    This app is rock solid and hyperlogical.

    Maybe I should rename it "Logic" then and see what happens! :D

    You cannot afford to fight Apple’s lawyers :neutral:
    Not to mention, they will likely take your app down from the store!

    @gonekrazy3000 well, I've kind of stopped following all the drastic changes that Apple does to basic functionality in their devices / software. It's too bad, I suppose the App Store is an app for BUYING SOFTWARE and thus it should ALWAYS list ALL prices of ALL products that could in theory be purchased. The best I could do is list the IAP prices in the app description, in a "universal" currency (maybe US$), but according to the App Store guidelines, that's VERBOTEN. Kinda strange situation :)

  • I’ve been on the fence for this one for a while. Bought it straight away after seeing it’s on sale. I’ll probably get a few of the IAPs after having a play with it at least unlimited tracks. First thing I notice is I’m playing in 9/8 straight away and the metronome is also playing in 9/8. Respectable MIDI resolution makes this great. I’m glad to hear I’ll be able record more than one MIDI source at a time. I’m a big confused about the workflow as of now though having only spent a short amount of time.

  • edited September 2018

    You have to touch the down arrow next to In App Purchases to see the list of IAPs with prices.

  • So, the pencil icon in the bottom left screen is flashing and I cannot get the app to do anything other than stop and start!! I can’t even save it while I’m trying to figure out what is going on. Not seeing anything in the manual either.

    You can disable Draw Mode by tapping on the pencil icon again. The file manager, including Load/Save, can be found by tapping the "..." button at the top left.

    Hey, thanks for the quick reply. I tried all of that it must be some bug that froze it. For some reason the entire app was frozen except for start/stop. I was worried I’d have to redo my first test project but fortunately it was all still there after force closing the app and reopening. It’s all working now. I did take a quick screen recording if you want me to send it to support, but it’s not really going to show much other than a flashing “draw mode” you won’t be able to see the repeated attempts to select any and everything else.

  • @DMan, okay, glad you got it sorted. A total freeze is really something I've never heard of, I wonder what might have caused it.

    If it happens again and you can remember what steps you took to make it happen, please do PM me so I can have a look.

    Let me know if you have any further questions.

  • Couldn't resist although I don't know if I really need it at this moment. Guess I'm not the only one doing this.

  • @SevenSystems: What's the reason Xequence is unavailable for iOS 9 iPads?
    Being a MIDI sequencer, I don't think it's that resource hungry, is it?

    It's not very resource hungry, but it uses APIs (iOS features) that are only available on iOS 10 and later. Also, the older the iOS versions you support, the more testing is involved.

    OK, thanks.

  • @SevenSystems, Just took a look at your app and have some feedback on the visuals. When popups are opened, they don't have a clear window border - they are basically text-intensive and mixed/blended with the background content. For instance, tap the gear icon or the ... New (AutoSave) popup ups with some options all laid out in the "same color" on the same screen without a popup border. Suggest that there is some clear separation (box, contrasting color, etc) between the background screen and the popup area so it is clear what is popping out and what is the background. Without this separation and contrast, the UI is hard on the eyes.

  • I just buy and start to fiddle with SunVox....

    I realize just I will need another life. Again.

  • @SevenSystems

    erm...did I just see it automatically add tracks for each incoming midi device/channel ?

    No mention in Getting started that I can see, does it support hi-res CC or NRPN ?

    thanks

  • @MobileMusic thanks, yes the contrast between popups / dropdown selectors and the background is something that I could see needing some improvement. There's a drop shadow already, but in the dark skin it's not terribly effective.

    No NRPN support. There's no direct support for hi-res CC, but you could conceivably enter / record / draw the MSB and LSB CCs separately (eg. CC 10 and 42), although that's of course not very practical.

    Can these be put on the list for future consideration ? It is something missing from pretty much every iOS MIDI app, and most of my gear uses these :)

    i bought the app and all IAP. i really REALLY hope you drop 1.9 before monday coz i leave for a very VERY long trip then. would very much like to have multitrack incoming midi recording during that 30+ hr flight D=

    also. 1 thing that worries me about IAP. if for some reason you guys ceases to exist. and the app gets pulled from the store. does that mean that even if i backup the .ipa i lose access to all the extra features i paid for ?
    reason i ask this is i actually backup .ipa's for apps that have been removed which i use all the time like Diode 108 and midi link sync. I've even successfully installed it on Ios12.

    That's a very interesting question, and one I can't fully answer. All I can say is that once you installed Xequence on a device, as long as you don't uninstall it or corrupt its data, all IAPs will continue to work forever.

    Anyway, there's no guarantee that ANY app you get from the App Store is going to work forever, as you essentially don't own the apps, but just "rent" them from Apple. That's the same for all apps.

    Thanks for diving into the app and all its add-ons anyway, and just post any questions you might have.

    I did exactly the same. I’m up to my gills in sequencing apps, but I’ve read good things about this one, and I’ve noted from a distance how active and responsive the developer is. That means something to me, and is easily worth the price to reward and encourage further development. We’re all in this together.

    i do hope that if you guys do decide to close shop you just remove the iap and enable all the features for everyone. this way your loyal customers will have access to everything forever (or atleast till apple goes 128 or 256 bit)

    on the flipside i like what i see so i'll definitely support you guys as much as i can :)

    PolyHymnia is my favorite feature. It’s fantastic for breaking writer’s block. It would be great if I could generate parts for multiple tracks at the same time, so I could coordinate between melody and chords, etc. At the moment it’s a bit cumbersome to use this feature with multiple tracks.

    Note that each part (clip) remembers its PolyHymnia settings separately. i.e. if you want to edit a generated sequence later, you just have to open that part again and then open PolyHymnia. All settings will be as you left them, and if you didn't edit the generated notes, you can immediately start tweaking again and the existing notes will be updated.

    So you can have separate PH settings for each track, and go back to them and re-tweak back and forth.

    @jigglypuff not explicitly, but by carefully combining multiple operators with different timings, you can basically achieve any kind of evolving parameters.

    @everyone: Just a heads up, sale has ended. It just attracted too many one-star reviews.

  • Cant believe it
    Trying to purchase now
    Wont let me
    Then i red this
    Thats a shame

  • Was that a 50% price ?
