Joe Topjian has updated GridStep, available for $4.99. The update is FREE to existing users.
What’s new in version 1.4.0:
- Added Pattern Trigger mode, which can trigger a whole pattern via MIDI note
A precision AUv3 MIDI step sequencer with explicit edit modes, controlled generation, and a grid built for performance. GridStep is a professional AUv3 MIDI step sequencer designed for clarity, control, and predictable results.
GridStep is an AUv3 MIDI effect and requires a compatible host app. It does not run as a standalone instrument.
