Fugue Machine : MIDI Sequencer - Reviews, Revenue and Downloads - Apple App Store

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.

Nice little app

I had higher expectations about it. Not sure why its limited to 4 tracks. The sequence’s length could be extended. Would be great. The rounds knobs make life difficult to set a value. The app is easy to use though.

Amazing Fun and a Creative Tool

Possibly the most fun app I have. A fantastic idea generator with a brilliant implementation. Best part is the midi output is so simple to manage - I can send ideas to my desktop and fine-tune sounds in a DAW with almost no effort. Very worthwhile

Request: midi import

I’ve learned a lot so far with the sequencer. I would love to be able to import my own midi tunes in order to explore them more as well… Any chance of this?

Interesting

Fun but your not writing proper contrapuntal structures here. These are much much much simpler. Somebody called this the sequencer that Bach would use. No just no. Real Bach fugues are infinitely more complex and frankly beautiful . Not something a computer can do.

Incredible

I was just about to buy a hardware Groovebox for ideas, this made me change my mind.. unreal the ideas that this generates 👏🏼 I have it linked with a couple synth apps and wow I feel like this changed my life Highly recommended

Update Season

I think The dev is feeling energized, lots of updates lately! Well I just made a song with Fugue and let me tell you it was the backbone for an awesome musical experience. A total must have for music creation apps. 🎹 🎧

Fun fun fun

Now it’s AUV3 compatible. What a bonus to the fun level. Great app. No brainer for anyone seeking more MUSIC MAKING fun with their IOS device(s). Just get it and nitbgave to regret another second without it.

Get Inspired

A great sequencer app that creates multiple layers of interplaying midi music. Great for driving other apps, Ableton allows "jams" with others in perfect time. A great way to expand on projects made in other Apps. Pair this with Audiobus 3 and prepare to be inspired by what you can now do with Fugue Machine MIDI in your other iOS apps. Great on its own and plays well with others. Definitely recommended.

Best

This is the most interesting app I've ever gotten. Flawless performance, great for ideas. Heck I've just watched it play out for long periods because it's so interesting. The fact you can change keys and styles makes this perfect. Highly recommend.

Unique midi driver

A lot of fun to play with now that each head can be used in separate midi flows with Audiobus 3.
