Yeah I figured you were wise to what I was suggesting. Usually, it is you helping me figure stuff out.
Link has a minimum tempo of 20 BPM too - not sure why these devices and software are so limited - 20 is quite high really - why not allow 1?
Yes, I know this is a stupid question, but how do I change the tempo on Quantum?
Slide up or down on the number next to “Tempo” at the bottom left of the screen. Or, double tap the number and enter the numbers.
Make sure you don’t have Tempo Set to “Slave” in the options.
A BPM of 1 per minute should be an option. Why not? It could be useful in some situations.
But too say one beat every three seconds 'is quite high really' is quite silly really.
Thanks!
Quantum does 1BPM - I was referring to Ableton Link (and many hardware step sequencers) that don't go as low.
15 BPM on Quantum is plenty high enough considering you can still range steps to play in 1/10000 to 36 seconds (although technically 1/1000 is the max for IOS).
My apologies if this has already been asked but can you zoom in like you could on midi sequencer? My big fingers are having trouble on my iphone se.
@midiSequencer
I have a feature request: When you are editing the step times, would it be possible to have some sort of display showing the total loop time? Maybe in beats, so a four step sequence at 1/1 would show 16, for instance. Realised that I'm spending a lot of time trying to calculate what different times add up to - and that's the sort of thing computers are supposed to be good at!
There is a new UI planned which may well make this easier.
Done - will be on next update.
In the time display I calculate the total length of the part (as a fraction of steps - so 1/1=1.0000 & 4/1D=6.0000 etc). I can't really display this as 1+1/64T say - but hopefully this at least tells you what to match or if you have an integer number of steps.
This is shown just under the title (which also shows the filename or music scale - so it switches back to them when you move off the Time display). Also, as the sum is from start to end, modifying start or end updates the total.
Great idea and great way to show it. Thanks both!
Thanks!
Your numbering scheme sounds perfect for my needs.

New update v1.3 submitted to Apple
Bug Fixes
. Reverse loop type now resets to end step - was causing an issue with master/slave sync
. Mixer Link was not working with just one sequence with parts
. Can now touch controls above step options & chord panels when open
. Chromatic step notes now selectable with faders & inc/dec buttons.
. Sequencer Audiobus Midi option was not opening Devices panel
Enhancements
. Addednotes/Chords now work on relative velocity & gate again 0..100% of step note setting
. Step Trigger Conditions: Mute, Skip or MuteChords on every nth loop. You can also invert n so trigger applies on loops other than n.
. select mode no longer restricts controls to be accessed with selection
. Sequences no longer default to Master or Slave but None. Change in Setup panel
. Audiobus 3.0.3 sdk
. new sequences now default to midi override ch = slot. Copy/paste/load leaves untouched. Show Channel button now warns if ch override applies
. New Option Midi MMC start/stop allows external hardware (e.g. Arturia beatsteps) to start & stop & reset the song playback. You can use this with Slave mode (and enable midi clock on the input) to follow the external hardware tempo (beatstep seq mode). If you have an IOS app that sends midi MMC you can do this on device.
Note : IOS apps like AUM do not send midi MMC only respond to it.
This only applies to coreMidi not AB3 midi at the moment - will probably add later.
. Time interval faders now show total time (in step fractions) under title - as a guide to overall seq/part length
. iphone X support
yes!
Very much appreciated!
I will be trying this later today or whenever it shows up on the Appstore. Your last tutorial on loop actions was awesome. Eagerly awaiting more, but not trying to rush you or anything. Just praising you and this incredibly vast and capable sequencer.
thx - going to cover midi input next in the manual and probably work on another audio session demo you can download (this time with Moog M15)
Unlike so many other shiny new things, the allure of this app has yet to fade.
++. It only gets more and more intriguing to me. It's just soooo open ended but isn't a giant blank canvas. You can just mash some stuff in there and with scale mode, keep that mashing musical and then develop from there.
YESSSSSS! Thank you!
Think it's time for a new recipe: "10 ways to make your 8-step loop sound and feel like a lot more than 8 steps."
Step Trigger Conditions ! Yes!! Thank you Tony
@midiSequencer your updates go live faster than anyone else I know. It’s already up! You obviously have someone on payroll in the review dept?
Thanks for the heads up!
I tried Step Trigger Conditions, and I have a lot of fun
One thing though : the way you did it, I can't find how to force a step to play only on the 4th bar (that mean once every 4 loops, but starting on the 4th bar). I chose the 'Mute' option on the Trigger parameter, then 4 and then 'Inv', but then the step will play on the first bar, then 5th, etc...
I am using trigger conditions to add variety on my drums, but also to add fills mainly on 4th bars of my sequences.
I must be missing something, thank you for your help
Sounds like another trigger condition might be needed to accomplish what you want, maybe Mute/Play on the nth loop, so the step is always muted and only plays on the nth loop.
Nope - but they are fast - 12 hour turnaround!!
Guys, i have a really sweet groove going into Zeeon, but in Key of E. I really like what i am hearing, but this is one rack, so i cloned that rack, and now i want the new clone to play in Key of A, how do i do it so it automatically changes to that one after so many bars etc.
Now, I don’t know if this is implemented yet But i inserted Navichord in the midi in slot, of AB3, and Quantum in the middle slot of the midi AB3 section and Zeeon AU in the midi out. So, when i playback Quantum is not responding to the chords played by Navichord. Is this not available yet?
yep - I am assuming n=1,n,2n,3n etc for normal. For inverted 2,3,4..n-1 (but not n) then n+1,n+2,,,,2n-1, but not 2n ).
If I add another option in n so you have:
1,n = 1,n,2n,3n etc (default)
n = n,2n,3n, etc (so misses out 1).
inv = as mentioned for inverted = 2,3,..n-1,n+1....etc
Got it to work! I added it next to Navichord in the Midi in Slot of AB3 and it does receive the midi chord changes from Navichord. But it sounds a bit garbled. I wonder if it is expecting only a single note instead of a chord?
@MusicMan4Christ I'd love to hear some of your creations or take a look at some of your loops. I am still approaching this from the most remedial of angles: one rack per synth, each playing a single part in a larger groove, like a full band. I'm trying to break out of this approach by delving into some of the things like the probability settings, trigger conditions, etc. but while I understand them in concept I'm having a hard time finding my own musicality within. You're very active on this thread and thought by reverse-engineering your stuff I may get my head around the possibilities a bit more.
In my case it would be like the blind leading the blind lol
sort of speak. I’m just tapping my way around and I know I should read the manual but there no time. So I’ve been using the interactive help on the app.
But I got this really nice groove going sounds Bassy with Zeeon but also sounds like a guitar doing nice plucks with delay. But I want to be able to change the root key on the fly! Like have it play in E then go to A or B or C#m etc. so I thought by pre programming that in Navichord I could do it but it may not be yet available although it has midi in and a switch to ignore transposing. So I don’t get it.
