• Pattern playback can proceed automatically to the next pattern, to a specific pattern, or even to a random pattern • A pattern can be defined as the default pattern for each playback restart 
• The loop count for chaining to another pattern increments only after all the pattern's lines have been fully read at least once • Redesigned preset selector with support for In-App Purchase packs • Two new preset packs available as In-App Purchases: Analog Sequence and Dance Horizons. Each includes 6 free demo presets. • Reordering the lines no longer causes synchronization issues between the lines during playback 
• The pattern player has been revised to fix issues with automatic sequencing that could, in some cases, cause a step to be skipped • Minor bugs fixed

User reviews

very useful application

I like this application. Unfortunately, I couldn't update the older Mac version 4.52 to the current version.

However, the developer contacted me immediately and provided truly exceptional support. He explained everything in detail and invested a lot of time. Now the current version runs perfectly on my Mac mini and also on my iPad.
Thank you so much, Mr. Colson

Keep coming back

I bought this app maybe 10+ years ago, and from time to time I get into song making, and every time I love this app the most. Probably one of the best developers and I am sorry I only paid this once! Get it

The best sequencer

Le meilleur séquenceur pour moi

Masterful

Such a good MIDI controller, can be used as an arp or sequencer, with patterns for song mode and even sends CC controls. Easy to use with many options, the best MIDI sequencer I have used on iPad.

Really exceptional app.

Initially I found this as a workaround to some USB MIDI controller’s native arpeggiators that were very jittery. Other arp apps had some features but were missing others. This has everything! I’ve actually replaced the hardware controller’s arpeggiator with StepPoly entirely and programmed it via MIDI Learn in AUM to do everything the controller did and more! Everything stays perfectly in sync and has every arp parameter imagineable. Good job!
