i’ve been lurking here for a while, and i hope this doesn’t come off as spam. if so, please feel free to remove this post.
i’m looking for beta testers for a new iOS music app I’m developing, called cykle. a video demo can be seen here: https://vimeo.com/331405700 . the public Testflight link is here: https://testflight.apple.com/join/EAyichGs .
cykle is a generative step sequencer app for iOS. it’s based around the idea of sequencing various musical parameters independently (e.g., pitch, velocity, duration, step length). thus, cykle allows complex musical phrases to emerge from simple constituents. it was originally conceived as a sequencer to drive other sound generating apps and devices, but it also has an internal synth.
bug- and crashreports, feature requests and general feedback are welcome.
in terms of features, the following is already on the roadmap:
1.0 release:
help/tutorial section
saving and loading patterns
configure internal synth (e.g, waveform) per channel
configure MIDI (channel, cc number) per channel
additional sequence types (e.g., transpose, chance)
ability add and remove sequences on a channel
prettier app icon
1.1 upgrade:
AUv3
Audiobus and IAA support
sequence pitches with MIDI note input
later on:
receive MIDI clock
universal (i.e., iPad) version version
happy easter!

Always interested in a good AUv3 sequencer. But I see a iPhone screen ratio, no iPad landscape. Is that correct?

I’m not at home or with headphones right now, but I use both iPad and iPhone for making music all the time.

not yet. it’s still in proof-of-concept phase, i’m planning on adding both AUv3 and iPad support soon.

Looks really nice, I only have iPad but will sign up anyway and wait for that feature to be added.

as an iPhone-only app it will run on an iPad in scaled format

No worries, I have it added in testflight but not installed it.
I know, but only at portrait mode I pressume? Not very handy with a smart cover.

yep, i agree there should be an iPad version that supports landscape mode and there will be. I meant just in response to @BoBSwanS - you can currently test the app even if you only have an iPad.

Synth doesn’t appear to work on my phone? Interesting sequencer. Wish there were more scales to choose from

This is really cool! You’ve even got Link and MIDI sync.
I also like the key change feature. Can I modulate the key using the sequencer?
(The synth is working on my iPhone 8+, iOS 12.3 beta)

Hehe I just spent 10 minutes getting lost in it, and it was really nice :)
My unasked-for wish list:
the delay/verb to be send-style so that I can hear tails
when I drag the sequence dragbar thing, they forget their values when I shorten them and make them longer again, and I think they should remember
Edited: sorry I rushed in and didn’t read your roadmap first! Removed two things.

i realized there’s a bug in this version where the synth is turned off by default. switching ‘synth enabled’ off and then back on in the settings screen should do the trick.
will definitely add more scales.

i was planning a transposition (by scale degree) lane, but modulating by related keys might be more useful - meta-sequencing!
wish lists are very welcome

Given that you’re posting this on Elektronauts, I’d expect you to be prepared for a lot of feature requests
Custom scales would be cool. Maybe also some sort of modulation effect for elements of the sequencer
