Mobile Music Sequencer - US

Yamaha's Mobile Music Sequencer enables composers to combine a range of phrase patterns and create musical compositions intuitively, following the flow of composition, from phrases to sections and from sections to songs.
Category Price Seller Device
Music $15.99 Yamaha Corporation of America iPhone, iPad, iPod

Wherever you are, you can now sketch the outline of a composition. In addition, you can use the ingredients to delicately craft songs on a Yamaha synthesizer, or in Steinberg Cubase.

First, try loading the demo song (a number of demo songs are provided). Tap on the settings icon in the top right of the screen, select [Digital Sympathy] from the Presets under the File tab, and press the Load button to read in the song.

Create a song right away as follows:

Step 1-Create phrases
You can choose from a rich selection of 382 preset phrases (the phrase is the smallest unit in the structure of a composition). Under Phrase in the View screen, tap on a cell in which no setting has been made, then tap on the Select button on the left. To listen to a preset phrase, tap on its name. It is also possible to use real-time recordings made using the keyboard within an application, or user phrases which have been created using piano roll input. Using the powerful Loop Remix function, it is possible to divide selected phrases at specified intervals and then order them randomly, automatically insert rolls or breaks, and thus rework them into new phrases.

Step 2-Create sections
Combine multiple phrases together to create a section. Phrases are arranged in a vertical block and playback is turned on and off using the Section button at the bottom of the screen. The phrases can be managed as a single unit.
By specifying codes for individual sections, you can easily create variations. Using the Create command you can also create a succession of new sections based on the phrase that is currently being played back, which allows production to proceed smoothly.

Step 3-Create Songs
Put together complete songs by pasting together sections. This is easily accomplished by touching the Section area and then just dragging and dropping sections into the data area. Naturally, you can also input sections by recording in real time or by using the piano roll screen.

As well as a function for outputting standard general-purpose MIDI files, the application also includes a function for exporting files in an even easier-to-use format designed for Yamaha synths, in which characteristic sounds are specified in advance. (MOTIF XF, S90XS/S70XS, MOXF6/MOXF8, MOX6/MOX8, MX49/61, Tyros5 and MOTIF XS)

Excellent underrated App
Greasy Willy

This is a great app if you take the time to learn and understand it. Looking forward to any updates.


Awesome

Awesome App.


This was going to be the best DAW...
Jony R

But Yamaha isn’t listening to clients needs: No midi import No audio recording channels No ghost midi channels Yamaha could have been the king of mobile DAWs but they’re a sleeping giant.


Good app overall
laneDM

It takes time to learn but it has about everything that you need in a sequencer . Time consuming but worth it.


Just search for KORG GADGET
GUVE MY MONEY BACK!!!!!!

This app came out in 2013 and since then noooooooothing what people complained about has been changed except squishing out old iOS versions like if i get my iPad pro i will get this stupid app in it - neeeeeeeveerrr! This messy app is good only on my old iPad mini with the old display but you squished it out already by making this app good for iOS 12.0+. Dump people. ? Messy look.... ? Does not blend/mix with other apps.... ? Old sounds (from 60s, 70s)..... ? Veeeeeery old phrases.... ? Can not edit or delete unneeded phrases and believe me almost 98% of them (even from their store are from 60s, 70s) are clunky, noisy, some even out of quantize, some of the beat, some are good but with just an off note but its lucked up and you can not use it or edit even if you payed for this phrase.... ? Can not load your own sounds.... ? Can not load phrases from other apps.... ? Does not support audio-bus in any way shape or form.... ? Is not compatible even with their own Yamaha PSR keyboards even-though the PSR is just a Tyros but with less ram and memory, with also cheaper noisier keys.... ? The only thing done right is the way you make music in this app because the idea is brilliant scrambled together by people who makes music not not buy people who makes music apps (if you get my point).... Conclusion - this app is useless and expensiveish because even if you make a nice song you just can not extract it without the "specified" keyboard this app works with.... Message for Yamaha Corp. Dear Yamaha, just delete this app from the AppStore. Thanks!


Just don't buy it.....

