you for the five stars! Lifetime is only one of the options: there are also monthly and yearly plans, so you can pick whichever suits you best. Every plan unlocks the same Pro features.
Nice concept
It has a nice design layout, good sounds and is fun to play around with. But the pricing for a license to run this app is horrible. $80 to avoid paying a subscription fee? Disappointing.

Impressive app!
An impressive new app. If you want a streamlined tool for live jamming and sequencing external gear (drum machines, synths), particularly for electronic music, you need to try this out. I was shopping for a more powerful hardware sequencer. For the time being, not anymore!
One difficulty with using sequencers is that you need a good balance between usability and depth. Too technical and deep and you get stuck in programming stages and experiments. Too superficial and you end up with the same bloopy sequences or beats again and again.
Here you can quickly find a key, lay down one or two types of sequences (e.g. acid line, general bass, or stabs, basic euclidian) and then randomize, create quick variants, and apply various mutations. Even better: you can work out sequences on phone (and now ipad) with stock sounds to use later once you’re back working with hardware. All of these features push you towards making music. For example, you can’t edit the stock sounds and the core sequence types are deliberately constrained (e.g. a single euclidian sequencer has three pulses at a time).
I’ve used the app quite a bit in the last week and have found a couple minor bugs, usability issues, and had a couple of ideas for development.
Possible bugs: Sometimes stabs pitch up and down an octave when you enter them or randomize. It’s not always clear why. The visual representation has also been inconsistent on them sometimes. I also love the new iPad release generally (was using phone version on iPad) but I’ve noticed if I add variations (which introduces a new bottom row to the rack card) the display cuts the very top and bottom off of the display. Still perfectly usable, but might benefit from being longer.
Usability: I like the ‘halo’ gradient effect when you touch the screen and make selections. It works well on the dark versions of the app. However, on the light versions, the halo obscures the display enough that it can be difficult to navigate some options.
Ideas for development: I much appreciate the minimal approach and like the choice to avoid too much customization. Suggestion 1: I would love to be able to offset the start of a sample (e.g. to start a bar or two into the sequence). Suggestion 2: in the chord sequence, I would appreciate the option to select ‘silence’ or ‘no chord’ for a section of the sequence. This would allow for sequences with breaks.
Thanks for your work on this, keep it up!

Very intriguing app, but…
$80 is a little steep for the perpetual license. I completely understand that developers need to get paid, particularly solo ones, but $80 is on the extreme high end when compared to some of the best tools in the industry. I mean I can get some of the best synths, fx, sequencers out there, packed with content, for significantly less and those are backed by a team of devs and piece of mind that it won’t be vapor ware in 6 months.
BTW, this does really appear to be a well thought out, polished app that’s worth investing time into learning but the pricing model as it is now is probably gonna be too much of a barrier. I’d love to be able to outright own the app, but for now I’ll probably continue testing the free portions as long as possible, to get a better feel for what’s on offer here. Kudos to the dev if there’s no time limit or major restrictions for checking it out.
My advice to the dev would be: you have a legitimately interesting app here and to consider a rent-to-own option and/or dropping the full price to $30 max. Again, I sympathize with the plight of a solo developer, but some of the best iOS music making apps are a fraction of the cost of this one. I mean access to Apple Logic on iPad costs me $4.99/month.
Either way I’m really interested in testing out this app and will support it the best I can if the functionality matches the presentation, but the pricing does seem a little out of sync with market.
