    No probs!

    Looks like this sequencer doesn't have note ties, which would make it great for melodic sequences. Maybe I'm wrong? The keyboard input for sequencing is nice.

    Thanks, Gav. That's great news. This could be a very flexible sequencer once that functionality is out. I could see this taking on a LOT of sequencing duties. Appreciate the update.

    Yep! And if you haven’t yet, check out Loadker by the same dev. Only IAA. But super cool!

    I hope you will continue with more tutorials about this. It needs some in depth demonstrations.

    Yes they are coming, I have been waiting for some fixes…

    This has been released, however no swiping on step action (tying / transposing) seems to work for me (iPad air 4)
    Anyone else experiencing this?

    Thanks

  • Does it only accept the “onboard” keyboard for setting the pitches per step, or am I missing something? It seems that it would pretty useful for it to accept the AU keyboard that is always available in AUM, for instance.

  • What’s benefit from mKer over Drambo as step sequencer? I mean I like the interface of mKer, but realised probably I can do similar 16 tracks with different length by using Drambo as midi auv3? @sfm can you shortly describe benefits mKer over Drambo as step sequencer please?
    I like fast 8 banksx8paterns and mute groups for sure, and UI is clear in mKer.

  • mKer has more options as a sequencer than Drambo at this stage… you can create patterns, clips and ranges… clips have steps as well, which are different then steps on the different patterns, of course you can also group clips per bank… there is something coming at some point for Drambo that will be fantastic and will enhance the sequencer capabilities a lot, but I do not have a date yet…

    It also comes down to personal preferences… you can use both based on your needs…
