On Topic: A thread for venting frustrations over these MiDi Recording/Player Apps in the iOS world.
Really, why can we get a decent Auv3 MiDi recorder/player with midi import/export?
1) BeatHawk 2 with it’s16 bar limit and fidgety editor.. wonderful export features though.
2) ATOM.. why can’t we just get MiDi import/export and channel selector.. Doubt one needs to rewrite the whole code for that...
3) PHOTON.. just a little GUI work needed and the MiDi ‘drift’ issue fixed..
4) Xequence Auv3 sure would be the fix..

How are you gonna have Xequence as an audio unit? It would be so difficult to navigate.
Anyway, have you seen DigiKeys? Because it sounds like you would like it.
1) Cubasis 2/3.. no tempo or time signature changes, that’s really frustrating for me since it literally does everything else I need.
2) Korg iOdyysey, iM1, iWavestation, iPoly 6.. no AUV3, they are the best sounding and most used synths for me, I get around it using IAA in an audio channel and routing another midi channel to control it .. but no state saving and the pain setting them up sometimes kills my enthusiasm.
I think the most appropriate way to use it as AUv3 would be to only allow a single instance (because for the most part, Xequence has been designed to bring together a whole composition in a SINGLE location!), and just always maximize its window.
I don't see why when full-screen AU is possible. Besides, it is navigable on even a small iPhone (and was originally designed on one).
Yeah sorry I meant I think in its current design, it’s best as a stand-alone app. I like it how it is when I use it.
Yeah... a potential AUv3 version would be mostly identical to the standalone, but would have the advantage of state saving with the host project, maybe easier MIDI routing, and a few other things, so it's definitely being considered 🙂
I know. There’s musk midi player which is AB3 compatible. I don’t have it and haven’t heard anything about it. I wonder about it’s performance in AUM. It does say core midi. Only $1.99.

@SevenSystems consider away... lol
I just noticed Musk Midi Player is IAA as well... anyone wanna take the plunge and let us know?
X2 AU could just be 1 track per AUv3 instance. A midi piano roll with midi import export, as well as recording.
This is excellent news!
DigiKeys was a step in the right direction but Xequence AUv3 would be spiffing
That's great.
Don't think anything will change for you...
Just bummed that just about every single app lacks a feature or two that are already implemented in another one...
Same applies to desktop as well...
There are no 100% perfect apps and there never will be or there would be no need to develop anything 'new'.
Most features are already invented so it's just a matter of making everything into standardized pieces that can be put together one-by-one like a 'Lego DAW'
Yeah, still hoping that the next Sunvox update isn’t too far off for midi out. Also Photon, yes it’s nearly so useful, just needs a bit more.....
@tja yeah I used to ask that exact question to my customers (much to their continued annoyance, just search the forum 😉). I'm slowly getting it though. It's purely a convenience thing -- there's no technical advantages as far as I can see, maybe apart from better / easier MIDI routing in a few edge cases.
Restoring a complete multi-app project with complex MIDI routing with just a single "Open" action, thanks to state-saving; instead of opening different projects in multiple apps, making sure all MIDI routings are still correct, etc.
Midi loopers would be useful as AU f.e.
There are even modular synth modules (like Reaktor Toybox f.e.) which are like a DAW sequencer but focus only on the midi part and so would be useful also as AUv3.
Kind of having a little DAW sequencer per instance within your DAW. Makes that sense? I do not know. But i like the idea.
And yes, often a loaded "performance" would look like several instruments, with different FX and mid FX channels.
Proper state saving is maybe the most important part if such and multi-app performance patch.
So AUv3 might be the only way to do this on iOS.
Ok.. Paint this scenario.. you have a number of midi bass line files in different key/scales.. and a project at Am.. you can audition these files transposed to the project’s key/scale and choose what fits easily.. It’s tedious with Xequence in IAA now.. And this inhibits one’s creative flow..
You may not have the ‘vibe’ to create new bass lines, but just auditioning what you have archived... Somewhat of a Blocs Wave approach.. but with Midi (more powerful) and that just one of the advantages of Auv3..
Check this photo with ATOM/Scaler.... and in little time one can come up with some interesting stuff..
With Xequence, I guess you won’t need scaler (I think it’s built in) and you can export (midi) to desktop if you chose..
New..
This!
Single track/loop midi version of Loopy as an AU with full AU param exposed in AUM.
Build it and they will come.
Or a version of infinite looper as an au and that doesn’t crash and flake out every 2 seconds...
