Cool!

This is my first sequencer. Connected my Yamaha keyboard USB, opened this app, and immediately had some hypnotic tones. Can’t wait to connect the Juno and a drum machine.

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.

Can’t send CC to my jt-4000

Can’t send CC to my jt-4000. It only received cc74 for the filter. Rest of the cc doesn’t work. With other apps no problem so it’s a StepBud problem

FAQ

What does StepBud do?

StepBud is a MIDI sequencer that allows you to create and control sequences of musical notes and parameters. It functions as an Audio Unit (AUv3) plugin, meaning it needs to be used within a compatible host application like AUM or Cubasis to generate sound.

What are the key features of StepBud?

Key features include an unlimited number of steps, detailed control over each step's note, velocity, rate, and other MIDI parameters, custom MIDI CC message sending, step locking and skipping, and a master fader for global control. It also offers a powerful Step Editor for in-depth note manipulation.

Is StepBud free to use?

Yes, StepBud is offered for free. Its core components are also available on GitHub, encouraging community contribution and development.

What devices and apps are compatible with StepBud?

StepBud requires an iOS 11+ device and an Audio Unit host application such as AUM, apeMatrix, Cubasis, or BeatMaker to function as an AUv3 plugin. You will need to route StepBud's MIDI output to the audio app or audio unit you wish to sequence.

How can I use StepBud for live performances?

You can create interesting live performances by using features like step skipping to create rhythmic variations, or by utilizing the lock mode for fluid adjustments with swipe gestures. The master fader's shift mode can also be used to dynamically alter sequences in real-time.
