StepLoom
Beat maker & AUv3 groovebox
$3.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
StepLoom is a fast, touch-first electronic music sketchpad for making beats, loops, basslines, and melody ideas on iPhone and iPad. It gives you the focus of a compact groovebox without the weight of a full DAW, so you can start a rhythm, shape a synth line, try an AUv3 instrument, arrange patterns, and keep moving while the idea is fresh.
Create drum patterns with a step sequencer, write melodic parts with piano-roll style editing, stack chords, add legato, adjust BPM, mix tracks, switch sounds, and build Pattern Chains for song sketches. When you want to go beyond the built-in sounds, add AUv3 instrument or effect plugins, choose exposed plugin presets, and activate Plugin Sound directly from the sound picker.
StepLoom is built for quick electronic music drafts: open the app, tap a grid, hear the result, and turn a loop into a structured idea.
Main features:
- Touch-friendly beat and melody workflow
- Drum tracks for Kick, Snare, Hi-Hat, Clap, plus Synth
- Step sequencer with playback highlight and loop control
- Piano-roll style melody editing with chords and legato
- Pattern Chain arrangement with section nodes and layered patterns
- Blueprint-style arrangement view for visual song flow
- AUv3 instrument and effect plugin slots
- Plugin preset reading for AUv3s that expose factory presets
- Plugin Sound option for playing tracks through AUv3 instruments
- Mixer controls for volume, pan, EQ, filter, drive, and balance
- MIDI input and external clock sync options
- Export full songs or the current pattern as audio, stems, or MIDI
- Adaptive iPhone and iPad layouts
StepLoom is for producers, beatmakers, songwriters, and electronic music learners who want a focused place to capture musical ideas before moving into a larger DAW.
