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. midiSTEPs features: 64 step sequencer based on the classic SH-101 sequencer Set note, chord or rest per step Set accent and tie per step Set CC, velocity, length parameters per step Mute and skip individual steps Probability options for individual steps Set start and end points within sequence Edit individual steps Transpose, loop or one shot, start and pattern sync options Four independent sequencer parts with 16 patterns each per set Parts can have different speeds, lengths, sync and trigger options Pattern Mix page with clip-launcher style pattern triggering External MIDI clock sync with clock shift adjustments and swing MIDI AUv3 extension support allows you to use midiSTEPs as a plugin in AudioBus, AUM, Cubase, etc Ableton Link syncing support Audiobus 3 MIDI support Easy to set up CoreMIDI configuration and MIDI mapping Easy to use touch interface designed specifically for iPad

More AU features are planned... Bug fixes - iOS 8 crash with Sound parts fixed - MIDI input was octave off, now fixed - AU list was buggy with multiple AUs, now fixed - Hanging notes in certain situations fixed - Pattern link didn't work with pattern popup window, fixed - Max value for random and length automation bugs, fixed - "Save" has been renamed "Sets" to clarify it isn't a save button - Misc display glitches, fixed 1.2 04/12/2016 New: Set random trigger probability, per step Set randomization of velocity and length of notes, per part Keyboard can be limited to a major or minor scale Keyboard goes two octaves lower Auto-hold option for press step screen, set in Settings app Audiobus Bonus feature: AU Extension hosting! Please note: - this is an experimental feature for a new iOS 9 API, keep expectations in check - that said, it's a whole lot of fun... - there is currently only one released synthesizer AU Extension, iSEM - you can run multiple instances of iSEM within midiSTEPs, automate parameters per step, and more - AU extension effects are not currently supported, just synths - certain things can sometimes cause clicks with iSEM: fast runs of notes, ties with some patches, etc - if using multiple AU parts, use the audio mixer popup to lower individual parts and overall volume to avoid clipping - experiment with audio buffer size, other AU extensions when they're released, recording via AB and let me know what works and what doesn't - this is a step towards the future but it's not ready for your live set yet... experiment in your spare time and have fun Plus, the ever popular other misc fixes and improvements. 1.1 12/19/2015 Bug fixes Made it more obvious when parts are muted or soloed Timing tweaks If you are still experiencing timing hiccups, try 1) increasing "buffer" in settings 2) decrease audio buffer size in synth apps or audiobus 3) disable MIDI clock send 1.0.1 10/28/2015 1.0 10/10/2015
