MIDI Sequencer apps allow you to turn your smart device into a sequencer similar to a conventional drum machine or MIDI sequencer.

Sequencing details the organization and presentation of pre-recorded MIDI voices (or notes/sounds) within a set sequence of beats. Similar to looping, sequencer devices layer and loop sounds on top of each other to produce a coherent, single output track.

Professional audio creation apps like digital audio workstations, virtual synths and sequencers are becoming more robust as new updates and products continue to hit the marketplace. Mimicking conventional hardware, rack mounted devices and computer software, these apps are designed to bring the functionality of more expensive products to your smart device — offering you access to comprehensive music technology on the go.

Great MIDI sequencer apps not only function alongside your devices MIDI capability, but also function as MIDI sources and destinations themselves. Working in cooperation with other synth and music creation apps on your device, these sequencers can bring in MIDI voices from a variety of applications or from within the sequencing app itself. While the more simple, straightforward sequencing apps might not function as MIDI routes for your device as a whole, the more robust and intricate apps can take on more professional tasks.

Depending on your familiarity with managing MIDI sequencers, certain apps are more appealing than others. For example, just mixing MIDI voices with a simple 4-track sequencer is ideal for less experienced users, but as your projects demand more attention, there are apps with more options for increased tracks and specific voicing modulators.

The line between digital audio workstations, complete recording suites with music creation, sequencing and recording capability, and MIDI sequencers can seem arbitrary at best. Specifically, both apps allow you to create music and offer a variety of similar features. However, a MIDI sequencer-only app gives you the focus you need, plus a wholly dedicated UI, to focus specifically on sequencing your MIDI inputs.

The collection of sequencers below highlight some of the most popular sequencing apps available. Depending on your OS preference and skill level, not all of these apps are for you, but there is a solid spectrum of beginner apps and more involved, professional quality mobile MIDI sequencing.
