APHELIAN features a new kind of sequencer, based on a geometrical metaphor. The interface is composed of 4 independent instruments, distributed in the corners.

New version 1.1.0
Old version 1.0.4
Release Notes New AUv3 support! In this release we introduced the ARPEGGIATOR MODE. You can use the geometric sequencer to control arpeggios in real time using a midi keyboard in any AUv3 capable host (Audiobus, Aum, Beatmaker, Cubasis, etc). The AUv3 SEQUENCER MODE will be available soon. ATTENTION PREVIOUS USERS: We changed the PROJECT SAVE workflow, making it more intuitive and similar to the classic DAW save/open pattern. The AUTOSAVE functionality is still working, but now it writes directly to generic unsaved buffer. We also changed the app logo!
