Description
Quantum is a performance midi sequencer which approaches music composition with an interactive creation processes - sometimes referred to as 'noodling'.
Where pattern or piano-role sequencers are good for music forms (intro/verse/chorus etc) or grid entry, Quantum's approach is built around the idea of a step being the focus - think of the step as a single note or chord written on a music sheet then add a lot of extra notation (like probability of playing or ornamentation say).
These highly detailed steps are then aligned into sequences (think melodies) that loop. You can have any length up to 64, but these can be further split into 4 sub-sequences that have their own set of sequencer parameters (like tempo, play direction, transpose etc).
To enter step parameters such as note pitch, velocity, gated length etc, 16 general faders are available which allow you to draw, drag, select copy/paste, inc/dec & link together to edit values. These are also midi learnable (midi cc or nrpn) to allow you to use control surfaces or midi controllers.
To aid you with faster control Quantum has loop actions which you can program in to carry out tasks when a sequence loops - e.g. transpose, randomise, start or load another sequence etc.
With up to 24 sequences playing Quantum introduces a mixer page allowing you to blend midi velocities. Built on the MidiSequencer engine, midi FX, devices & Controllers are now possible per sequence.
So why would Quantum be good for your setup? There are many midi enabled IOS & hardware synths that produce exotic timbres if you send them fast & varied midi controls that you just would not hear with keyboard playing or slow tempo tunes. Also, Quantum, embraces experimentation in melody creation and by copy/pasting allowing quick setup of arpeggios & counterpoint tunes that you can create & manipulate on the fly!
note : This app sends midi information - you need to use it in conjunction with any midi enabled iOS synth app (e.g. Sunrizer) to hear sounds

Reworked UI to more modern flat black design - but you have the choice of returning to the classic mode
New User definable key scales - you specify how the semitones map to other semitones and how they are spelt (e.g. Gx or A)
Convert your sequences to standard midi files (multi-track) & share using airplay to iCloud, other apps etc
Added Ableton Link Request Stop/Start
Front screen mute & skip buttons
Increased max undos to 512
Midi note on with 0 vel now treated as note off
Keyboard midi note messages can now drive the sequence in place of a clock - they advance steps
RealTime controls now improved and offer 4 pages of 8 controls each

. double tap show button now also forces hidden sequences(those on other page) to show notes, vel, gate% etc
. You now have an option to randomise using only selected notes (use Select).
. Undo now works on all shown fader displays (notes to mute) & after a randomise. Increased to 124 undo actions

. Bug Fixes
. Reverse loop type now resets to end step - was causing an issue with master/slave sync
. Mixer Link was not working with just one sequence with parts
. Can now touch controls above step options & chord panels when open
. Chromatic step notes now selectable with faders & inc/dec buttons.
. Sequencer Audiobus Midi option was not opening Devices panel
. Enhancements
. Addednotes/Chords now work on relative velocity & gate again 0..100% of step note setting
. Step Trigger Conditions: Mute, Skip or MuteChords on every nth loop. You can also invert n so trigger applies on loops other than n.
. select mode no longer restricts controls to be accessed with selection
. Sequences no longer default to Master or Slave but None. Change in Setup panel
. Audiobus 3.0.3 sdk
. new sequences now default to midi override ch = slot. Copy/paste/load leaves untouched. Show Channel button now warns if ch override applies
. New Option Midi MMC start/stop allows external hardware (e.g. Arturia beatsteps) to start & stop & reset the song playback. You can use this with Slave mode (and enable midi clock on the input) to follow the external hardware tempo (beatstep seq mode). If you have an IOS app that sends midi MMC you can do this on device. Note : IOS apps like AUM do not send midi MMC only respond to it.
This only applies to coreMidi not AB3 midi at the moment - will probably add later.
. Time interval faders now show total time (in step fractions) under title - as a guide to overall seq/part length
. iphone X support
. Reverse loop type now resets to end step - was causing an issue with master/slave sync
. Mixer Link was not working with just one sequence with parts

. Bug Fixes
. minor chord notes fixed to show harmonic minor ascending :
. actions starting sequences(with/without parts) now work correctly. Use Free songMode to get the best from this & start plat from a seq/part.
. version loading no longer restores sequence input transpose settings (volume, mute, solo & sync settings also protected)
. Program Chg (with Bank change) via core midi was sending 1st rotary twice instead of 1st & 2nd (as CC0, CC32)
. Enhancements
. mute button long hold (>.5secs) on a sequence with parts now sets all parts to the new value (muted/unmuted)
. Quantum can now be added as an AB3 midi filter. Currently just acts like an input but expect new functionality soon.
. Quantum can also be added as an AB3 Audio input - for those of you wanting Quantum in the Audio section.
. made all floating message 3 seconds long so easier to read
. You can now apply a sequence transpose to all parts - see new button bottom left in Transpose panel

Nofarmer,
Impressive!
I'm still trying to get a grip on all the amazing possibilities with this sequencing app. It's a multitrack sequencer with SO MANY options and I've read elsewhere about a lot of future plans including a more modern looking interface. I don't really care how it looks as long as I can make some music happen and the fact that's it Universal made this an instant purchase.
b.eats.z,
Unbelievable App
Out of the gates, this is one of the most creative and fun midi sequencers while still being deep and complex. Just using the basic functions will get you inspiring results, so you don't have to dig you don't want to. But if you do, the rewards are great. Classic 5 star app. Must have.
TooMuchTo,
More than a traditional step sequencer
I haven’t found an end to what this can do
Oceans in space,
Tangerine times 10
This is insanely good, with so many features that are just hiding in there waiting for you to understand. When I find a lil feature it makes me happy that this app dev digs the old school ways. It is way more than I thought at first.
WendysFrostyCarlos,
Will now be my go to main sequencer on iOS
This is what I've/we've been waiting for. Thanks, Tony!
A Piece of Cod,
Among the most powerful
Among the most powerful step sequencers ever made. Only downside is it accounts for 70 percent of my battery use if I forget and leave it open, even if the clock isn’t running.
FUCHTARD,
Was sooo excited till I tried it :(
Its fun for sequencing other ipad apps but I was really hoping it would also work with an OSX MIDI Network Session like ALL my other midi apps do. BUT IT DOESNT (crying) It has so much potential too! Ughhhhhh.... Dying
Its basically useless to me as its unable to touch hardware synths and VSTs via my Mac as I'd hoped. :(
Devs PLEEEEEEEASE fix!

chanel-no1,
Useful for multipart compositions
Update May 2023
Can you please answer this question.
QUESTION: How can we sustain a note instead of playing note to note.
I’ve sent emails and asked over a year ago.
Now your email doesn’t work.
========
I think this is a fantastic app for compositions. I can’t figure out, though, how to sustain a note. Is this possible? If not, can you add this feature.

deepspacer,
AUM support PLEASE
This app is bananas... so deep and flexible. My only wish is for AUM support.
Grandz22,
GUI needs serious makeover
Doesn’t sync properly. Not user friendly. Too much menu diving.
