StepPolyArp Unit

App & Audio Unit MIDI effect for iPhone, iPad with iOS 11.0 or later

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

"Want to get arpeggiating in Logic Pro? There's two main ways to set this up inside Logic... but wait, with an iPad you can get hands-on thanks to StepPolyArp app. Darren Burgos shows how."

Darren Burgos - macProVideo

"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!"
