DM2 MixPad Mobile Lite vs CronSequitur

**Don't just listen to music. Play with it!** DM2 MixPad transforms your iPhone or iPad into a hands-on live remix instrument. Build beats, trigger loops, layer sounds, manipulate effects, and create your own electronic music performances in real time. **No DJ experience required. No complicated timeline editing. Just you and the music.** Inspired by the legendary Mixman DM2 and classic hardware remix systems, DM2 MixPad brings the excitement of live electronic music performance to modern devices. Unlike traditional Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs), where music is arranged on a timeline, DM2 MixPad lets you perform your music as it happens. Bring tracks in and out, create breakdowns, layer rhythms, trigger sounds, and transform your mix on the fly. **CREATE, SAVE, AND KEEP PLAYING — FOR FREE!** DM2 MixPad Lite lets you explore live remixing without purchasing the full version. Build your own performances, save your creations in MixPad's native file formats, and reopen them whenever inspiration strikes. Your creativity doesn't have to stop when you close the app. When you're ready to export your finished performances as M4A audio files, you can unlock the full version with a one-time in-app purchase. **MAKE MUSIC YOUR WAY** Whether you love house, techno, trance, dubstep, drum & bass, hip-hop, or experimental electronic music, DM2 MixPad gives you the freedom to build and perform your own remixes. Start with a drum loop, add a bassline, bring in synthesizers, create a breakdown, and launch back into the full mix—all while keeping everything synchronized. Create evolving live sets with up to 16 simultaneous tracks and multiple performance banks. **POWERFUL LIVE PERFORMANCE FEATURES** • 16-track live remix and performance system • Real-time loop triggering and synchronized playback • Build evolving live sets with playlists and performance banks • Trigger one-shots, samples, and layered musical elements • Quantized and non-quantized playback modes • Beat, bar, and cycle-aware triggering • Live stutter, solo, and retrigger controls • Real-time scratching and pitch manipulation • Expressive pitch bending and audio effects • Filters, flanger, phaser, and reverb • Integrated sequencer for refining and arranging performances • Save and reopen songs, layouts, packages, and playlists in native MixPad formats • Mixman DM2 hardware support and additional MIDI controller mappings • Responsive, low-latency audio performance **FREE TO CREATE.

CronSequitur is a step sequencer with a grid layout that feels like real hardware, not a menu system with deeply nested functions you may never find. Every step can carry more than a note. Program changes and control changes sit right beside the note, not in a separate menu. A 2 to 64 step grid and full time-signature control make odd meters and unusual pattern lengths part of the design, not an afterthought. The core app needs no purchase. Two optional in-app purchases add more: Standard, a one-time purchase, and Pro, a one-time purchase or an annual subscription. If you already own Standard, Pro's one-time purchase is offered to you as an upgrade. Each paid feature is listed below under the purchase that includes it; everything else described here is part of the core app. CORE APP • The step sequencer and step editor: program changes and control changes on any step, 2 to 64 steps per pattern, full time-signature control • MIDI output to your external gear • The built-in synth, with a tempo-synced delay and a two-band EQ • Transpose: shift a pattern to another key without rewriting its notes, saved with the preset • Undo and redo for every edit, with no limit until you save • Unlimited presets • The metronome's audio click, visual beat indicators and count-in, and tap tempo • Export, import and back up your presets and songs in CronSequitur's own file format • Build and edit songs from your patterns, with sections, repeats and tempo changes • Full playback of the demo songs in the Library's Factory section • A preview of the first section of each song in My Songs, which holds the songs you build and any demo song you copy or edit. Full playback of these songs requires Pro (Song Playback, below). • Daylight mode, a high-contrast display for direct sun STANDARD IN-APP PURCHASE (ONE-TIME) • Virtual MIDI Output: send MIDI to other apps on the same device, no cables • Tags: tag your presets and filter them by tag • MIDI File Import & Export: standard MIDI files, to and from your DAW and other gear • Device Profiles: built-in and custom profiles that show your gear's own controls and labels • Screen Flash: a full-screen flash on each metronome beat • Metronome Haptics: a vibration on each metronome beat (iPhone only) • Tap Tempo Guard: TAP must be armed with one tap before it changes the tempo, so a stray touch mid-set does nothing • Performance Octave: shift your pattern up to three octaves up or down, live, while you perform PRO IN-APP PURCHASE (ONE-TIME OR ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION) Pro includes everything in Standard, plus: • Song Playback: full playback of the songs in My Songs, start to finish, with every section, repeat and tempo change, a countdown to the next section and your own stage cues on screen • Section Pads: jump to or loop any song section live • Audio Backing Tracks: import audio files to play along with your songs • Tempo-Locked Playback: backing tracks detect their tempo and stretch to match your song • Group Sync: many musicians, one song. Each player runs their own part on their own device, and the whole band starts, stops, changes tempo and moves through the song together over local Wi-Fi. Every device in the session needs Pro. • Section Audio Tracks: give each song section its own backing track Independently made in Maine. Fair pricing, no dark patterns, no surprises, built by a musician who wanted this to exist.
