A generative MIDI brain for your hardware synths

Sequentia is a generative MIDI sequencer for iPhone. It writes drums, acid lines, chords and melodies in one key and tempo, and plays your hardware synths live over USB, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. No computer in the setup. Free on iOS, Pro unlocks the full kit.
Being able to import my own MIDI patterns and have Sequentia generate variations off them would take this from a fun sketchpad to a real performance tool for me.
Plugged my Hydrasynth in over USB and Sequentia was driving it within a minute, no laptop, no fuss. The fact that it just stays in one key and tempo while you jam takes all the usual sequencing headaches off the table.
Love the no-laptop setup, sending MIDI straight to my Model Cycles over Wi-Fi feels like magic. One thing that would really help live performance: a tap-tempo lock or a way to nudge the BPM by a few clicks from the main screen so I can tighten things up without diving into a menu mid-set.
Finally tried a generative MIDI sequencer that actually feels playable on a phone, and the one-key one-tempo constraint turned into a feature instead of a limitation. Sending patterns straight to my Model:Cycles over Wi-Fi without a laptop in the loop is genuinely liberating.
