Another superb 4pockets app
can’t rave enough about Paul he’s one of the hardest working devs on the App Store hands down. lovely app so far really digging it thx!

Description
MidiStep is a powerful and inspirational polyphonic step sequencer, and a dream for lovers of complex rhythms and generative music creation tools. The program uses sophisticated, user-controlled randomization to generate notes with a variety of parameters, including note values, note length, chords, patterns, velocity, gate, dividers, repeats, swing, and many more.
You have complete control over what, when, and how much is randomized on a step-by-step basis. You can easily create patterns that have little to no variation, patterns that maintain a recognizable pattern but have some degree of variations to the notes, velocity, etc., all the way to patterns with extreme randomness with every pass – the degree of randomization is completely under your control for every parameter and for every step of a pattern.
Features include per-step polyphonic chord playback, variable step sequence lengths for all parameters such as pitch, octave, velocity, note duration, beat divisions etc, and the capability to create multiple patterns which can be linked together in various ways.
MidiStep also features 8 additional modulation lanes with independent play speeds. These can be used to automate parameters within your favourite synths.
MidiStep uses sophisticated randomization settings for note values, note lengths, velocity, gate, dividers, repeats, swing, and modulation. In addition, by setting different cycle lengths, step skips, step repeats, jumps, rewinds, cursor positions, pattern jumps, octave shifts, and many other parameters, you can create an infinite number of non-repeating sequences. The degree and types of randomizations for each of these parameters is up to you!
Aleatoric music, also known as chance music, allows you to create patterns and entire compositions with user-controlled randomisation. The word 'aleatory' is derived from the Latin word 'alea' meaning dice. MidiStep allows you to turn on/off randomisation on a stepwise basis for almost all parameters, set the percent probability that the randomisation will occur, set min/max values, set exactly which parameters will be randomized, etc. The exact realization of the music will vary with each pass of the sequence, resulting in unique and captivating aleatoric renditions. All randomization controls can be modified in real-time.
Features include:
•Each of the 16 sequences can have unlimited types and degrees of randomness that you control.
•8 independent sequencer lanes: Notes, Chords, Octaves, Velocity, Gate, Divider, Repeat, Delay.
•8 independent Modulation sequencer lanes.
•16 Patterns and 4 types of pattern switching, independent for each pattern.
•Up to 16 steps per pattern, 16 patterns, and 16 cycles per pattern for a maximum sequence length of 4096 notes.
•Independent sequencer length (1–16 steps) for each of the 16 lanes.
•A Master step cursor independent of all other lanes.
•Independent randomization parameters for each of the 16 lanes, with settings for probability, min/max values, default values, skips, repeats, etc.
•Unlimited variety of sequences, from slight variation to wildly different sequences on every pass.
•126 scales and 126 chords – in every key, along with a scale and chord editor for you to create your own.
•Chord complexity for 2–8 note chords, with notes specified or randomly generated.
•Chord Articulation options – Block chords, Strum up/down, Arp up/down – with accent, length, speed, and random note order parameters.
•Master lane and Chord lane previews.
•Auto-scroll chord lane.
•7-octave range for notes and chords (from C1–C8), with static and random octave offsets.
•11 note lengths – from 1/32 note to 4 full measures, plus ties across notes, rests, repeated notes, and delays.
•Two types of Swing with adjustable offset.
•Humanize settings for note velocity and note timing
•Transposition of sequences using a keyboard – mono for single notes, and poly for chords.
What's New in Version 1.04
Fixed the MIDI file length issue dragging and dropping MIDI Clips to Loopy Pro.
The exported AU Swing and Randomization options have now being renamed to Delay.
You can now set an instance name/description in the Settings menu.
When dragging and dropping to a destination now uses the instance name for the exported MIDI clip.
Added the ability to perform a global randomize from an exposed AU parameter.
Added a chevron to the UNDO button.
Fixed an issue sending chords directly to a MIDI port.
Changed the range of the Chord Complexity knob in the Global Randomize dialog to 1-8.
Added a Pattern Key Change option. Swipe down on the Root Key button to specify a per pattern key change. If this is not set it reverts to the global Root Key setting. The semitone offset is shown along side the root key in on the Root Key button. This does not effect the scale or notes on display, but transposes all output notes by a fixed number of semitones.
Added a real-time 'MIDI Performance Record' option. Swipe down on Clipboard Button to enable real-time performance recording. If the host is running recording will begin on the first Note On or CC Message, otherwise MidiStep will enter an armed state and the clipboard button will flash and have a RED border.
Once recording starts the button will stop flashing but the border will remain RED to signify recording in progress. To stop recording either stop the host transport, press the Clipboard button or add a STOP as the Next Pattern. When MidiStep encounters a STOP it will stop recording. If any notes are recorded the clipboard button border changes to GREEN to signify a performance is stored in the clipboard. You can drag and drop this recording to any compatible destination.
Added a Chord Articulation knob to the Global Randomization dialog. I also no longer randomize chords at the same position as a TIE.
Added an Open Windows submenu on the main menu, and moved Preset Manager to this menu. This also allows you to submit an app review.
You can now draw ramps with the note and param faders by tapping two faders whilst pressing the LEFT CONTROL.
You can move all faders maintaining relative values by pressing LEFT OPTION and dragging a fader.
Added a popup for UNDO and REDO.
Added a new experimental COIN FLIP option to the notes lane. Setting COIN FLIP allows you to choose whether a column is OFF, TIE, or RND depending on options. Once a column is set to FLIP, swipe down on the button for per step Coin Flip Options.
Added a MIDI Thru port. Incoming MIDI data is echoed on the MIDI Thru port so that you can drive other instruments using the same input.
Updated the user manual.
Added a link to MasterClass #4.

Welll, now, 1. Go to ,yutube, 2. Then run the app
It’s all in the title.
I’ll be sharing the entire feedback but I doubt it will be able to come even toneuclidean and the helium
Just forgotten to state that this is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen and the most sophisticated user interface.
In can’t say anything about the functionality,
Weyvsryurfyu. Paulie thanks
