Description

midiSTEPs is a powerful and fun MIDI AUv3 step sequencer app that sends MIDI note and CC messages to other music apps and external synthesizers. It was designed to be super easy to use in a way that's similar to the SH-101 sequencer, where you can just quickly enter a few keyboard notes and you're ready to hit play and hear your sequence. At the same time, it also incorporates many ideas from other classic and modern sequencers, allowing you to set control values per step, mute and skip existing steps, switch between multiple patterns and parts, sync and link patterns in various ways, and modify your sequences.
midiSTEPs was designed from the ground up as a touch-based iPad sequencer app, so it's super easy and intuitive to enter, edit and play sequences.

64 step sequencer based on the classic SH-101 sequencer

My favourite sequencer now upgraded to AUV3, Yesss! Thank you Art for this app. I agree with a previous reviewer though, this is definitely not a “toy” sequencer

Superb!

A very competent and professional midi sequencer. Especially when paired with Audiobus 3. Maybe you should think about removing the word "toy" from the app title, Mr. Kerns. It could be misleading to potential customers.

Super MIDI Sequencer

Unique and flexible MIDI sequencer that keeps improving with each update. Great stuff ❤️

Great midi sequencer

Definitely not a toy 😄 Lovely user interface and some deep sequencing features, my latest favourite is step probability / randomisation. Would be 5 stars if it had Ableton Link and separate audio outs for hosted Audio Units. Good documentation too.

Awesome combo with the iSEM AU

Just bought this because of the AU hosting and already having loads of fun with 4 instances of iSEM.

Love this.

Such a great app for structuring harmonic thoughts, but I also made a killer Gene Krupa style swing groove with this using some of the length and velocity randomness features which I'll never forget. Only request is to bring it to the iPhone, at least as an AUv3, so I can have compatibility with Cubasis projects I share/send between the devices.

Perfect SH-101 Sequencer

It’s like having 4+ Roland SH-101 sequencers on steroids. Everything you love about the 101 sequencer PLUS everything you ever wanted from the 101 sequencer in one tidy little app. And then some. Full on love affair.

Thx for the update

I have had this app for a few days, and I just can not leave it alone! The title calls it a toy, but it doesn’t feel or behave like one. I have some minor issues with it, but mostly I really like it. There are lots of possibilities here, especially working with a multi-timbral synth like the Korg iM1 or the bs-16i. It’s extremely flexible, with lots of options for variability. I especially love the ability to randomize the notes, or the velocity, or the note gate length. Being able to do this allows the sequences to sound a lot less mechanical and boring. The one feature I’m still getting used to is the file saving system; it just doesn’t operate the way you think it does. There’s no option to just save the “set” you’re working on, or at least I can’t find it. It would also be really nice to have a good assortment of scales to pick from; the app provides only major & minor. Nevertheless I still give it 5 stars; VERY interesting app. Updating as of 9/8/2020: latest update allows MidiSTEPs to be used within AU host apps like AUM; this works very well; each instance of MidiSTEPs is one sequencer like the ones in the stand-alone app, and you can use as many as you like...
