just for information, the grid changes with the sequencer setting. For example (I haven't tried them all) diminished/octatonic, persian, tritone, augmented, chromatic, ...
@Phil999, yes, the colors show where the octaves are, so the grid looks differently for scales with different numbers of notes.
BTW, please don't forget that you can rate each new version of an app on the App Store
Good point there @YuriT, will do that right now.
Bought this last night, amazing app!
Has anyone had experience good or bad using this with external MIDI?
Only tried with iPhone 5s so far, will try with ipad2 later.
Using iConnect 2+, it receives MIDI clock from an external source no problem. I can't get anything to receive MIDI out from the app though.
Also tried straight USB from the phone to Waldorf Blofeld, and MIDI is received but it is not sounding correctly.
Could well be hardware issues, not the app itself, just wondered if other users have had similar problems.
Just read the thread there sould be some examples as far as I can remember.
Thanks, but all I see is people talking about virtual MIDI...
Ok, sorry, my bad. I just noticed you were asking about 'external' midi.
I was using Duet 2 and iU2 interfaces with Xynthesizr, both transmitted MIDI to external softsynths and hardware synths perfectly well.
Please tell me the planned ipad version is not a separate purchase. I bought this app expecting an ipad update as stated,

@YuriT I bought this app when I read this. Please take care.
Dev said on page 3 :
" still thinking about this. Free upgrade is technically impossible. The only kind of valid idea I have so far is to set a low introductory price for a week or two. Do you know any examples of how other developers handle this kind of situation?"
-sorry, double post-
If you try the iphone version of this app and you find it suits your needs the least you can do is hope that the developer makes some money off it so he can continue supporting you in the future with bug fixes etc. which @YuriT has been brilliant at. I'm not saying this because I'm affiliated with him or expect a free promo code but because I know it takes absolute ages to code and many of these guys are working at way below minimum wage. Please appreciate their effort.
@supadom I agree completely.
Zymos, I had seen that post, followed by a couple of beta testers suggesting otherwise. That post was way after the one I quoted (and after purchase). If you read my post on that page about the intro price....you will better understand.
@supadom, I do appreciate his effort (greatly), as well as some other developers. I consider their asking price, weight it against the competition in its category and make a decision. I decided for the price and with future plans for ipad upgrade in the "next update", it was worth the money.
@YuriT, what are your plans? I am willing to suck up a low intro price as you had stated, I'll suck it up as you changed your mind (which happens) or took the advise from those who are not paying customers (which I am). I can appreciate your efforts and actually use the app. Thanks and take care.
Btw, if you are not Yuri or do not mind paying again, please don't listen to me.
Take care fellas.
@WMWM, I understand your position. I'm sorry about this. It's my bad, I shouldn't have said anything about the update before thinking deeply about it. A lesson for me to learn.
I didn't mean to rip off or annoy anybody. I'm currently reconsidering my choice about universal app vs separate iPhone and iPad apps. If I have to go with a separate app, you can definitely expect me to send you a promo code for free download.
(If only I could reach all users having this problem.)
Still, one more quote from the first page. It doesn't justify me, but, well, it's there.
@YuriT said:
I also feel I should say a couple of words about the whole separate iPad version thing. This is not to make everyone pay twice. There are a couple of reasons that I had in my head.
It's likely that the iPad version will have some features that the iPhone version won't. Simply because it can easily become pointless to cram things in and overcomplicate the small screen UI. Although you can technically have different sets of features for iPhone and iPad in a universal app, you automatically happen to charge the same amount for these, which in this case is not fair to iPhone-only users.
Even in the case of iPhone and iPad versions having more or less the same set of features, I think it would allow for significantly faster update schedule, because it's much easier to code, and then I could add features to the iPad version first (as most musician use iPads anyway) without needing to update the iPhone version at the same time.
All that being said, I acknowledge my fault and am thinking of a good solution.
@Zymos, have you tried to send clock from Xynthesizr? Does this work? I'm asking to figure out if it's related to MIDI channel settings (clock events are channel-independent as opposed to note events).
Also, could you please explain what you mean by "not sounding correctly"?
Also, not to complain or anything, but since there are some talks about devs and the money they make, I can tell from my perspective that all my earnings with Xynthesizr so far have been enough to, well, buy food for two months, not more than that. Again, just a plain fact.
Animoog ipad/Animoog iphone = paid separately
Magellan/Magellan jr = paid separately
Dm1 ipad/Dm1 iphone = paid separately
The same goes for countless others: impc, sunrizer, impaktor....the list goes on.
In fact I don't know if there is an app that gives you both for the price of one unless it is universal. It makes sense and I hope @YuriT brings up a separate ipad version so some up us could try running both of them in parallel on the ipad in sweet harmony.
I didn't read all of the to's and through's of this thread because the bottom line is:
'And in the end, the love you take...is equal to the love....you make...aaaaahhhhh'
@supadom, as far as I understand, @WMWM's point is not about paying for separate apps per se, but about paying for an unneeded version of the app.
Agree with all your points above @supadom.
After my initial annoyance re paying again, I reconsidered and I have no real issue with a dedicated iPad version. Obviously @YuriT has to put in a lot of extra thought and work into this and deserves to reap any reward he can. I definitely don't give product away in my business:-)
Look forward to it's release Yuri. Cheers
This particular case is ok, because it can easily be resolved. The bad thing is that I don't know how many users with the same problem are there. I've already got one email (which is ok too) and an anonymous blog comment (which is not as ok, because I'm not able to communicate with that user directly). And who knows how many users are silent about this.
@supadom Impaktor is universal I think

Hey Yuri-
Got my MIDI problems sorted out. User error with port remapping on the iConnect 2+.
"Not sounding correctly" on the Blofeld had to do with me misunderstanding the Channel Mapping on the app- I was only sending the lowest octave, whoops....
I bought the app specifically for (my new) iPhone. I'd happily pay for an iPad version if it had more features. I can see being miffed about ending up paying for two versions when you only want one.
But c'mon- three bucks....
@Zymos, great!
BTW, was that you who also sent me an email about this issue?
HA! Busted!
IMO a separate version has to be well justified. There's a lot of brilliant feature packed apps that are universal.
...yes, and I think making extra dosh to cover gas and electricity could justify it on its own. I don't won't our developers code in the cold or only during the day because they can't afford to keep the lights on. I know I'm bonkers, but seriously. You get quite a lot bang for the buck with Xynth reasonably spec'd synth, sequencer, effects, has spot on midi clock sync (still a rarity these days), can sequence midi and fire on 22 independent channels. Give it a brushed dark steel UI with some fancy led's polychord style and folks will pay 3 times over with a smile on their faces. And yes, of course I almost forgot the scales! Man this app looks like Beatwave but it really is something different. There's several apps that I've paid £10 uk and they're not even on my ipad, then there's this where you use it and think WTF how much thought must have gone onto this? Anyway, I'm getting tearful. Good night!
@YuriT, I am humbled. Your understanding says lot. I happened to come across some comments made under an "anonymous" pseudonym that I felt were cowardly. I want you to know, my statements here are the only ones I have made regarding your work as I am not afraid to put my name on them or afraid to go against the grain. You don't owe me anything nor I to you , except maybe, thank you(s). What we owe is to both of our creator whom we will have to answer to. Thank you and Take care.
