Landscape mode would definitely be an improvement.

I worry about complaining (just me this) about how 'if only this one thing' etc etc, but I HAVE to believe that this nice little thing would get a lot more use, further penetration into the market etc etc, if it were simply landscape as well as portrait. I really like it, but I always drift away...

I totally see the point. On triqtraq’s behalf, I’d say they did such a fantastic job with the ergonomics of the layout that a simple landscape port might not cut it.

One idea that stands out: as an AUv3 on iPad, triqtraq could use the iPhone portrai layout as is, effectively allowing us to run triqtraq as is in a landscape environment like AUM.

Yeah, it’s a step sequencer, so you’re pretty much on the grid. But the loop range feature is really interesting to mess around with.

Yes you can get some weird evolving polyrhythms going, by mucking about with the loop lengths.

You guys got me to try this one out.
Thanks!
It is really fun, fast, and easy to get a killer jam going with this.

The swing automation is also super fun.

TBH, I feel like the workflow and UI would lend itself really nicely to some OP-Z style micro timing tricks: where notes can be nudged before/on/after the quantization grid, and when playing to record a sequence, off grid timing can be preserved. Off grid timing could easily be displayed by using color variation and/or left and right gradients for early/late notes. (Heck it could even implement batch nudging - selecting multiple notes in the sequencer to nudge all at once).

I'm sure this might be a bigger challenge than I realize in terms of the backend/sequencer programming side of things. But the musical options would be so tasty - and worth paying more $ for in my book.

I think you're on to something. It seems to me this must be possible, because all my, uh TriqTraq tracks have really idiosyncratic timing.
This is version 1.91, so I have hopes for a TriqTraqTwo soon....

Don't know if these guys are on the boards, but pinging @zaplinmusic

Is it me or it hard quantizes everything we record onto the sequencer?

look under triqtraq in ios settings, there's an input quantisation option.
