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.
What’s New
Version 1.5.20
- Fugue Machine Audio Unit (FMAU)’s timeline now properly restarts when its AUv3 Host sends it a Reset message. AUv3 Hosts send Reset messages to plug-ins in various situations, most notably here when you use the host to enable/disable loaded instances of FMAU. Prior to this version, if an instance of FMAU and its host were both running, if you were to disable the FMAU instance and then enable it again, there would be a CPU spike the moment you enable it. Fixed now. And thanks to the fix, a new possible use case: enabling/disabling instances of FMAU in the host now effectively launches/stops them on the host’s musical grid, which can be quite fun. Thanks to Gavinski of Gavinski’s Tutorials for catching the issue and inspiring the new use case.
