Octachron MIDI Drum Sequencer

Screenshots
Octachron is a flexible 8 Track iPad MIDI Sequencer with rich modulation and sequencing capabilities. It is optimized for drums but also fun for experimental melody lines. It works standalone or as AUv3 AudioUnit in your favourite iPad DAW (like AUM, Cubasis, Beatmaker, ApeMatrix or Nanostudio etc.).
*Press Reviews*
“An exciting MIDI sequencer with advanced features” (Synth Anatomy)
“Particularly the probability parameters are a lot of fun” (Amazona)
“Octachron controls just everything with iPad” (Gearnews)
*Please notice: Octachron is a MIDI sequencer and does not create any sound of its own*
