StepPolyArp

Step Polyphonic Arpeggiator/Sequencer

App and AUv3 MIDI effect for iPhone/iPad/Mac

"StepPolyArp" is a real-time polyphonic and polyrhythmic MIDI step arpeggiator and step sequencer. It can be used as a standalone application or an AUv3 MIDI effect plug-in.

The application and the plug-in can operate as a step arpeggiator by automatically generating melodic patterns from played notes or chords, or as a step sequencer that doesn't require MIDI input to play.

I really love this Arpeggiator... StepPolyArp is really really well thought out. You can create a Pattern (16 patterns available / Preset) very fast, create Accidents, Random, Automations (Velocity, Modulation, Volume, Pan, Aftertouch & PitchBend). 11 "tracks" are available on the grid (you can set their MIDI channel independently). Read the specifications at the end of this post. Watch also the video demo... A Killer App!
