Intuitive, robust and feature-rich

This puts the fun back into classic multitrack MIDI. It’s already great and is getting regular updates from a talented dev who truly understands our needs.

Great App

This is a really nice app with some great features, it makes lite work of things like midi time stretch and feels like it’s the foundation for an excellent app. Excited to see how this app develops. Don’t get me wrong, this app is already very capable… I have various DAWs and Midi editors and would not expect to need this app but I do find myself using it. It’s a really good for trying things out even you later on move to a DAW, this app without a doubt has it’s place. With regards to midi editor, it’s basic but it does do all the basics and does them well, unlike other various dedicated midi editors I’ve purchased that people seem to rave about, they may have lots of features but seem to be missing the basics or poorly implemented things like a usable CC editor Xequence has a good one. Xequence is a bit of kit well worth having and if I’d come across it sooner it would have saved me purchasing a lot of other apps.

Best sequencer by Far

I’ve been using sequencers since the days of the Atari 1040st and this is easily the best I’ve used, what made those sequencers so good to begin with was was the rock solid timing and Xequence 2 starts there. Add to that ease of use and bundles of options and you’re only halfway to describing how good this app is.

What I like is that within minutes once you realise how it works you’re making music, no fuss just making music. With a background in Hip Hop, Disco/Funk and R&B I can get that elusive feel that’s so crucial to the end product, Xequence 2 gives me all the tools I need to do that and then some.

And with the most responsive developer I’ve encountered, Alexander even replied to an email on a Sunday and with a favourable response. What more can I ask for🤷🏿‍♂️👍🏿. Whether you’re making funky music or industrial and need a pure sequencer that integrates with your iOS ecosystem then this is the app for you.

Five Stars ⭐️🌟⭐️🌟⭐️ from me.
