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.
What’s New
Fugue Machine 1.5 — iPhone support, AUv3 support, more scales, piano roll gesture improvements, and more.

    So much fun!
    I’ve wanted something like this for years. The ability to pipe the MIDI out to external apps is awesome since the app only has one sound. I just wish there was an audio version. Show more

    Wish all the arrow play buttons were /on off
    See title….great program ; …also wish you could set each note to its own individual velocity and bend

    Simply Brilliant
    Fugue is my first midi sequencer that I use to audition and write music. It plays well with all my synths on the iPad as well as my Waldorf blofeld hardware synth. This is deserted island must have. Show more

    Great app - would be A++ with MIDI control
    By now this is an amazing app that everyone loves. But please consider adding a midi learn function (or at least a midi CC implementation chart) so we can use Midi hardware controllers to control the various parameters. I imagine this is not a trivial update but would make it super playable. Show more

    Unique sequence
    One of the most creative sequences I’ve used. Super powerful and well made. UI is designed for performance. No menu diving and changing of views.

    Amazing tool - have some requests
    This is providing me a lot of wonderful music making during the quarantine lock-down and I am having so much fun sending the note data of the sounds to my synths. My requests for future updates would be for a way to go from pattern A to pattern B in a way that let’s the first pattern complete. So that you you can go from pattern to pattern on your phone without cuts to the flow. It would also be cool if there was a Swing feature available for the rhythm. Lastly it would be cool if you could unlock a single tape-head from the octave changes. Love this app tremendously. I’m trying to use it in a way that I can perform live with a drummer. The human I am quarantined with haha Show more
