A music sequencer reimagined with multiple playheads.

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.

Incredible
Wonderful musical ideas come out of this app. The user interface could not have been better, so props to developer Alexander.
Maybe a small thing I’d find handy is to be able to deactivate some notes just like you can in Ableton. For example by selecting notes and performing ‘option + stop’. The selection of notes then turn dark and inaudible, but remain available for re-activation. This makes it even easier to evolve your sequence rapidly. Just an idea that popped in.
Anyway, thanks for making this app and for the recent update.
AUv3 and iPhone support
