    @SevenSystems Thank you for being so responsive! It sounds like there's a very good chance I'll be making the switch in the near future.

    That's good to hear! Keep posting any issues / questions.

    I held my finger down on the screen, above the top of the gradient, where it is closest to transparent.

    Yep, I know what you mean now. I've experimented with the drawing style for the clips a lot in the past, and this is what I've ultimately settled on... I might try around with a gradient-less version at some point again. However, in general, I'm not a huge fan of "totally flat" UIs, they've gone a bit too far in my opinion in the past years (which you could probably tell from Xequence's general look :) )

    Maybe I'll try producing in pitch darkness tonight, so I can give the current UI a fairer evaluation.

    I guess it definitely works better in darker environments, yeah. True to the "Dark Rooms With Bright Lights TM" dance stereotype ;) I made the "Light" theme to compensate for it, but I believe it could indeed use some more love / fine-tuning.

    Another feature I like from NS2: The scroll bars in the piano roll.

    That'll definitely have to be done at some point, yeah... if only to complete mouse support for the iPad (currently, you cannot zoom in or out in the editors using a mouse. So the scrollbars would then be "resizable" to accommodate for that).

    I also would like to have a "Max Vertical Zoom" and "Max Horizontal Zoom" setting if possible, but with a closer zoom than NS2.

    Can you explain what benefit that would give -- i.e., currently, you can just zoom in as far as you like... why limit it? (just curious)

    So cool, thanks so much @SevenSystems :)

    You're welcome! I wish my days had 48 hours (and I didn't have a Weiss Ring in my right eye now!) to be able to go down the roadmap faster :blush:

  • wimwim

    Whatever you do, please don't reduce the contrast between grid lines and background. It drives me bonkers when app designers make practically invisible grids.

  • SkyblazerSkyblazer

    @SevenSystems When navigating, you want to be able to zoom in and out, but when you're actually entering notes, it's nice for the cells to be the same height each time.

    You can just quickly spread your fingers, and you're zoomed in exactly as far as you want to be.

    You can develop a little bit of muscle memory for entering notes, because when you're entering "Do Re Mi", Re is always the same distance from Do.

    @AudioGus and @crony Thank you for answering my question. I guess I had never considered trying that before, as a compositional technique. But now I must try it. :)

    Cool! I also like to do it with audio based stuff which is why I wish Cubasis had a linear interpolation scheme for doubling and halving the speed without timestretching/pitchshifting smoothing goop being introduced. It can work really well for some material!

    @SevenSystems +1. Pretty happy with the overall dark theme. Helps me to focus.

  • wimwim

    Yep. I like the dark theme too. It suits me just fine. I personally like the gradients as well.

    Every once in awhile I try the light theme for a few seconds but always scramble back to the cave whimpering like Gollum. So yeh, something in-between might be nice just for variety. ;)

    OK, that makes sense. Interesting, thanks for the insight.

    Yes I agree -- I have a rough idea on how such a theme could look like. I must admit I keep subconsciously cranking the brightness up slightly when using Xequence, so maybe some general fine-tuning wouldn't hurt.

    In other news though -- if anyone sees issues with iOS 14 and Xequence, do let me know. Apart from an iOS nag dialog that asks for "permission to access the local network" when trying to use Audiobus or Ableton Link, everything seems fine to me.

    @SevenSystems I just tried recording MIDI into X2 in order to try the time stretching feature, and I think I accidentally created a feedback loop, by setting NS2 and X2 to output to each other with MIDI Thru on. It recorded a really cool glitchy version of my melody, and 30 seconds after I finished recording, X2 froze and crashed, but the melody was saved. :)

    :) I'm pretty surprised it ONLY took 30 seconds to crash:D yeah, maybe it would be technically possible to detect "MIDI feedback loops" even somehow... do other apps handle this scenario gracefully?

    @zah makes total sense regarding the root note. Good points.

    @SevenSystems Hi, I would love a “in-use” Scale option in the piano roll (like in Gadget2) that only shows notes that you’re currently using (this is great for smaller screens!)

    Thanks for reading, & all the best! 🎛🌈🎧🚀🎹🐉

    :) There's currently a way to achieve something roughly equivalent, which might be a good compromise for now: Select all notes, then from the "+ INSERT" menu, choose "Scale from Selection".

