I'm grateful for this app. I was able to download it and instantly start programming rhythms for my BeatBuddy drum machine pedal. The only things I would like to see is the ability to copy and paste to save time. The mapping of sounds wasn't all one-to-one with BeatBuddy Manager, but that's not unheard of with MIDI. Many thanks to the developers.

Doesn't seem to support audio units (question); couldn't find any reference to them on their web site.
