Turn your iPhone, iPad or Mac into a customizable MIDI controller. Plug in your synth, pick parameters by name, and start playing in seconds. Condukt connects to any class-compliant USB MIDI device. No adapters. No manual CC programming. Just plug in and go. ▸ PLUG AND PLAY Connect your synth via USB-C. Condukt recognizes it instantly. Pick parameters from a list, filter cutoff, oscillator pitch, envelope attack, and you're controlling it. No more digging through manuals for CC numbers. ▸ RUNS IN YOUR AUv3 HOST (NEW) Load Condukt as an Audio Unit inside AUM, Loopy Pro, Logic Pro for iPad, Cubasis or Drambo. It follows host transport and tempo, so every sequencer starts on the host's downbeat. Run as many instances as you like, each with its own board, clock and patch cables, and your host project saves and restores all of it. ▸ SEVEN SEQUENCERS Conduktor, Phrase, Drum, Arpeggiator, Turing Machine, Cartesian and Painter. Draw chords with a finger or Pencil, program a XOX drum grid with polyrhythmic track pages, or let a Turing Machine find the pattern for you. One clock runs them all. ▸ POWERED BY midi.guide Condukt uses the midi.guide open-source database with MIDI definitions for hundreds of synths, drum machines, and effects. Community-maintained and constantly growing. ▸ BUILD YOUR OWN BOARDS Create custom control surfaces tailored to your workflow. Sequencers, faders, crossfaders, recall buttons: arrange them however you want. Save multiple boards for different setups. ▸ DO WHAT YOUR HARDWARE CAN'T - Add multiple LFOs to synths that only have one - Shape any parameter with the new Step Modulator - Control the same parameter across multiple tracks with a single fader - Instant snapshot recall for live performance - Sophisticated generative sequencers ▸ MULTI-DEVICE CONTROL One board can control multiple synths simultaneously. A single "Filter" fader can adjust cutoff on your Minifreak, Digitakt, and Moog at the same time. ▸ PERFORMANCE LAYOUTS Switch between layouts on the fly. Page 1 for sound design. Page 2 for performance. Page 3 for mixing. All within the same board. ▸ SNAPSHOT RECALL Store and recall control settings instantly. Tap and hold to save. Quick tap to restore. Perfect for live sets. Add crossfaders and morph between saved scenes. ▸ FULLY THEMEABLE Condukt looks as good as it works. Custom themes make your controller visually distinctive, whether you're performing on stage or filming content. ▸ WORKS WITH Elektron (Digitakt, Syntakt, Octatrack, Analog Four, Model:Cycles, Model:Samples), Arturia (Minifreak, Microfreak, MiniBrute), Moog (Subharmonicon, DFAM, Mother-32, Matriarch), Teenage Engineering, Novation, Korg, Roland, Sequential, and hundreds more. ▸ MADE FOR MUSICIANS Built by synthheads for synthheads. We've been working on this project for 5+ years, and Condukt is the app we always wanted. Start free with the Hello board, subscribe monthly, or buy Lifetime once and be done. No account required.

Sequentia is a generative MIDI sequencer for synths, drum machines and modular. Add a module and it writes its own part: drums, basslines, arps, chords, melodies. Press Random and a full pattern is playing. Turn on Mutate and it keeps evolving while it runs. The pattern libraries are written for techno and acid, and the generative modules go further out than that. Seven finished demo tracks come with the app. WHAT WRITES THE PARTS Drums, eight lanes, with the swing each genre actually has. Tops, cymbals, shakers and claves over the kit, on one fader. Bass, sixteen styles from techno to dub to EBM. Acid, 303 lines that really slide. Chords and Arp, in your key, following each other. Stabs, from skank to rave. Piano, drawn by hand or written for you. Euclid, three rings at different lengths, drifting apart and landing together bars later. Rain, notes falling from a drizzle to a downpour. Bounce, physics balls playing your key off the walls. Sampler, your own loop, warped to the tempo and the key. Mod, LFOs that sweep your synth's knobs on their own. Vinyl, a record that turns while the rack plays. Mixer, to solo, mute and balance live. ONE STUDIO, YOUR WHOLE RIG Every module picks its own MIDI device and channel, so each machine gets its own part. MIDI over USB-C, Bluetooth or network. MIDI Clock in and out keeps the gear in time. In any DAW the app is a MIDI source you can record straight onto a track. Leave the app and the music keeps playing, with the controls on your Lock Screen. MODULATE AND CONTROL YOUR HARDWARE Pick your machine from the library and its control map loads, ready to turn: over a hundred and thirty synths, grooveboxes and drum machines, every map read out of its own manual. Put an LFO on any of those knobs and it sweeps in time with the pattern. Arm the red R, turn a knob by hand, and the move becomes a loop locked to the bar. CC coming in works too, so a controller fires Random, Mutate, mutes and the transport. LIVE JAM Every module keeps pattern slots. Fill them as you go and switch on the bar, like clips. Live Performer is one pad for the whole rack: move a finger and every module answers at once with more density, new variations or a break. Fills, swing and humanize are a tap each, while everything runs. SCENES, AND A SET YOU CAN PLAY Save a section as a scene, put the scenes in order, and the timeline plays the set. Or switch scenes by hand while it runs. A project holds several racks, each with its own key and tempo, so a breakdown can sit lower and slower than the drop. ONE PROGRESSION, EVERYTHING FOLLOWS Write the chords once. The basslines, arps and stabs follow the changes. NO HARDWARE YET Every module plays through the app's own synth, free, so a whole track works with nothing attached. Load your own samples into the Sampler, or build a drum kit out of them. EVERYTHING IN ONE PROJECT Notes, patterns, scenes, samples, routing and arrangement live in one project that saves itself. Take the whole thing out in one step: the rack as MIDI, or every scene as its own folder, named so the session opens in your DAW making sense. Samples come with it if you want them. ON IPHONE AND IPAD One app for both. On the tablet the rack becomes a grid of cards you page through, three across on a 13 inch. Menus come in from the right and leave the instrument where it is. Open a module and it steps into the middle of the screen with its settings beside it. Landscape, for a stand and two hands. Turn iCloud on and the same projects, presets and samples are on both devices, in a Sequentia folder you can see in Files. Off until you switch it on. Sequentia is free, and so is the built in sound, Live Performer and CC Control. Sequentia Pro adds pattern slots, scenes, several racks, every drum style, your own libraries, unlimited projects and MIDI export.
