    Developer TvanD has released an updated version of Changeling Sequencer, a diatonic chord sequencer for the iPad.

    Changeling Sequencer is designed for recording and manipulating musical phrases.

    Here’s how they describe its use:

    1. Start by recording a simple melody-line with one finger.
    2. Change the scale and root by sliding the ribbons.
    3. Transform the melody to a chord progression by turning the chord knob.
    4. Play around with the available voicings and transition modes that affect chord inversions.
    5. Spread out the chord notes over time using the arpeggiator.
    6. Switch to the next track by swiping down on the pattern area.
    7. Change to playback mode, and start improvising a solo over the chord progression until you hear something that you really like.
    8. Rinse and repeat.
