Description
Musicians can start tearing it up in the studio with Genome MIDI Sequencer (GMS), a powerful pattern based MIDI sequencer for the iPad. With GMS you can control all of your MIDI gear and apps* - sequence single patterns or an entire 16 track song.
GMS features standard MIDI features like Clock Sync, CC messages, Program Changes and more. It works wonderfully for sequencing MIDI gear like drum machines and tabletop synths. General MIDI files can be exported and imported for integration with desktop apps (some limitations apply**).
GMS also works great for sequencing other iOS apps. It features Audiobus and Ableton Link integration.
GMS supports any CoreMIDI compliant iPad interfaces such as the Griffin StudioConnect, Line6 MIDI Mobilizer II, iRig MIDI and others.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Though Genome now has a basic set of instruments, some MIDI gear or other music apps that support virtual midi connections are recommended for use with this app.

Ratings and Reviews
The sequencer I've longed for
Genome was recommended on a top apps list so I thought I would give it a try. I needed something to sit at the heart if my hardware setup on my ipad, as I'm moving away from my 7yr old mac book pro slowly. Genome makes you think you should have always had a touch interface with sequencing. Back in the 80's we could forgive the lack of patch memories, but not touch screen?! And so on. I love it. There are a couple of snipes. The learning curve is there at the start and that is fine, but there are a few conventions too far shunned. A simple routing interface would be nice (if its there I've not found it) and more groove flexibility. Overall though, this is great and is the best I've seen.
Great clip launching midi sequencer
Midi clip launching, song mode, built in synth, drum machine and effects, it's a great tool for musical composition and thanks to LINK can stay in sync with other LINK supported apps.
The best iOS sequencer for sequencing hardware
This is my first review but this app is so good I had to write one. I wanted to sequence my hardware synths from my iPad and tried various apps, midi machine, auxy (too limited) pro midi (too fiddly) etc, even tried the beta of modstep (looks good but not got to grips with it yet) .
Anyway genome is the bomb. Didn't have to read the manual, simple to use, sequence up to 16 midi tracks, multiple patterns/clips for each track, clip launching, can link clips to form a song, syncs brilliantly to my drum machine, can play notes in live from midi keyboard, fantastic quantise etc, etc. This was the last one I tried but should have bought it first, fantastic app. Haven't used the new built in synth and drum machine cos not needed. Buy !!!
