Could soar with a couple added features

I’m learning that no sequencer is perfect, each one has strengths and weaknesses. This would be that much closer to superior if it also offered the basic direction options besides forwards: backwards, back and forth, random, etc. Also if it would remember notes when you shortened the sequence then re-lengthened it back, rather than erasing them. But still fun to play, and great potential.

Classic!

The OG step sequencer

Stepping out in style

Like all of Cems apps, it’s great value for money, easy to use and provides great results. Buy it!

READ BEFORE BUYING: Buy same devs Polybud

There’s something wrong with the CC output. Dev says not maintaining older apps. Buy his Polybud instead. Doesn’t have same issues.

Nice step sequencer; broken CC output

The CC output doesn’t reflect the sequencer. Unfortunately, the app being broken didn’t qualify it for a return.

Look down

The greatest sequencer ever created during the time human species used to roam around the green clean earth!

how?

How am I not able to size the app so I can access all of the functions? It’s selling me 70% of the app at full price, and makes it impossible for me to use the app for the purposes I bought it for.

For small purposes it can still work

For shorter loops, this app can still quickly make a sequence happen, so don’t worry if you only need it for single sections.

Even still, on an iPad, when this app is running as an auv3, the UI doesn’t fit to the window size. It’s not possible to get this app to fit inside the scene and it’s also not possible to scroll, leaving entire functions inaccessible and any sequence greater than 28 impossible. I have had to switch to a different sequencer.

Dream Sequencer!

This has everything I could possibly want in a sequencer. I just bought it ($5!!) and immediately hooked it up to a synth, synced to some of my drums in AUM and was off to techno town. I’ll take it to the studio later today and drive some modular voices with it. Snag SnakeBud too and you’ll have every sequencing option you’ll ever need for 10 bucks. ThankYouThankYouThankYou!

Problème sous cubasis 3

Marche sans problème en standalone, mais fait planter systématiquement cubasis 3 en mode midi plugin

Ui disappear in AUM

All the steps don’t show up in aum, please fix it . Thank you

Good fun -update NICE!

Great updates! If you find this hard to use, just slow down and give it some thought. If you’ve used any kind of arp or sequencer the concepts are there and nicely done.

I’m using this inside of NanoStudio 2 and it’s working great!

Great app

Whoever gave this a 1 star obviously didn’t know how to use this app. Works great in AUM. Can have lots of fun with polyrhythms etc using multiple instances. Spot on.

What? No OM? No thanks!

No operating manual! No help, no website, no user forums. This might be a useful app, but if one doesn't have instructions for it, then it will be useless for you ...as it was for me.

Response from developer

Hi, you can find a tutorial section in the standalone app. Also, you can always use the support section on the settings menu of the standalone app as well. In audiobus forums, there’s a dedicated StepBud thread, just use the search bar. On youtube, there are some detailed videos as well. I hope this would be useful and enough to change your mind for updating your rating :)

Poor

No instruction on connection to real or virtual instruments, tutorial jammed, buttons on the views of the app on the add not there. Confusing. Contacted company- got a reply explaining the app only produced sound thru say garage band which I know.- but gave no instruction on how to do this. Poor what a waste of money

Took a while to work out how to use more than one in AUM

This app took a while to get the hang of. At first I couldn’t work out why it was an AUV3 as I couldn’t run more than one. I finally found out that the sequencer needs to be disabled and then re-enabled. An in app help file would be useful, and If there is one, I’ve overlooked it. Apart from the initial difficulties this is a good app and very useful for getting background sequences up and running. I can see I’ll be using this a lot.

Quite good

This app is quite good and has saved me from buying a hardware Sequencer. Wish there was a manual available for it tho.

FANTASTIC

Once I figured out what I was doing wrong, I LOVE IT!!!

Fantastic Work Cem Olcay! Amazing App!

I have been using this wonderful app for a while now, and it is quite simply SO terrific, that I HAD to write a review because I'm so enthusiastic about it! The app is regularly updated, and NEW features are added left, right and centre! The added features are ALWAYS completely RELEVANT to the overall use of the app - that's what I like! No frills, NO Nonsense - just great thought put into the programming! Well done Cem Olcay on the BEST sequencer app around! Many Thanks, Roger.
