1. I feel a little silly, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to make the in-app purchase to buy the MIDI sequencing capability. Where is that?
2. The MIDI sequencer - does it have step record? Can it quantize phrases played on a midi keyboard in real time?

1. When you create a MIDI or instrument track, the app will ask you to make an in-app purchase or try out the feature.
2. Unfortunately not. You can quantize afterwards though.

Thank you. When I add a MIDI track, there does not appear to be any way for me to draw notes in that track. Is that correct? it would be great to have the ability to do that.
I also would like to ask you to add the real time quantize feature. One thing I like to do is set a pair of loop points and record myself playing MIDI notes as the loop repeats over and over, quantizing as I go.
Thanks!

After creating a MIDI track, you can either:
* Arm the track and press record: if you have a USB MIDI controller connected, you can record MIDI notes/events using that
* Arm the track and press record: if you don't have a USB MIDI controller connected, a virtual MIDI keyboard will be displayed and you can record MIDI notes/events using that (or arm the track and press the left part of the button on the mixer channel where you see a small keyboard displayed so you can play it before actually recording)
* Go into Edit mode and then tap-and-slide on the MIDI track to create a new MIDI clip. The piano roll editor will open where you can enter notes/events.
* When you have an existing MIDI clip, you can also double-tap it in Scroll mode to open the piano roll editor

A USB MIDI track is for sending and received MIDI from/to an external USB MIDI device. Displaying and using a virtual keyboard would make no sense unless the events would be sent to an external synth (which is an uncommon and currently unsupported scenario).
This is not because you don't have any instruments installed or purchased.
You can always enter the piano roll editor for both USB MIDI and instrument tracks though.

That's correct, it will only display for a virtual instrument track.
