SQIA: Music Maker & Sequencer

Play SQIA as you feel. You don't need music theory to make it sound good.

This is the music creation app with a grid of dots. Touch one and it lights, and your finger becomes the instrument: drag across the grid and you've drawn a phrase, the notes nearest your finger come up brightest, the ones it passed through more faintly, so a gesture becomes a shape instead of a row of switches.

Nothing here needs the right notes. The grid is already in a key, so whatever you touch belongs together in it. Once a pattern is running, it keeps evolving on its own: every hit rolls fresh, the patch wanders once a bar, and a replay never sounds quite the same twice.

A GROWING LIBRARY OF SOUNDS
• REVERIE: a drifting pad
• KALIMBA: a plucked string
• RHODES: an electric piano with a slow stereo tremolo
• ACID: a bassline whose filter opens on every note
• MACHINE: a drum kit laid out across the grid, one instrument per column
• BAREFEET: a soft filtered pluck
• SAMURAI WALK: an inharmonic string
• HANDPAN: a recorded handpan (SQIA Plus)
…and more. New sounds arrive on their own, no update needed.

Switch sounds mid-pattern and the same drawing turns into a different soundscape. Every soundscape you shape is saved as you play in your library without any limits.

SQIA PLUS
Open the second track and play two sequences at once: mute one to redraw it while the other keeps going, then bring it back and hear how the two sit together. Export any loop as a WAV, from 20 seconds to a minute. Keep the pattern playing with the screen locked or another app open, and play the Plus sounds. SQIA Plus is a one-time purchase at $3.99: pay once and keep it for good, with no subscription.
