Modstep is live performance gold!!!

By legittristan (Pcmac user)

this app is such a great sequencer! It has by far the most functionality of any music production apps for iOS, but it does have a steep learning curve and a few quirks. While it’s definitely daunting for amateurs, it has just about everything a pro could want for live production and performance including extensive MIDI control and mapping. A few minor tweaks that would make a lot of the this app community very happy are: 1) A MIDI CC option to launch the next/previous scene, instead of having to map each scene to a control. 2) A dedicated “undo” button since it’s very disruptive to workflow to have to load from the auto-saves. 3) Metronome volume adjustment and panning. 4) The ability to mute MIDI notes (not just channel audio) so that instrument loops can be brought in and out of the mix, in-time, and with effects (reverb tails, etc.). 5) Support for AU MIDI plug-ins... and though this is one of the most “mappable” MIDI apps out there, the ability to map even more stuff is always great. ;) Thoughts from the devs?
One of the best sequencers I’ve ever used

By cuezaireekaa (Pcmac user)

At first I didn’t like this app because of the constant crashes. So I refunded it. Then I tried it again hoping to have better luck and voila! This is a very good app for sequencing and clip launching. Great for live play as well. It does crash a lot when loading in certain auv3 and iaa but I jus route all the midi clips to instruments in AUM. Pretty stable that way. And then I add effects in aum. I wish it was more stable. It really needs an update. I hope this isn’t abandoned. It really needs undo and redo functions. Also a big bonus would be I we can hav midi auv3 functions. Totally will support this dev if he doesn’t abandon this great app. Right now it’s my favorite “daw” style app for launching clips and experimenting. PLEASE update it sir. Thank you. Would be willing to beta test anything...
CRASH!!!!!

By civilians become warriors (Pcmac user)

I can’t do anything in this app. I have the newest iPad (2018) and every single time I try to load a synth into a track it crashes. I can only seem to open Modsteps own synth and sampler. I’d really like to use this app, so far it’s a no go. DEVELOPERS NEED TO FIX THIS APP. Reply to dev. Amimoog, loopy hd, sylo synth,iElectribe,fugue machine, synth one,scythe synth,fm player,Europa, FieldScaper, morphwiz,blocs wave, launchpad, reactable, soundprism pro, Basically, every single app that I have under IAA instruments in the browser. Every single one of them crashes your app. The only thing that doesn’t crash your app are the TWO items in internal instruments in the browser. I imagine if I download ANY other synth, it’ll crash your app also. I’m using 2018 iPad (6gen)software v 12.3.1 Update to review. After much frustration and a lot of trying different things, I finally got this working! Now that that’s settled, I’m actually enjoying this app very much. Upping the stars!
No MIDI import

By 7Z7 (Pcmac user)

I got this app so I could import my MIDI files into it for use with other apps. The developers are short sighted and overlooked this basic function. So then I discovered I could export MIDI from another app into it. However, when this app receives the MIDI clips, it changes the note data. Considering that everything I’ve bought from these developers does not work, it’s best to steer clear of them and everything they make. Not to mention, that neither Apple or the developer will refund my purchase. I lost $20 on a broken app, which looks like it will never get fixed.
