Really? I have to really sit down and check this out with more care. To me it looked like it always (with Xequence) started from the beginning, but I have to craft some patterns to explicitly see and hear what's going on.
It depends on the model I think. The Volca FM does support SPP, but the Sample doesn't.
"Open In" functionality will be awesome!! In fact, it would be the preferred way!! I look forward to it!! Thanks!!
Agreed. But since they haven’t, we need both.
Agreed. Testing as many apps as possible is probably the very best way, when the spec fails. I can think of several apps that just won't work, no matter how hard the developer tries (example: DM1 by Fingerlab). It seems that LINK was the only redeeming way to get DM1 working. That's why it's such a benefit--where one fails, the other seems to work. They are both essential.
This sounds like a very good compromise. I would much rather have everything start at the very beginning every time than to have apps not start at all. This would cover both contingencies.
I don't know if I would say most apps have moved on, but it seems that Ableton LINK must be easier to implement, and so developers seem to use it more. The quality apps (example: Moog Model 15, etc) tend to be more complete and do both. It would be preferable to have both get equal development attention, since they are both equally important.
I agree completely! Audio Track sync is essential. I'm so glad that you see the importance of supporting both!!
The key thing to remember with Ableton LINK, is that if you implement it with Audiobus, the Audiobus developers have included a way to start all of the devices at the same time through a global start button within Audiobus. This allows Audiobus/LINK apps to act like they have MIDI start capability, which is nice when those apps don't support the midi we would like to have. A quality sequencer, like yours, should cover both contingencies.
Agreed completely!! I still hope Ableton does a update to the spec and SDK to include those things.
One of the great threads.
If only for my pink Barbie doll metaphor!
I have tried xequence on my iphone 6s now, before I only tried on ipad. I must say I am surprise how well it works. I have not read any documentation because I haven't needed that to understand the app and it's not me beeing smart it's just a great gui. It has the best midi editor on ios.
I agree. I come from the days when my old Tasman 688 would sync rock solidly with my Korg i30 using song positions pointer, love that. I hope we can keep both systems.

I started in ca. 1997 with my first "real" synth, a Yamaha SY-85 (still have it), controlled with (fasten seat belts) Impulse Tracker in DOS! Yes, a tracker in 1997 that had MIDI Out...
I'm still evaluating where to fit that "Metronome sound: Tick | Tone | Fart" toggle on the iPhone...
Your laughing now, but as your marketing manager I'm telling you to add that as an IAP. Only 99 cents, but would make people feel so special/elect....
So, at the gym on cardio equipment.
Right off- it is a sequencer app.
Yet my failure to understand this has only been able to get to a piano roll one time by luck.
How does a person just get to the piano roll to input notes?
What button do I press?
I end up everything but that.
Thank you
Draw a pattern onto the time line. Double-tap it.
You can either draw a part (@wim called it pattern, some call it clip
) by tapping the Draw button in the bottom left corner and then drawing it into the timeline, then deactivating Draw, and then double-tapping the part to edit it in the Pianoroll. Or you can just hit the "Record" button at the top right, which will automatically create a part.
Thanks
Will try again and see
@SevenSystems - small feature request: It would be great if loop settings were preserved with the project. The closer opening a project can be to where you last left off working the better.

Guys stupid question
How do I get the keyboard to play another midi track? I have two tracks different instruments in AUM different midi channels still no go only first one plays.
Are the channels set up properly in AUM?
If that doesn’t help, more details of your setup will be needed.
I find myself jumping on every time there's a new post. It's like a soap opera for nerds.
Simple, I have AUM hosting Minisynth and isymphonic. Each on their own midi channel 1&2 and both setup as you said. But I’m Xequence I can hear isymphonic even though I’ve set it to send to AUM channel 2. Weird thing is that mini synth does show up as an option in Xequence but isymphonic doesn’t. It only says AUM.
Forget what shows up or not. Send everything to AUM.
I’m pretty sure what is happening is you’ve got both your channels in AUM listening to all channels. You need to go into the midi settings for the channel in AUM and turn off all midi channels by hitting the “None” button. Then enable just the channel you want.
If that doesn’t work then you need to send some screen shots.
Could also have to do with MiniSynth and iSymphonic’s midi capabilities. I don’t have either so I can’t say.
Haha, damn someone noticed!
There was some annoying implementation detail that made me not have it restore on load, but I see how it can be useful. Noted.
@MusicMan4Christ: If you load something into AUM as IAA (not Audio Unit), it will also present its virtual MIDI ports to Xequence so they will get listed there. However, if you use AUM as your host for all synths, then you should keep it all tidy and only send MIDI into AUM, and then route it to the correct plugins inside AUM. Never send to the synths directly from Xequence if they're hosted in AUM. Recipe for chaos!
Still loving this app but I'm curious. Why output metronome to a synth instead of having an in app metronome sound? Seems cool but also a possible waste of cpu. I have to launch an extra synth to keep everything in time. Any chance you'll implement a different metronome option?
Good chance, yes. Implementing a MIDI metronome was simpler for us, and offers the user more flexibility, as they can use an existing synth app to produce whatever sound they want, at whatever volume, and to whatever output (if they have multiple audio outputs) they desire. Also, chances are that if you're already running a larger audio setup for a project, there will be some multi-timbral synth running anyway that you can just add a metronome sound to. For example, if I do my "hobby music production", I always have Gadget running anyway, so in every Gadget project (and in my template project), there's a metronome on CH 16 anyway. So... it's not that big of a hassle if you have a "standard workflow" for producing music on iOS. But I'm a very organized and "standardized" guy
