Piano roll app for suggester
For my iPad I’m looking for a great app that isn’t too heavy, that has a piano roll .
I want to import chord progressions made in suggester but add some life to the movement. Then send it out to an external midi synth. I was looking at beatmaker, but there doesn’t seem to be a great piano roll. I’m open to anything. I just want to play smooth string chords and stabs. Thanks!

Are you using a host like AUM, Cubasis, Drambo, or Loopy Pro?
Or are you running Suggester in stand-alone?
I’ve fallen in love with dRambo’s piano roll. ❤️(Speaking as a former Atom 2-aholic)
Xequence 2. It's rock solid and has arguably the best piano roll on iOS, and nothing extra that you don't need if all you're doing is sending MIDI out to a MIDI synth.
Suggester stand alone
Thanks.. But how do you do Scale/Key Transpose in Xequence, as Atom2 does? Xequence as Auv3 would be nice…
None of these look like a piano roll, like the one in garage band. I don’t get why they have stifled that app. It looks great but no midi output and sample rate capped at 44.1 . I don’t get it
Atom 2 looks pretty good, I’ll keep looking but that is bookmarked thanks!
Here's another way - drag and drop chords from Suggester into Tonality chords pads. Maybe edit the chords in Tonality to let them play over a few octaves. Then use the Strummer function in Tonality to bring these to life a bit and record that output into something like Atom2 or the other options mentioned above. Oh, Tonality chord pads has a sustain function too. 🔥
A creative option would be to use step polyarp .. works like a charm with a bit a of music theory manipulation
My favorite workflow with this is drag and dropping the suggester chords into MultiTrackStudio (MTS) and editing there. If u use a QWERTY, MTS has the best piano roll on iOS IMO, with qwerty shortcuts, mouse/trackpad support etc.
For going strictly touch based, Xequence 2 is gorgeous. The new split screen possibilities are great. Also, Atom 2 is one u can take everywhere since its Au midi fx but it's a lil tedious with drag n dropping from suggester since it makes each dropped item into a different pattern vs letting it all be on the same roll, (prior to you merging them)
Drambo doesn't have midi import or export at this time. Adding that isn't high on the priorities list from what I've read.
Yea I love tonality.
Xequence 2 although not Au, is IAA, and just added split screen view in an update. Loads in AUM as IAA.
Otherwise most iOS daw’s, or an Au piano roll like Atom 2, Helium, LK with matrix unlock, inside a host, like AUM, Apematrix, Audiobus 3, etc…
But it can record MIDI just fine, from pretty much anywhere.
Here’s one way: Load Suggester as an Audio Unit MIDI Processor, and you’ll have a REC button to record all of your Suggester chord progressions into Drambo’s piano roll easily.
Damn , lots of options MultiTrackStudio looks good so far. Thanks everyone 🙏
Is there a way to make multitrackstudio a slave in midi? On an iPad? Or is midi not happening on these apps? Just curious. I could just sample phrases and trigger them from Assimil8or.
Thanks
