Can we PLEASE get randomization for different genre?

This app is AMAZING!!! I just have 1 request to give it 5 stars. Can we PLEASE get randomization for different genres!? It would be nice to be able to randomize individual steps according to the genre of your liking. For example, if I’m creating a hip-hop track the randomization will give me kicks, snares, hats etc. according to that specific genre.

Hey BeatMaker3000, thx, Glad you like our MIDI Drum Sequencer 😊 and yes, of course your suggestion makes sense. But of course it’s also quite a big feature and we get a lot of different requests. But we will put it in our list!

Love this step sequencer but it is buggy!

Ok so i figured out how to midi route this step sequencer with EG Pulse since i can drag and drop my files from files app into EG Pulse very conveniently. All first 8 pads are routed and everything is great but this step sequence keeps repeating notes that I don’t have any repeat on. Specifically with the first slot which i have my snare preset to and it just repeats the snare hit when I don’t want it to. Second bug is for the second slot and the problem i have with that is my kick just mutes when I turn song mode on so i can get 64 steps. The first 32 steps for my kick, which is the second slot, just does play and it unmutes for the second pattern. Super frustrating when this step sequencer is suppose to speed up my workflow.

Hey juanthedon888, thanks for your review of our MIDI drum sequencer and sorry to hear that. We tested it again and especially in AUM it went very well. Do you still have these issues?

So good

If you want to sequence drums in IOS, this app is the one to get imo. Straightforward but with a lot of good variation options (probability, polymeter, patterns). It's so nice to control various tracks at once on the same app.

For the price it's absolutely worth it. I do wish that it was easier to switch between the parameter being automated (not easy to change live). Also not being able to set all automation steps to the same value makes automating pitched drums hard. But it's still a great app.
