Excellent midi-only sequencer! – Xequence | MIDI Workstation Review

Stop right here if you don’t understand that this is a midi sequencer. It sends notes and parameters to other apps, but DOESN’T MAKE ANY SOUND OF ITS OWN. What it does do is a fantastic job of letting you record and “draw in” notes and other values to send to other apps. It’s rock solid, focused, and elegantly executed. The developer is committed and very, very responsive. Nothing touches it, on the iPhone at least, for midi sequencing in a timeline based layout. Even on the iPad where I have other sequencers and DAWs I find myself reaching for Xequence because of its lightness and its single-purpose focus, which I find I prefer over the bigger boys that try to be everything and end up having various shortcomings. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a MIDI composition tool that is timeline based and is a universal app. [Edit 2018-01-04] The developer just added midi import and export among other things! I haven’t tried export yet, but midi import is more solid than any iOS app I’ve worked with. There’s a fantastic “global clipboard” now also that makes it a breeze to copy things between parts and even projects. This is sooo useful! Thanks for the terrific update.
