Midi Sequencer
This looks interesting, anyone try it out yet? Looks like a Mega-Little Midi Machine. No AB but it doesn't make any sound anyway.

Looks intriguing
Had a quick play, seems to offer quite a few options and works over virtual MIDI. Will dig deeper.
This does look interesting. And I like that them tempo can be multiplied up to 1020 bpm!
Ehmmm...any song you know at 1020 bpm? Lol.
Let's check it out some video demos before.
The only song I'm aware of lasts 2.3 seconds.
Ooh, it's got some very cool features. I like this one.
Laurie Spiegel likes BPM's over 600. Says it makes nice "feathery" sounds. Certainly makes for a different experience. I haven't had a sequencer capable of it before - maybe I'll try this one. Thx.

1000 enough?
Ok. So I can die knowing I have seen (heard) everything...
Sorry, but I can't live whitout that. But thank you.
I shouldn't have tried dancing to that!
Haha @funjunkie27 break your hip? Lol jk : )
Broke my house and my body! ;-)
.
Does look interesting. I like that it shows the note numbers! Would be cool/handy/interesting if the randomize feature could be scale/key constrained.
@Trueyorky (or any kind soul that bought it) Can it really only store 20 patterns? Or is that 20 patterns per song? What do the arrow buttons on either side of the Play button do? Next/Previous pattern? How well does it clock to other apps?
Too ugly for my iPad Air ;-) Oh Lord, please give some app developers more design skills. Or at least the money to pay an design professional.
@Trueyorky or@synthandson - have any more info on it, how it works, do you like it?
Sorry, been busy today will play later!
WOW this sequencer goes deep. It seems very logical and extremely well thought out. The 20 save slots are snapshots and can be sequence data or can include all controls, MIDI cc data etc., It can run as master or slave and offers things like jump to x step next, skip a step, mute a step, play note length or step length, play forward, reverse, bounce, random and on and on - some features are available in other apps and some seem quite unique. A very nice MIDI sequencer indeed :-)
WRT the tempo going that high... it's not that you would want the entire song to be 1020 BPM... but that being a multiple of 127.5 (255, or 510)... you could do some extremely interesting effects on a single track/part inside a song at 127.5 bpm.
Do not underestimate the power of this feature. Think outside the box here peeps.
This is an incredibly naive question, but here goes.....
Does this thing play the notes in little single steps, or can it play an extended note? I believe some sequencers call it gate time or something. I'm used to piano rolls and being able to draw out a pad synth part over an entire measure or two....
Also, does this sequence just a bar or measure at a time, or can you chain parts to create a whole song in it?
Is it possible to easily do chords in it?
How does it compare to Thesys as far as power and ease of use?
Sorry, that's a lot of questions, but it looks a lot like Little Midi Machine, and everyone is talking about how deep it is, and I'm trying to see the benefits. I'm not being sarcastic, I'm seriously wanting to understand... Thanks! :-)
+1 to @audiojunkie's questions. I'm primarily using Genome for sequencing and would love to know how it compares.
@Audiojunkie said:
This is the mother of all questions.
I would say it's more like Little Midi Machine on acid. It's not a Genome and Genome isn't a Thesys but I own all of these apps and I look forward to digging deeper into this new addition.
@audiojunkie I don't own the app, but I can tell a few things from the pics/description.
With the gate length function set to 100%, it should play a legato note (extended not). I can't guarantee this, but that's technically what a 100% gate length should do. Hopefully someone else with the app can give a real answer to this.
It does sequence only one bar at a time (though that kind of depends on how you set the tempo of the sequencer compared to the actual tempo of the song (half the tempo on the sequencer would effectively give you 2-bars at song tempo). Also, 20 different scenes or snapshots can be saved, so you could have about 20 measures available to switch between in real-time.
It will only play one note at a time. It's like an analog monophonic sequencer.
Thesys - power? not as powerful as Thesys. Ease of use? easier to use than Thesys.
Thanks! That pretty much confirms what I suspected. :-)
nice looking sequencer, especially the snapshot/save feature. I just want to say that littlemidi is a very good sequencer, with 4 subsequences that can be combined and with two 'channels' (1 and 2). I think it has no option for gate time. But still very useful, especially when playing live. I prefer sliders, knobs don't show the current state well. I have a Doepfer 16/3 (old hardware sequencer), I always have to take a close look at the knobs to know the current state.
Anyway, good to have multiple options. Personally I'm continuing to use littlemidi (and Thesys).
I just purchased this as well as the R960 sequencer. My two minute take on each is that they are both really fun and I don't know which one I'll like more. Midi Sequencer is a beast compared to R960 or Little Midi Machine. The buttons toggle though more options than I can keep track of (skip, reverse, probably autocorrect...) and there's six pages of note length, velocity, and you can map to different note to different channels. I've got Animoog and Galileo humming as I type this. Also has a randomizer and it goes to I think 403,360 bpm. Little Midi on acid is right...
And then there's the R960 which has just one page, while the settings section has just one item (there is a separate midi page). It's all laid out in front in of you which I really like. I also like how the note length is in quarters, eighths.. etc rather than percentage value. Also does velocity and skip/loop functions. 32 sequences compared to twenty and you can toggle between them without going into the save screen (unlike MS). It is however just 8 steps compared to MS's 16. There's also quite a bit of included sounds that I haven't explored. And it's got AB with a 350 bpm max.
I would recommend either based in their prices but if you wanted just one Midi Sequencer looks pretty fully featured and hard to match.
I'm ready for a shoot out! Including Magellan.
Laurie Spiegal is a hero!
I wish more devs would enable midi learn for start/stop/skip buttons. That single feature would make enough of a difference from LittleMidi for me to consider it.
