Bend time. Automate notes. A single grid as a multi-dimensional musical canvas — for iPad, iPhone, and Mac.

Fugue Machine Rubato dives deeper into the multi-playhead piano roll concept of Fugue Machine Classic by adding time-bending playheads, parameter automation, and much more.

At the heart of the sequencer is a nonlinear time engine that lets playheads move with a natural — or surreal — feel. Unlike conventional sequencers, where time advances at a constant rate, time in this engine can expressively accelerate, decelerate, freeze, and change direction. Playheads are now free to swing, strum, bounce, move elastically, and more.

Built upon the time engine is a robust parameter automation system with time-bending automation playheads and envelopes sculpted with points, curves, and shapes. Nearly everything can be automated — even the notes.

Eight years in the making, Fugue Machine Rubato is rock-solid and absolutely packed with features.

Innovative Superior Sequencer

I am extremely happy with this mind blowing sequencer. It’s one of a kind and will be the only one I’ll use out of the 10 sequencing apps I already have. Its features are so fun and well designed that it’s a wild beast to be tamed. Thankfully Alex added lots of his own presets to get things moving so as not to be too overwhelming. I agree with the other reviewer that this absolutely needs a randomizer feature.

He does it again!

When I learned about this updated version, purchased without hesitation. Amazing Midi Sequencer from a long time fan!

Trillion900 ,

Great!

Brilliant app although it desperately needs a complete manual as it’s difficult to know how to operate all the features.

Developer Response ,

Thank you, and my apologies for the current state of the manual! I greatly underestimated the amount of time a proper manual would take. I'm currently writing a more comprehensive version, which will hopefully be completed soon. In the meantime, and as you may have already seen, there's built-in reference for all of the individual parameters, as well as information on the website's current manual page.
