Description

cykle is an inventive, semi-generative melodic step sequencer for iOS, iPadOS and Mac (Catalyst). cykle abstracts every musical parameter into its own sequence using decoupled sequencer lanes, producing complex and musically engaging patterns from the interactions between simple elements.

nb: cykle does not make sound by itself, you will need to connect it to a MIDI-compatible synthesizer app on your device, load it in an AUv3-compatible host (such as Logic Pro, Audiobus or AUM), or connect it to an external synthesizer, computer or any other MIDI-compatible sound generating device.

features:
- universal app (works on both iPhone and iPad)
- works in both portrait and landscape mode
- works as an Audio Unit (AUv3) MIDI plugin or as a standalone (CoreMIDI) app
- sample-accurate sequencing engine
- slick and responsive native UI
- pattern snapshots selectable via MIDI input
- song mode / pattern chaining
- pitch playable by MIDI note input (arp and chord modes)
- configurable tempo, scale and key
- every channel can be routed to a separate MIDI destination and channel
- every channel sends MIDI note- and pitch-bend data as well as an arbitrary number of MIDI continuous control (CC) messages
- full AUv3 state- and preset-saving
- randomization features
- save and load patterns
- decoupled sequencer lanes for the following parameters:
- pulse
- pitch
- rest
- step length
- chance
- velocity
- accent
- gate length
- chance
- ratchet (note repeat)
- accidental (flatten/sharpen)
- transpose
- chord inversion
- octave

- pitch bend
- mappable MIDI CC values (e.g., filter cutoff, resonance, envelope, etc.)
sequences can be instantly transformed by the following actions:

- mutate
- mirror
- reverse
- double
- bisect
- configurable clock division rate per sequencer lane
- configurable playback mode per sequencer lane (forward, backward, random, jump)