    Definitely doing a session with this at the weekend.

    @SevenSystems Apologies if you have an official way of requesting features rather than like this but one thing I've been looking for for some time now is the ability to clean up MIDI notes. I have reviewed many MIDI tools and could find nothing on iOS with this ability. The closest I have got is feeding MIDI into a live Notion recording as that has a duration filter and there are various velocity filters available via other apps.

    I have considered throwing something together myself in pythonista but that would take some time and it would be great if the option were there natively in my favourite MIDI editor :smile:

    My use case is where I have recorded using MIDI Guitar and want to remove the ghost notes and accidentals which usually appear as very low velocity and/or duration notes. The feature I had in mind would be "Select notes by..." and have the option of selecting notes by velocity or note duration below some threshold ready for review and removal. I think Logic has this function or similar.

    Thanks for creating such a great piece of software!

    That's a good request -- "Select by velocity" and "Select by length". I have a good concept in mind for that already and added it to the roadmap. (which has about 982349234723497 potential future features on it so I cannot give a good estimate on when it'll be available).

    Thanks for creating such a great piece of software!

    Thanks for the useful feedback!

    Not at this time. It does support Ableton Link though, including Start/Stop sync.

    Have had this app for a few months and couldn't wrap my head around it. Came back to it and it isn't that difficult at all. Just takes some understanding of AUM routing. Just sequenced my first track in it! Thanks for this awesome piece of soft! Keep up the work.

  • SevenSystemsSevenSystems

    @zah said:
    Just a follow-up. I just noticed that the Keynality app which I use from time to time, has an option to change the root note location from either the start (left) of the keyboard or the center of it. That's the first app that I've come across that has that option.

    Oh, that's an interesting find -- so I'm not totally crazy!

    Anyways, hopefully a root note location option could be put on your roadmap of 8billion+ things to do for Xequence 2. :)

    Yes, definitely a useful option and quite straightforward implementation-wise. Keep the feedback coming.

    Thanks. Will keep it up despite mountains in the way! ;) Any questions you might still have, drop them here.

  • [Deleted User][Deleted User]

    @SevenSystems, this app has just come to my attention, and I'm think it would be great for sequencing some actions in a live performance. I'm using AUM and GTL (Group the Loop) quite a lot, plus a bunch of synths and drum plug ins.

    I don't know if you know GTL, but i have a foot controller send CCs directly to GTL for a number of functions. GTL is hosted in AUM to receive audio from my guitar and some hosted synths etc. Do you think it would be possible for Xequence to send those commands to GTL from it's timeline? Then I'd be able to automate the process of triggering the recording and playback of the loops. It seems on the surface it should be possible but I might be missing something.. GTL doesn't expose any parameters to AUM, so it would have to pass them directly to GTL, while it was hosted in AUM.

    Secondly, can it control AUM parameters directly? Things like bypass/mute/volume etc on individual AUM channels ?

    I think I'll get it anyway for what I know it can do, but I would be super happy if these specific things were possible.

    I haven't used GTL personally, but yes of course, Xequence can sequence, record, edit, and send CCs :)

    If your foot controller can send CCs to GTL, then Xequence can as well (you're probably hosting GTL as IAA, so it'll be visible as a virtual MIDI destination to Xequence. If for any reason that doesn't work, Xequence can also provide a virtual source that you would then possibly be able to route to GTL from inside GTL's configuration menu etc.).

    Secondly, can it control AUM parameters directly? Things like bypass/mute/volume etc on individual AUM channels ?

    Yes, AUM has MIDI learn for almost all of its parameters, so you can just hit the corresponding "Learn" button in AUM and then move a controller in Xequence, which will from that point on control that parameter in AUM.

    I think I'll get it anyway for what I know it can do, but I would be super happy if these specific things were possible.

    Thanks -- let me know if any issues come up down the line.

    IMPORTANT NOTE: Xequence is NOT specifically designed for "Live" use, so it doesn't have some of the typical features of live "loopers", like "wait until next loop iteration before switching song position", etc... it is really meant for "relaxed offline" composition and recording.

  • [Deleted User][Deleted User]

    @SevenSystems ... thanks, some interesting experiments await!
    I'm looking forward to purchasing and having a play with Xequence soon :)
