Overview
StepBud is a MIDI Sequencer with Audio Unit AUv3 plugin, Audiobus, and Ableton Link. Add an unlimited number of steps to your sequencer. Your steps appear with a LED and a fader on top of your screen. You can change the active mode that your step faders displaying/controlling.
- Set the current note or chord in range of the scale and key you selected with respect the range of the octave you want to focus,
- Set the velocity, rate, gate time, modulation, pitch bend, portamento for each step,
- Try increasing the rate and repeat count your steps if you want to add more flavor.
In StepBud’s powerful Step Editor, you can set your step’s notes either from the virtual keyboard or your connected MIDI keyboard
StepBud is a MIDI sequencer app and it does not generate sounds itself. You need to route its MIDI out port in the settings menu to the app you want to sequence.
Please note that you need to have an Audio Unit host application such as AUM, apeMatrix, Cubasis, BeatMaker or Audiobus in order to use the StepBud as an Audio Unit plugin. And don’t forget to route StepBud’s MIDI out to the app or audio unit you want to sequence.
StepBud’s MIDI layer powered by free and open-source project AudioKit
Cem Olcay StepBud is available now for $4.99 USD on the Apple App Store.

Why do I need StepBud? Because I like my buds steppy, maybe.
I just got an iPad and need as many MIDI sequencing apps as I can get my grubby hands on!
I am an IOS step sequencer hoarder, and I must have them all.
Yes please. I do not have a midi sequencer
Like it’s style of sequencing,will be fun to use.
It’s very impressive feature wise,will be a blast to use.
That sounds like a promising development for programming sequences in AUM, so would love to try it out with various synth apps and see if I can stitch it all together to form a track.
This is really cool,very impressive concept.
I will love to run this in AUM.
I need StepBud to use with ScaleBud! ScaleBud has helped me lots with music theory and I hope to learn more midi sequencing with StepBud.
Takes me back to the SP-808 days! ^__^
I just started exploring iPad midi sequencer‘s last weekend. This looks fabulous.
