Description
Steps by Reactable is a small yet powerful MIDI sequencer that allows you to create complex rhythmic patterns in a surprising new way. Forget piano rolls and experiment with Steps’ inspiring dials. With Steps you can control any MIDI compatible app, send MIDI over network to your laptop or any other compatible device, and even synchronize external hardware analog synths such as Korg Volcas or Pocket Operators via an audio cable.
Features:
- Plug and play MIDI-out system automatically sends to all available MIDI input ports and our own virtual port.
- Bluetooth LE MIDI support
- Audiobus 3 Support as MIDI and Audio Sender
- Connect your iDevice with an external MIDI interface and control MIDI hardware.
- Synchronize external hardware synths such as Korg Volca or Pocket operators via the audio output.
- A carefully designed user interface that allows you to quickly switch between performance to editing mode.
- Play together with Ableton Link and sync multiple apps and devices over WiFi.
- Global Swing function (50% - 75%) - applied automatically to eight and sixteenth notes.
- Save and recall sequences, seamlessly during playback.

- Global Gate level allows global control of note duration.

Ratings and Reviews
Powerful and Intuitive
This Midi Sequencer can do some pretty cool things and has a great user interface. Their other app SNAP takes this app as a basis and makes a more streamlined version of a sequencer but this can make some very experimental sounds. The compatibility to sync with TE Pocket Operators or other hardware that uses a sync track is a really neat feature too. I’m very surprised this is 100% free with no in app-purchases or adds of any kind. You would be missing out big time if you don’t at least give this or SNAP a try. Please allow STEPS to customize the color interface as you can in SNAP. I remember emailing you a long time ago asking for said color change feature in STEPS but you you’d “leave it as green for now...” and then I see the feature in SNAP so now I feel like your teasing me haha. Otherwise I think the two apps are among the best in the App Store. A great minimal approach to UX/UI design that should win an award in my opinion.
Developer Response ,
Wow, this is the kind of review that one hopes for when developing musical apps. We're so glad you like it and hope that you keep enjoying the many possibilities of STEPS. Stuff like this is what gets us going.
If you would like to contact us (I think I replied to your email earlier) with videos or tracks of you using steps we'll be more than welcome to publish it to our followers. And if you liked STEPS maybe have a look at ROTOR.
Only 8 steps...?
Need more than 8 steps to create a track...
