"StepPolyArp" is a real-time polyphonic and polyrhythmic MIDI step arpeggiator and step sequencer. It can be used as a standalone application or an AUv3 MIDI effect plug-in. The application and the plug-in can operate as a step arpeggiator by automatically generating melodic patterns from played notes or chords, or as a step sequencer that doesn't require MIDI input to play. Unlimited presets can be saved on a local device and synchronized to iCloud. Each preset contains 16 patterns, 5 customizable polyrhythmic step controllers, and a 32 steps event matrix with 11 polyphonic and polyrhythmic lines driving the arpeggiator engine. The application supports full internal and external MIDI connections for input and output, Ableton Link sync, and MIDI clock source sync. An internal sound bank is included. The AUv3 MIDI effect plug-in supports multiple instances. A compatible host is required to run the plug-in. The host needs to support the Audio Unit v3 (AUv3) MIDI effect format. Hosts supporting AUv3 MIDI effect on iOS: Logic Pro, Cubasis, Beatmaker, AUM, Audiobus, NanoStudio, Auria Pro, apeMatrix. Hosts supporting AUv3 MIDI effect on macOS: Logic Pro 10.7 or later.

Initially I found this as a workaround to some USB MIDI controller’s native arpeggiators that were very jittery. Other arp apps had some features but were missing others. This has everything! I’ve actually replaced the hardware controller’s arpeggiator with StepPoly entirely and programmed it via MIDI Learn in AUM to do everything the controller did and more! Everything stays perfectly in sync and has every arp parameter imagineable. Good job!

This is an amazing app that lets you create and play arpeggios or sequences with ease. It is very well thought out. I use it to play Korg synths via Korg Gadget, and to create a complex or simple backing through a Korg Pa arranger. You should have a basic understanding of midi if you want to drive internal or external synths. Also, basic music theory is helpful for understanding scales, etc.

Vraiment très complet. Il faut ce mettre dedans au début mais ça en vaut la peine. La dernière mise à jour apporte pas mal de nouvelles fonctionnalités sans surcharger l'écran. Et cette dernière mise à jour a règle mes problèmes de latence \o/ -- Very update, thanks! (Jan 2024) --

Please add a feature that allows specifying tension chords for arpeggiation.

Really nice, powerful yet easy to use. When I first started using this I thought this is so good. Little did I know at that point I was just scratching the surface with what this could do.

I've really gotten to grips with StepPolyArp in recent times and am finding it to be deep, versatile and a perfect fit for many of my projects. l don't really use other arpeggiator apps anymore as SPA provides everything I need from predictable straight-up arpeggiation to randomized/evolving patterns. It's super stable and importantly SPA has endured while other apps have come and gone. Support is great from a very responsive developer. Certain parameters (such as speed, gate, octave etc.) can be controlled on-the-fly by external midi and I've made good use of this. SPA sits deservedly at the centre of my workflow. Top marks!

I seem to be a fan of this developer, another really nice app. If you’re going to the effort to read this then waste no more time and go download. This Arp has a lot off options and works well. I’ve used in AUM and Cubasis without any problems. It’s A really nice tool to have in the box 😀
