A portable music production tool enabling composers to compose more intuitively.


With built-in phrase patterns, this MIDI loop based sequencer allows you to intuitively create compositions in a manner that is in tune with the creative process by building up sections with phrases and using these sections to build songs.
You can sketch the outline of a composition and use the ingredients to delicately craft songs on a Yamaha synthesizer, or in Steinberg Cubase.
Create a song right away as follows:
Step 1- Create phrases
You can choose from a rich selection of 382 preset phrases (the phrase is the smallest unit in the structure of a composition). Under Phrase in the View screen, tap on a cell in which no setting has been made, then tap on the Select button on the left. To listen to a preset phrase, tap on its name. It is also possible to use real-time recordings made using the keyboard within an application, or user phrases which have been created using piano roll input. Using the powerful LOOP REMIX function, it is possible to divide selected phrases at specified intervals and then order them randomly, automatically insert rolls or breaks, and thus rework them into new phrases.
Step 2- Create sections
Combine multiple phrases together to create a section. Phrases are arranged in a vertical block and playback is turned on and off using the Section button at the bottom of the screen. The phrases can be managed as a single unit.
By specifying codes for individual sections, you can easily create variations. Using the Create command you can also create a succession of new sections based on the phrase that is currently being played back, which allows production to proceed smoothly.
Step 3- Create Songs
Put together complete songs by pasting together sections. This is easily accomplished by touching the Section area and then just dragging and dropping sections into the data area. Naturally, you can also input sections by recording in real time or by using the piano roll screen.
All these methods in combination give rise to an endless series of new phrases.


Using the powerful LOOP REMIX function, it is possible to divide selected phrases at specified intervals and then order them automatically insert rolls or breaks, and thus rework them into new phrases. In V2.0, two loop remix functions can now be set for one phrase. It is also possible to use real-time recordings made using the keyboard within an application, or user phrases which have been created using piano roll input. By specifying codes for individual phrases or sections, you can easily create variations.
Additional voices and phrases

Four additional voice and phrase datapacks can be purchased directly using the application. (Dance Pop, Electronic, Hip Hop, R&B)
File export

Not only standard MIDI file format, but for Yamaha Synth (Motif XF, S90XS/S70XS, MOX6/MOX8, Motif XS, and newly MX49/MX61) the app can export an easier-to-use format. (Characteristic sounds are specified in advance. ) You can get the file by using iTunes File Sharing.
An built-in demo song composed by Daisuke Asakura

The app includes the Daisuke Asakura demo song. Daisuke Asakura is a Japanese music producer, composer and arranger. Also known as a keyboardist of the musical unit "access".
Try loading the demo song. Tap on the settings icon in the top right of the screen, select "Digital Sympathy" from the Presets under the File tab, and press the Load button to read in the song.

- Sound editing using filters, EG, and other effects
- Mixer function for each part

Comments about Yamaha mobile_sequencer:
I was skeptical at first, but this sequencer is powerful, way powerful. It reminds me of the QY70, but much easier to use. The sounds are very usable; like they were in the Qy70, and the sounds sound good together, very musical.
Some things I would like to see added...
More tracks
Ability to save sound with parameter changes, and then being able to call this up in a clip.
Audio tracks (streaming)
Sampler instrument
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
