Description

A music sequencer reimagined with multiple playheads.

"How Bach would have made a sequencer." (Create Digital Music)
"A musical feat." (Creator's Project)
"A new approach to sequencing." (XLR8R)
"A next generation music sequencer." (Ask Audio)

Fugue Machine is a tool inspired by composition techniques used in Baroque music and Serialism — e.g. Bach’s canons and fugues, and Schoenberg’s twelve-tone technique. The idea was to design a tool to manipulate a melody’s speed, direction, and pitch, as well as play multiple variations of the melody simultaneously.

As it turned out, the best implementation for this was to reimagine one of the most fundamental building blocks of all music sequencers: the piano roll.

Fugue Machine is the world’s first multi-playhead piano roll. Create a music sequence and play it back with up to four playheads at once — each at various speeds, directions, pitches, and more. Watch the playheads dance, and hear the complex patterns that emerge.

It’s mesmerizing.

Fugue Machine supports iPhone, iPad, MIDI, AUv3 MIDI, Ableton Link, Audiobus, Audiobus 3 MIDI, and Inter-App Audio. Thanks to the AUv3 standard, you can run multiple instances of Fugue Machine on the same device when hosted in an AUv3 MIDI host app — like Logic Pro, AUM, and Audiobus.

Belle mise à jour

Application sympathique qui vient de voir une mise à jour qui apporte un lot très intéressant de fonctionnalités comme le auv3 midi et support iPhone , rien que ca!

Application parfaite

Excellente application très intuitive et créative permettant aussi de piloter des instruments externes ou bien avec Audiobus... un régal !

Je voudrais aussi faire part du sérieux du développeur que j'avais contacté et qui m'a répondu aimablement dès le lendemain.

Developer Response ,

Hi and thanks for the review :] I just want to clarify, that this is expected behavior, and that all parameters in the app (including a playhead's play button) are quantized. That is, they are designed to change values at beat related times.

So to use it in its intended way...
1. Tap-down on the playhead's play button, but don't release your finger.
2. Note that the playhead does not start playing, but is waiting for you to release the control.
3. Release your finger just "before" the moment you want it to start.

The playhead will then start at exactly the right moment — i.e. the next quantization tick. You can also change the quantization grid in Settings to set the rate at which parameters can change.

I hope this helps, and if you have any more thoughts or questions, please feel free to email me at alexander@alexandernaut.com

All the best,
Alexander