* Messy look.... * Old sounds (from 80s)..... * Cant mix with other apps.... * Can not edit or delete unneeded phrases and believe me almost 98% of them (even from the store they have for you) are unusable (except disco once) nut who buys an iPod and an app to make only one kind of music?.... * Cant load your own sounds.... * Cant load phrases from other apps or machines.... * Doesn't support audio-bus.... * Not compatible with yamaha psr series (even though the psr is a cheaper but same functionality as a tyros)... + This app got only one thing right {the logic to make songs} create phrases, mix them, lay down the chords and the song is done. Every music app should have that kind of logic. And many of them do that but are 3 times cheaper and not lucked up so you can load/edit/delete any phrase you want from with in the app and other apps, and totally user friendly about sounds/instruments. Conclusion - this app is useless and expensive.

Yamaha Mobile Music Sequencer, the Best App for Music Creators !!
czefght

Update : I corrected my review because I realized this program performs good the editing jobs under piano roll section. Also I saw there is a new version on England (3.3.5) that supports iOS 12 and maybe correct the crash we are suffering with Dropbox compatibility So please Yamaha US give us that update also and also the other fixes and features Me and other fans and costumers are asking you since long time . You can read it below ⬇️ Thanks. ( I keep giving you my 5 Stars ) ✋? Warning !! This App is not for everyone ! If you are the kind of arranger musician or a composer that want everything to be easy and fast and mediocre Or maybe you are a good player but can’t create something original. Then let me warn you that this app could not work for you. This app can’t read or open midi files and neither can’t play auto accompaniment when connected with a midi keyboard ? This is a very good application if you are a dedicated composer or arranger willing to create a masterpiece from scratch. If you are like this, then be welcome to the best musical creation tool you can find !! I’m writing this review because I love this app and because there are many users that misunderstand the concept of this app and make bad reviews and had achieve Yamaha developers to no make the necessary updates on this wonderful app. This app contains the spirit of the “Yamaha Qy” line devices. And because of that it is not easy for any musician to drop in a midi file and just play it for edit it later. It is an app for “start” a project, mostly an original project and within this program you will find the tools to make your song to sound unique and detailed, if you want. Like I said it contains the spirit of the Qy line, but due to the touch screen, a clever Yamaha design and styles and phrases experience, and the powerful Apple ? processors, users benefit with a Program with the latest and fastest music creation and accuracy Tools in difficult details: It can be used like a normal sequencer editor in the song mode and can be used for phrases or midi loops in the phrase mode In both modes you count with piano editor with useful and comprehensive, and in-deep tools and the wonderful and very useful loop remix editor, with unlimited new forms ideas ? for your difficult parts The voices are good and useful and can be modified easy with the sound editor with cutoff, release, portamento, etc. And effects like reverb, delay, chorus, etc. can be added and mixed on the effects screen. (All of this can be done also from the piano editor for more detailed parameters) All of this will give you a mental focus and more ideas about what this Yamaha mobile music sequencer app will do for you and your music development. The kind of sounds you want in your composition will lead you also to look in your Yamaha keyboards, other external instruments, applications or computer Vst patches. The important thing about this app is that it will support you in all the way creation process from scratch to the end once you export your composition in midi format. And here it is where begins the interesting part for: Me and lovers of Yamaha MMS around the World ? ? Come on!! And Join my petition for the biggest and finale Update !! Yamaha We the users of your best iOS app you have ever made: “Yamaha Mobile Music Sequencer” Want an Need an Update, a full update to receive this coming New Year. So please Fix the Dropbox compatibility that doesn't work anymore since iOS 10 Also on iOS 12 the phrases from purchased packs get lost and users have to often be restoring purchases, besides sometimes it happens also with user phrases, making difficult to work when you are offline, no connected to the internet. Many times users doesn't have or doesn't want to use the internet for concentrate better in the actual song. Another important update is related to the voice link when we want to use another app's sounds or patches, many times it is very difficult to make MMS to play with the sounds of that external app so please fix the bug and make it compatible again with Audiobus and Inter-app audio and also with Midiflow. Also the Midi clock is very buggy and it's difficult to get it to synchronize with external equipment and needs to be improved. And under project settings: The Tempo. Sometimes it is needed a change of the tempo in the middle of the song so please implement a way to change the tempo, maybe in the piano editor in the first track used mostly for drums. Also under project settings : Time signature it has 4/4 and 3/4 only. It would be good to have some more options please. I think with these functionalities finished, the program would be complete and any other feature added will be just an extra, because the program it is perfect in its own way. So don't forget to sale more phrases, presets and sounds, I'm sure there are many users willing to buy them. Yamaha my sincere recognition to your amazing work !!
