midiSTEPs is a designed from the ground up as a touch-based iPad sequencer app.

Designer Art Kerns describes it as a powerful but fun MIDI step sequencer app that sends MIDI note and CC messages to other music apps and external synthesizers. He told us, "It was designed to be super easy to use in a way that's similar to the SH-101 sequencer, where you can just quickly enter a few keyboard notes and you're ready to hit play. At the same time, it also incorporates many ideas from other classic and modern sequencers, allowing you to set control values per step, mute and skip existing steps, switch between multiple patterns and parts, sync and link patterns in various ways, and modify your sequences."
