MidiSequencer v1.8 update now available - AB2 & Midi Learn
MidiSequencer v1.8 update now available!
This adds two main features to MidiSequencer:
1) Midi Learn - you can now automate the tempo, transpose, loop type, invert (+key) and for every step, values for Note, Velocity, Gate% and Channel.
The learn is available either as a manual setup (just click and drag to set the number) or by enabling midi in and recording the CC,
As there are so many steps (1..16), a button exists to set just step 1 and assign incremental values to steps 2..16.
2) Audiobus 2.1.3 SDK - which brings in state saving (known as presets).
Previous versions of MidiSequencer, used AB 1, so this brings MidiSequencer up to date with all AB fixes, but be aware that there are issues with AB/apps at the moment.
With Presets, MidiSequencer will store the Bank filename and the snapshot number loaded at the time saved). So loading the preset (in AB) will (if MS is launched - i.e. in the sequence screen) load the bank and the snapshot into the sequencer. I've added an auto-launch setting to make this easier, but AB does not launch apps automatically when loading a preset - you have to launch each one!
Over the next few days I will be checking MS with AB (now it's live).

You're the best, man! This app is rocking my world. Been using it to sequence four hardware synths using the different channel per step function. Thanks for all the hard work you've put in and making this one of the best sequencers everrr!
^ emphatically seconded!
Great update! I actually finally got a chance to enjoy the 1.7 update the other day - touch previewing makes a BIG improvement to workflow use!
Tony absolutely raises the bar with this app - any time I come across an app that is missing features left and right, and offering up excuses for why they aren't there or can't be added, I think about midiSequencer. Started off as a pretty basic recreation of an analog step sequencer...then added scales, then added chords/additional notes per step, then added touch preview, and probably a dozen improvements I'm not even remembering right now.
The companion (piano roll) MIDI app to this one is my most anticipated app by far. Either it will own all other MIDI apps upon release, or if not, you can be confident the developer will continue to work at it.
thanks chaps - glad to see someone other than me use it!
midi fx will be the next addition to midiSequencer, after all what sequencer is any good without a bit of digital delay! - and also available as a separate app in a couple of weeks.
I haven't forgotten the piano-roll sequencer, as autumn means more time for me to spend on completing it.
Will piano roll sequencer be a single or multi Chanel?
Midi FX sound great. Keep up the good work.
@midiSequencer - Does "piano roll sequencer" have a name yet? I keep clumsily referring to it using phrases to make it clear I'm not talking about the MIDI sequencer you already have on the market. Haha. Again, no pressure, quality apps are worth the wait.
^ Tony Roll! Saunder Seq! Rollo (great for spanish speakers)
I'm sorry for a stupid question, but, how can we help to draw new GUI? please
Nice! Thank you Tony.
Yeah. Thank you! I use it with loopy a lot. Works great
The piano roll will be multi-channel(up to 98 + 1 tempo), so think of the Gadget grid and then think of adding real-time recording (notes+CC's) and saving files as standard midi files (so you can load on your PC/MAC daw).
A midi file can have up to 98 tracks (track 99 is tempo), so you will be able to record into any track and edit it in a grid.
Midi files have meta events (e.g. tempo changes), you will be able to edit these.
Controller information - you can also draw, or record (so options to simplify/reduce).
Excellent stuff Tony. Many thanks for a great product.
This app (called iMidi at the moment) fulfils a number of requirements:
1) Piano-roll editing that most people feel more comfortable with - with full drag n drop, selections you can move around, copy/paste etc.
2) Fully featured midi at the core design - so midi clock, smpte, MTS timing.
3) Ability to direct tracks out to midi endpoints (so each track could play a different synth).
4) Not closed like many big name apps - you can use the midi file anywhere.
5) Ability to capture & share midi in a similar way to audio capture in an app like Audioshare - inside (or outside) of Audiobus.
6) High ppqn midi capture with an ability to reduce. Large files. This emulates the trusty old hardware sequencer (like yamaha RM1X, Akai MPC's).
I will be delivering this in stages - 2, 3, 4, some of 5, 6 first, then 1) next - although I've done about 80% of the editor.
I'm looking forward to that business.
7) any of the 98 tracks can be edited through MIDI Step Sequencer's UI.
@syrupcore - might be the otherway around - when I add song/patterns to midiSequencer, I will add an option to edit a pattern either with 16 sliders or a piano-roll grid.
I see iMidi (tracks, piano-roll, midi files) and midiSequencer (sliders, detailed step logic, chords) growing towards a common middle ground.
Midi sequencer can play one synth at each step, right?
Will you add an ability to play several synths at once?
@shay - it can play multiple synths now (i.e. coreMidi endpoints) with each step and you can define the midi channel per step.
It is mainly monophonic (one set of pitch sliders), but chords add the ability to play up to 128 notes per step. Step ornaments allow you to split up the step too (e.g. ratcheting or appoggiatura say).
In development is a rack version which will allow you to run many complete copies of midiSequencer from a master controller (tempo, transpose etc). It works now, but I need to finish the interface and stop adding functions to the sequencer (e.g. midi fx).
If you wanted different melodies on different synths per step, there are ways to achieve this (before the rack version is available) 1) you could have steps alternate on channels and double the speed for example, but the rack will make this more like a traditional hardware sequencer (e.g. doepfer maq 16/3 which had 3 rows of 16 steps).
Thank you very much @midiSequencer. Will the "Rack Version" be a new app or a version of the existing app?

Great. Thanks.
Just bought the midiSequencer App
Edit: +IAP
Good work Mister Tony. What do you consider (if you do) the best video(s) out there to walk numskulls (self) through this fine effort?
@Shay - thanks
@JonnyGoodyear - I keep saying I will do videos, and I will soon, next week in fact, as I have some time to sit down and show off what midiSequencer can do.
@midiSequencer I look forward to your efforts. I really do. But please keep a plank of wood next to you when you're recording and remember that some of us are just about as smart.
@Johnny - maybe me trying to get everything on one page has made it too confusing, but with performance in mind, I wanted everything one or at most 2 taps away.
I will certainly do the vids which should help explain - the manual should do this of course, but people prefer videos it seems.
Especially those of us who don't read so well. Seriously though, your effort will not be wasted...
videos it is.....
