Recently, many musical instrument mobile apps have been released targeting normal people who can't play musical instrument at all. The reason of developing video system based on step sequencer are as follows; first, users can freely play the musical instruments; second, induce multiple users to play; and third, develop and suggest new step sequencer fused with the video. To resolve issue in video synchronization caused by sync issues when operating multiple step sequencers, the Pocket Operator of Teenage Engineering was used to realize multiply-connected step sequencer and also, the ultimate video system was developed through Mira-Web for multiple participation. In addition, it's required to make the Pocket Operator as software and receive various feedbacks to continue and complement study in order to develop the better video system.

In recent years, various virtual reality contents have been explosively developed, and the 'chance operation' in previous studies was mentioned. This study tries to implement the Step Sequencer in the virtual reality. Through the theoretical background analysis and case studies of virtual reality, three major experiential values such as Value of Overcoming Constraints, Value of Strengthening Experience, and Value of Creating New Experience were induced. A convergencestep sequencer with the presence and immersion elements was developed and presented so that the music contents divided into 4 areas can be understood easily controlled more conveniently while keeping the identity of the step sequencer. It is expected that various convergence VR contentscan be developed in the future studies.

Recently, playing musical instruments in the application or website which is a sort of playing has been catching on for ordinary people even though they don't know how to play musical instruments. It appears that such playing has randomness which is quite natural. Thus, 'Random operation method' which induces the observing audience and changes them to manage actively is developed and suggested for the image system in this paper by utilizing Launch Pad, based on theoretical background and case analysis. Step Sequencer was developed in two ways: the image system is realized with Step Sequencer by connecting external program or made as clips to arrange them for each key on Launch Pad and implement, which is keyboard launch type.
