OCTACHRON MIDI Drum Sequencer Reviews

Fav drum sequencer

capedape on

United States

I saw it mentioned somewhere that people were wanting a MidiStep record feature, that would be absolutely amazing to have. That said, this is still my favorite sequence on iOS.

Yes

Really great drum sequencer with all the common app midi mappings. I really wish there was a way to preview sounds.

DOES NOT WORK

I love the app, but the latest update has broken my projects

Obis11 on

United States

The latest update has made it so a majority of my patterns within AUM sessions, the patterns in octachron have disappeared. This has completely stopped my latest projects that include octachron. I’m not sure if it’s because these were larger sessions, but before the latest update these projects had no issues. I tried contacting the developer on one of the other platforms directed to by the site and was unable to get a response, so I’m posting here. Also I would love it if there was the option to add more patterns.

Very difficult to change patterns

antihcl on

United States

The manual is not helpful at all on this. Other sequencers can change patterns by being sent midi notes - this can’t. It’s so close to being great but it’s only really usable if you only want one pattern. And it has a maximum of only 8 patterns. Trying to use this in Drambo is a nightmare.

If there exist a sequencer, Debeloped Near Perfection! With Integrity!

Deathrow Inmates on

United States

Hey, wheres my updated review? Btw I don’t think that, any desktop, iPadOS, MarsOs, UranusOs, Any sequencer from the galaxy, would be able ever to reach the Sheer Elegance and Aristocracy of this Sequencer! It is the only one, if you can name only one sequencer that comes 10% close to this, There is none! This why, I keep saying that the storm of the third renaissance is approaching slowly, but surely! Regards! I am so sorry for reviewing this so lately, It is a crime on my part. My Apologies! Sorry.

No Sound Output

lamusicadelao on

United States

App seems to work very smoothly, except one problem... NO SOUND OUTPUT. Not with headphones, onboard speakers, or bluetooth. Drum sequences aren't very fun to use if they are completely silent. Please fix!! Very disappointing.

My all time favorite!

egoki11a on

United States

OMG! Hands down my all time favorite sequencer, and I have a lot of them. I am blown away at how much this specific sequencer allowed me to unlock all of my other apps, and hardware!!!
