Thesys is an extremely powerful and intuitive MIDI Step Sequencer app, giving you control over just about all aspects of your favorite MIDI devices.

The best step sequencer, maddeningly tiny interface

This is the best featured step sequencer in iOS, to this day. Has a bunch of modulation lanes, 32 steps, independent lengths for different parameters, scale quantize, scalar transpose, song mode, dj-style midi effects. All amazing, next level stuff, crammed into the most uselessly tiny interface, and ill conceived zoom workarounds. Be ready for bumping adjacent controls all the time and screwing up your sequence. I use it sometimes, and it ends up sounding great, but I loathe the experience. It doesn’t need to be this tiny, there is all kinds of wasted space, and needlessly compacted, dangerous to mix up groups of buttons, in fields of unused white space. It was ported from the desktop, and was never designed for a touch screen. If you could expand the sequencers to fill the screen you would be set, I think. Replace the dreadful PC key modifiers, Cmd, Ctrl, Alt, with traditional touch interface modifiers, like tap and hold, double tap, etc.In an effort to use the app, I’ve gone to great lengths to midi map the controls to a midi controller, but, there is no way to reuse the midi mappings from one project to another, and there is no default mapping. I would avoid this app on anything except the 12.9” iPads.

No way to import midi?

Can’t open midi files from within the app or in iOS file share “copy to”. Just like all the other sugarbytes apps, low resolution, and works well with just about no other apps. Not having a file folder accessible from AudioCopy or AudioShare kind of makes using your apps unbearably tedious, terrible to incorporate into work flow. Your VST plugins all work great, hire a guy like that for your iOS versions and you’ll have some of the best apps.

Great AUv3 MIDI Sequencer

The update to the app is an excellent upgrade to the functionality of the app. You can easily create all sorts of musical mayhem by running multiple instances of the app and can change sequences on the fly via the GUI or use MIDI to control the app’s parameters.
