"This is a guide to 7XWAVE Sample Synth & Sequencer app
Explained how to choose tracks to edit sound and quick basic step editing.
Choose/import sounds, filters, trimming modulation and effects."

via the Apple Appstore

"7Xwave - a 7 track sample sequencer with synthesiser & animatable modulation features.
So many sound manipulation possibilities can be had with this whether its a funky electro backing track or crazy glitch effects.

Each track adjustable up to 64 steps.

Choose a sample, tweak the sound using envelopes & filters.

Add effects to each sound, pan, level, sample start, length pitch & filter.

Lock track parameter dials to a step or record dial movements in real time.

Export recorded loops or route audio into Audiobus or AUM etc keeping in sync with other apps using MIDI or Ableton Link.


This app was inspired by the Korg Volca & Electribes. I had so much fun with the Volca but it felt limited in memory and steps. It was a very fun sound toy & occasionally a loop maker but I wanted to be able to store more, longer patterns, and have more variation in sequences. Being a massive fan of the Korg Electribes, i looked at the recent Electribe Sampler. It was cool but just didn't seem as fun as the older Electribes plus you couldn't animate the sample start and length which to me was the best part of the Volca. So i decided to see if I can make my own app that does what i wanted. Using the knowledge i gained from 2Xb303 & 6X806 I delved deeper into audio coding. Originally an environment artist, I have had to leant alot as i go, but here after many months during a strange year of set backs, I finally finished it. I know there will be some disappointed its not AUv3 as I havent managed to find a way for that just yet. I have had great fun with this and created some cool loops and tracks myself. I dont need my Volca anymore. I hope you enjoy this too.

6X806 Drum Synth App for IOS next update demo

Published on Jul 23, 2019 BEATS N BOBS

"Here is a quick demo of the features for the new update (JULY 2019)

**** Big update with lots of new great useful features!****

*. Added parameter set for almost all knobs per step (manually or while sequence is playing)

Press P-Set to enable (flashing) Double tap P-Set to enter erase mode. Turning any dial will either set / lock that parameter to the currently selected or playing step on current track; or erase all parameter sets to all steps on current track. Colour of dial ring will be red when there is an active parameter on current step. You can clear all parameter sets for all active dials on the whole sequence using CLR params (in Edit Sequence).

*. Added 3 bars for total of 4 bars and 64 steps per track . The bar the track is currently playing within will be shown across the top row step LEDs. Choosing Bar 1-4 in Edit Step area, selects which bar to enter steps into.

*. Modified and reduced the gate time so if Gate mode on VCA is enabled, it's shorter and more noticeable for really short pulses of sounds.

*. iPad UI mode. If using iPad, you can choose to either use the new UI layout that removes sub menus and allows you to access more knobs at the same time for more hands-on control.

*. Changed Expand function so that it automatically extends length of track to 64 steps. This makes it easier to convert 4/16/32 steps to repeat to the rest of the bars so you can make subtle changes to the other bars, making your beats less repetitive. Example usage will be to make a 16 step beat, press Expand, select bars to edit beats.

*. Added a Beat click slaved to track 1. When ever a step is played on track 1, you can also have an extra drum attack to boost the overall drum impact. Just press the "Beat on 1" button

*. Updated AudioBus SDK to latest version.

*. Updated Ableton Link to latest version including new slave start/stop.

*. Updated step buttons to move away from the 909 look and more of a stylish 808 look.

*. Updated the look, hopefully you will agree its much nicer.

*. Updated core code.

*. Minor improvement to BPM when not using Link. Its still preferable to enable Link even if not syncing to other apps."

Make Acid With... A Siel Expander 80 synth module

Published on Dec 8, 2015 BEATS N BOBS

"This unloved, little known synth has a nice meaty SSM filter in. Same as Prophet V, Kawai K3, Korg Mono Poly. It has square and saw plus noise, double mode., detune, two Lfos, Two VCO ENVs and seperate filter ENV plus Chorus and Square wave extra octave (drawbars) waves. Plus you can change everything via MIDI CC. So I must be able to get a nice Acid bass line surely?

Well after some tweaking with a resistor, I got the resonance right up. Its a shame theres no Glide or portameto but it DOES have dynamics for AMP and Filter so This can be used as accent via velocity sensitivity which I can adjust later. I also try adding pitch bend for a fake glide. Its not great. So later I added a delayed VCO LFO modulation just at the tail end of long notes. I also show a pad sound with keyboard tracking on the filter and LFO on the filter. Nice but LFO is not too slow.
I used Ableton to send CC commands within a pattern a I can use shorter or longer lengths loops on the CC .
Some parts I add some distortion and echos but thats it."
