Description

"StepPolyArp" is a real-time polyphonic and polyrhythmic MIDI step arpeggiator and step sequencer. It can be used as a standalone application or an AUv3 MIDI effect plug-in.

The application and the plug-in can operate as a step arpeggiator by automatically generating melodic patterns from played notes or chords, or as a step sequencer that doesn't require MIDI input to play.

Unlimited presets can be saved on a local device and synchronized to iCloud. Each preset contains 16 patterns, 5 customizable polyrhythmic step controllers, and a 32 steps event matrix with 11 polyphonic and polyrhythmic lines driving the arpeggiator engine.

The application supports full internal and external MIDI connections for input and output, Ableton Link sync, and MIDI clock source sync. An internal sound bank is included.

The AUv3 MIDI effect plug-in supports multiple instances. A compatible host is required to run the plug-in. The host needs to support the Audio Unit v3 (AUv3) MIDI effect format.

Hosts supporting AUv3 MIDI effect: Logic Pro, Cubasis, Beatmaker, AUM, Audiobus, NanoStudio, Auria Pro, apeMatrix.

Powerful, flexible and stable arp/sequencer

I've really gotten to grips with StepPolyArp in recent times and am finding it to be deep, versatile and a perfect fit for many of my projects. l don't really use other arpeggiator apps anymore as SPA provides everything I need from predictable straight-up arpeggiation to randomized/evolving patterns. It's super stable and importantly SPA has endured while other apps have come and gone. Support is great from a very responsive developer. Certain parameters (such as speed, gate, octave etc.) can be controlled on-the-fly by external midi and I've made good use of this. SPA sits deservedly at the centre of my workflow. Top marks!

“It’s just so good”

Really nice, powerful yet easy to use.
When I first started using this I thought this is so good. Little did I know at that point I was just scratching the surface with what this could do.

Switched from older app

Bought the older non-au app in error. Refunded by dev/store and immediately deleted the original and bought this - Does exactly what I needed. Great app.
