8 of 25I purchased an add on pack and a drum set in the pack will not load. I tried to get help on the makers web site and their forum with no answer at all, in fact all the posts I saw on the forum were unanswered. The refund will come soon... thats an ironic statement friends.
So easy and fun to use. Such a shame it hasn't been updated. Get this thing on the audiobus with midi sync please!
I sit on planes a lot. This is what I do and I love it. It's so much fun and the sounds are really great. Worth every penny. I wish I could bk up to drop box!
Even though this is an older app, I got hooked by it when I first started messing around with it. This app and all (yes ALL) of the IAPs are worth it. This is just one approach to making music, but it’s one that will really get you to thinking differently, especially when you apply effects. Or how you choose to place different drum parts. Linear drumming works great for this! The biggest challenge is allowing enough room for chords, if you use them, as they require a track for each note of the chord. This app is so much fun.
Update: I can’t believe that 8 years later I’m still using this app and it’s still supported! Thank you!! iSequence is the gift that keeps on giving. Sure I bought it for myself, but months later the updates keep making it better and better. Audiocopy works perfectly with Multi-Track DAW, so no longer do I need to use Beatmaker on my iPad to lay down beats. Proper Multi-tasking support will make this process even easier! Can't wait for that to be added too. This is one of the most expensive apps I have paid for ($15+) that continues to be worth it! Can't recommend it enough. It's helped teach me how to make music.
This app is great just need that Bluetooth support
IOS 5.1.1 for older iPads (for newest update of iSequence) Tracks are now 'skipping'. I.e., tracks start playing, and then there are 'dropouts' ( like when old LPs would skip, and notes would skip. ) This happens especially when there are more than 5 notes playing at once. Also, export & import functions both do not work. With export function, it appears to be converting the data, then reverts to the splash screen (which has the export function). Import function just doesn't work. No URL is offered for upload. Otherwise, it's a great app that I always use. I'll grade it after these items are fixed.
I’m so glad you decided to update this for iOS11. Thanks for standing behind your product.
