When you open an App, you enter inside the brain of somebody, or several people… To understand an App, a Software, a Machine, it is better to understand the logic of the the man who did it than one specific thing… so, the first thing to do, is to look.. Why he put this button here, why… Why… Why…
And then you can say OK, OK, OK,… you can start to touch…
So, I opened Steps, checked out everything. On the top, one play button, a metronome icon, certainly the song library menu, the setting menu, and one button: a spiral icon... I don't know what it can be, another page…
Below 8 circles, 2 arrows in the centre, and certainly 8 steps.. On the bottom, a ribbon, a + and - button…, sure, it's the octave setting…
OK, so easy, I can push the play button…
Something is a little bit strange… the sequence plays 8 beats… it should play 8x8 beats and 8 notes, 1 note for each first step of the 8 circles… I tap the first circle to add 3 steps. The sequence plays now 11 beats… at this moment I understood that I have to take care.. I am not enter into a normal brain… I tap the centre of the first Circle trying to move the arrows… its green color turn to dark. I thought that I mute it, but instead of this, this circle has been remove from my sequence… now my sequence plays 7 beats… I tap again, and my sequence plays 11 beats again… I tap again, but hold this time, and swipe up and down and the pitch of the 4 notes included in this circle change… then I tap the line on the left side of the first Circle. The Circle disappear. 6 lines now. 3 are plain, and 3 are not… by default the first plain line is selected when you open the App, so I tap on the second one..??? Now this circle plays 4 eighteen notes. I tap the third one, and it plays 4 sixteen notes… I tap the first non plain line, then 4 beats of silence… I tap now on the metronome icon... I want to be sure of something… yes, it was sure! You can set the bpm from 20 to 999… I tap on the icon on the top right side, The spiral). A new page, 8 squares, I swipe on the first square, the notes pitch change. OK… 8 circle below, I tap on a circle, then it is removed from the sequence as it was on the main page, Below 4 wheels, 1 gate: the note's length for all the sequence… top! A Volume, a swing and a glide…
In summary, Steps is a unique and crazy step sequencer allowing to create a sequence from 1 sixteen note to 64 beats! I love what I do! Everyday I enter inside the brain of genius people… unfortunately everytime I have to come back in mine… Steps is a Killer App!

    Because I can read everywhere a Policy...

    1. this blog is man by a human for humans
    2. I can make some mistakes (because I am a human)
    3. Nothing will deleted or removed from this blog. For my mistakes or angers, apologies and corrections will be added if needed.
    4. You can see everyday on a banner in the What's hot today post the Apps offered by a developer...
    5. If you participate to the Sunday Contest, you will have to trust in me... But, if you like you can asked me the email list of the readers who participate to a Contest included Time and Date. I will send it to you...
    6. My rating... The first criterion is the App Store description. The last one is my taste and this is totally subjective... Each post come with a tutorial showing you all the knobs, menu, faders,.... Everything that you will be able to find in an App... I hope that this will help to make your own rating.
    7. If I really don't like an App, don't understand it or found too many bugs, I send an email to the developer.... I asked him if the App will be update shortly, I also offer my services as Beta Tester.... Most of the time, I will wait for a future update... Developers are humans too!...
    8. All comments will be publish here. For insults, offenses or very bad mood, the only restriction is that you have to sign with your real name...
    9. I don't know... Peraphs that I will add something later.
