Step Sequencer

In Step Sequencer, you can create patterns by editing steps in the step grid. Each row in the grid controls either a sound or an automation parameter, and each step represents a definable length of musical time. You can adjust parameters for individual steps, such as velocity, pitch, gate time, and more; and edit pattern and row settings, including pattern length, loop start and end points, playback position, and more.

Step grid: The main working area, where you turn steps on and off and graphically edit step settings using edit modes.
Row headers: Each header contains a row icon, a disclosure arrow to show subrows, and a set of controls for the row, including Mute and Solo buttons, a Row Assignment pop-up menu, Rotate buttons, and Decrement/Increment buttons.
Preview button: Preview the pattern in isolation without the rest of the project.
Edit Mode buttons: Tap to choose an edit mode for the step grid.
More button: Includes controls to show and save patterns, sort rows, display edit mode values, and more.
