Rozeta Sequencer Suite

X0X, Bassline, and the LFO/XY controllers were the reason for purchase. Was hoping to get a similar workflow to Electribe wave with x0x because Korg didn’t provide midi out for that app. The main thing I like better about Korgs step sequencer is that the note are one touch on/off which allows you to slide across several and toggle them quickly. I would prefer that method instead of having to click the note a second time to toggle it off. Setting up the iM1 to toggle with x0x in AUM took forever to set up because they don’t list the keyboard note only the number. I made a chart in excel to resolve this, but there should be a note learn button or something so I can find the sample in iM1 on the keyboard and press it to auto learn the correct key for the drum. There is also no way to trigger the note without playing the pattern which is just another nice thing. Not being able to save preset kits within x0x is limiting as well. I absolutely love bassline and think it’s an amazing tool for just diving in to a song from scratch. My plan is to send automation info in to Cubasis,gadget, or other iOS synths via these units. There could be a bit better documentation because I couldn’t get this to work at all with beatmaker 3. I inserted it as a midi effect and the pads/keyboard light up like the plugin is working but no sound comes out of my synth unless I press a key in beatmaker. If you’re new to iOS music making this must be combined with a AUM, or other iOS DAW that supports audio units.

I bought this pack of sequencers because I love how it was done in their drum synths. While Im impressed with all the musical possibilities this unlocks, my biggest concern is the choice to only support this app as an audio unit plugin. I wont go into the awful DAW options out there, the lack of decent apps that support sequencer AUs or the painful process of trying to get them to work right and fit into my workflow. Ill just simply state that if this app had the option of being used full screen with midi out (similar to the drum synths) I would give it 5 stars no questions asked.

This is my second favorite ios music app (after Gadget). I have too many apps to name but this one gets used the most. Using this with AUM is an easy and fun way to make music, and the other apps by Bram Bos work together with this well. Other developers apps also work easily, i like using collider or particles with Imini or Isem for a great background bed of music. Funkbox with Xox is another great combo. The best part is the developer has added new features free of charge.
