Karl Bartos (electronic musician, ex-KW, co-composer of songs like The Robots, The Model, Computer World,...) and Masayuki Akamatsu (media artist and author of various iPhone apps such as Banner, Oscillator, Echochops,...) create a 16 step music sequencer which is free, simple and fun. The executive producer is Jean-Marc Lederman.

We have created this simple music app for fun: it implements the basic waves of a synthesizer with a 16 step sequencer. This app is completely free, but we would be glad if you would consider a donation to the Red Cross. In 2011, the year we were making this app, the Great East Japan Earthquake struck, and we released it as donationware to support the people affected. The damage from that disaster has still not fully healed, and disasters have continued to occur around the world since then. We continue to ask for your support.

This application has the functions listed below. - 16 steps sequencer - Start/stop sequence - Multi-touch note input - 32 polyphonic tones + 1 drum track - 4 waves (saw, triangular, square, sine) - 4 drumbeat loops - Drums on/off - Random notes - Clear notes - Additional information

Please enjoy our music and think World.

【ミニ・コンポーザ】

カール・バルトス(電子音楽家、元KWのメンバーでロボットやモデル、コンピュータ・ワールドなどの共作者)と赤松正行(メディア作家、BannerやOscillator、Echochopsなど様々なiPhoneアプリの作者)は、シンプルで楽しい16ステップ・ミュージック・シーケンサを作りました。エクゼクティブ・プロデューサはジャン=マルク・レダーマン。

私たちはこのシンプルなアプリで音楽を楽しんでいただくために作りました。基本的なシンセサイザー波形を持った16ステップのシーケンサが組み込まれています。このアプリは完全に無料ですが、赤十字へのご寄付を検討していただけると嬉しいです。このアプリを制作していた2011年に東日本大震災が起こり、被害者支援のために私たちはこのアプリをドネーションウェアとしてリリースしました。その被害はまだ回復していませんし、その後も世界各地で災害が起こっています。引き続きご支援をお願いする次第です。

このアプリケーションは次の機能を持っています。

- 16ステップ・シーケンサ - シーケンスのスタート / ストップ - マルチタッチでのノート入力 - 同時発音数32音のトーンと1トラックのドラム - 4種類のウェーブ・フォーム(ノコギリ波、三角波、矩形波、サイン波) - 4種類のドラム・ループ - ドラムのオン / オフ - ノートのランダマイズ - ノートの消去 - 補足情報

どうか私たちの音楽を楽しむとともに、世界に思いをはせてください。

Simple but very fun! It's easy to work with, not complicated. If you're a Kraftwerk fan, you'll certain dig this app!

Pretty fun

Simple, fun

Simple and fun, but emphasis on simple

This is a fun little step sequencer that has you creating music in seconds flat. My only complaint is it might be a little too simple. There are very few presets, a rather small grid and no option to import your own sounds. Without those features this is little more than a toy. That said, I assume it was the intent of the appmaker to create something basic and fun. If that is the case, this is a success.

Simple and Gratifying

Playing around with this straight-forward mini-composer is a joy. Compose your sequence over any of four repeating drum beats -- either add a considered composition or just add notes at random, it all works, and pretty soon you have a nice little soundtrack for your next minute or two. The beats and the tones are all enjoyable, and the minimalist animation adds a surprising amount of happiness. Bravo!

Simple and fun

It would get five but there no way to save and only a one octave major scale to work with. I would love to see a way to have more than one repeating measure as well.

Fun but...

Some bugs and some complaints. I love the simplicity of it. Just screams kraftwork. But I kinda wish I could program my own drum sounds. I like all the synth sounds but I'd like to choose my own key. And the backgrounds could use a bit more color. It does tend to glitch when too many notes are happening but that might be my iPhone saying "whoa there guy, this is minimal not maximal!" I do like it and I would recommend it for tiny sketches or maybe to sample the synth sounds.
