Excellent, thanks!
Is there a way for the Midimap to be global?
Bindings appear to be per 'Set' only.
ok I get this now, you only have 3 ccs to control AU parameters on each slot. But it means some global midi ccs which you can't access via the AU can't be used. Shame but then you can always host the AUs in AUM. So it is working but restricted. Also not sure why instead of ccs, notes are used to control the pattern changing, not sure I see the advantage....
Grr. Autosave sucks. > @crony said:
Mostly, "no".
The "sort of"s:
The yes: there is swing but it's for the whole project, not per track or per pattern. The swing is excellent (like Funkbox's).
@syrupcore hmm, not that bad, at least with selecting pattern thu midi notes, BUT, does the pattern goes till the end before changing to the next one ? Can you set that ?
On the Arturia beat step for instance, you can't, while it's sync as slave, which is just totally useless for me, as MidiSTEPS would be for me if it's the case...
So no swing or anything else controllable with an external controller? I'd like to assign the swing to a knob at least...
@crony you can set patterns to wait or change immediately
Thanks, @syrupcore !
More and more tempted...
@crony It's not "The Ultimate MIDI Sequencing App" by any measure. It's a fun/immediate MIDI step sequencer. It's very much modeled after the Roland SH-101 sequencer. You can use it like the Beatstep or a drum machine (etc) by filling the pattern with rests first and then editing steps but it's really built to "record notes and rests in->play notes and rests back". If you start from the "It's an SH-101 style sequencer with benefits" mindset instead of the "Ultimate MIDI Sequencer" mindset, all of the features feel like amazing additions (vs the lack of features feeling like shortcomings). There's a lot it doesn't do.
I wish tracks had a 4th mode in addition to record, transpose and pattern: thru. Just take the input and pass it on. It's easy to mistakenly fill a pattern with garbage because you mistakenly left it in record mode and sent some notes. I've basically wrecked a couple of projects by mistakenly connecting a drum app's virtual midi out to midisteps and had patterns instantly filled beyond 64 steps (and freezing the app).
I wish to all versions of heaven it didn't have autosave.
I wish you could set a MIDI input per track. And an optional 5th input for transpose.
I wish some of the track settings were available per pattern, especially clock division and randomization.
I wish it had a song mode like Infinite Looper's where you can make a song step by using any collection of patterns. Or a scene mode that allowed you to do the same and then trigger those scenes via another dedicated MIDI input. You could then use something like midiSequencer to put together the song by setting midiSequencer's clock to 1/16 or whatever.
It's such an inspiring app to me that I find it easy to wish it had X, Y and Z (and a, b and c...) but I bet many of those things would spoil the fun. I love the sequencer on my sh-101 and would happily pay 10 bucks to be able to use it with my other synths. This app gives me 4 of those sequencers and a whole lot more.

Cool! Thanks for posting.
Don't think there has been an update to the manual since 1.0.
And thanks to Art of course for updating this too.
Handy and dandy, well done that man...
Re: my midimap question.
From the manual... "Tapping the New Set text button will create a new, blank set. The settings for this new empty set are based on the current active set, so if you have a specific MIDI or other configuration you’d like to use for your new set, just load up an old set that has that configuration before creating the new one."
This however doesn't appear to copy the midimap, it's always blank on a new set.
Anybody been able to locate a 'global' setting for the midimap?
Can't fathom I'd need to do this each time.
Even as I write this I'm beginning to think it's likely because the triggers used are 'notes' which because when used as a tigger are not sent as note data. Mapping notes that aren't used in the 'song' to the midimap would likely vary between projects.
Guess I could create a 'template' set and just copy that each time but a 'global' midimap option would be much nicer.
Does this beat Modstep now?
Apples and oranges. It "beats" it if your measure is "simple sh-101 style sequencer".
