Fugue Machine Rubato

Published by: Alexander Randon

Description

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

Kensington Slagger on

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.

YES!!!

The sequencing bar has been raised. Incredible. Makes me write in inspired new ways. Deep learning curve, but (as others have mentioned) you pick it up fairly fast and intuitively. Biggest tip: start simple and learn from the presets. Thank you Alexandernaut for the years spent developing this for us!

Great!

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

Live set tested / approved. Wow!

I’ve had the honor and pleasure of beta testing this app so i’ve actually been using it since last summer (2024) and there is just too much to say about it. It is unlike anything else i have ever used, absolutely incredible, inspiring, and very powerful. Flexibility like nothing else. There are so many ways you can use this sequencer! When i first got it i set out to create a whole new live hardware set from scratch, with Fugue Machine Rubato(iPad) as the ONLY SEQUENCER, sequencing all synths and drums! Yes, i had a drum machine, but i did not use its built in sequencer. With the 8 playheads, it was more than enough to accomplish this goal. 2 poly synths, 1 mono synth for bass, and a drum machine, plus fx sends. I put it to the test by creating and performing a 1 hour set for a festival gig that year. It was so fun to perform this way. Fugue Machine Rubato was completely up for the task and easily filled the role of master sequencer for a full hardware setup. Not only did it perform very smoothly, but with all of it’s features it was very easy to manipulate sequences in realtime (and then some more, and then some more) and in ways that i had never known were possible. So many parameters to tweak live, and automate! you can really just keep going and going when improvising! Months after that set i wrote new material with FMR and performed the synth parts in a duo project for another live set, giving it yet another test. i really felt locked in with the app at this point. I’m so excited that finally everyone can experience this and I look forward to what people create with it! Let the creativitiy flow!
