Fugue Machine : MIDI Sequencer for Positive User Reviews

🤩What a lovely surprise and gift to now have this as AUv3 and Universal. It’s always been among my go-to apps, but had its inherent limitations... this should take care of those. (Doh! I wrote this ages ago but it didn’t send) 🤷🏽‍♂️.Version: 1.5.15

Diatonic Modes OnlyVery creative app but it lacks one important feature. You can't create your own scales outside of the diatonic modes. The app could be very useful for sequencing drum machines but with many drum machines this is not possible because you can't select the right notes..Version: 1.4.0

Fugue RocksBuy this app without hesitation you will enjoy to the core ... 👍👍👍.Version: 1.0

The best sequencer for quick workflowNot a normal sequencer but very innovative and opens up a world of possibilities. I have used it since it came out and has been a part of my live setup for years..Version: 1.4.1

Awesome!I’ve only been playing with this for the last 20 mins or so and I have to say I’m completely blown away! The possibilities are really exciting and I can’t wait to explore further..Version: 1.5.16

GreatNothing quite like this. Very original. You can make some unique sequence. Thanks..Version: 1.5.16

One of the bestAlexander, congratulations on a stunning update to what is easily one of the most creative apps ever to come on to the iOS music scene. Ladies and gentlemen, if you ever reach a creative block, this is the app to turn to. Within seconds you can have the most amazing sequence running, which in turn can be changed into a multitude of variants - ready for live performance or recorded track. Infinitely inspiring, fugue machine continues to amaze and entertain me. It also comes with some really fantastic sequences built in. Get stuck in! If you are undecided....un decide your undecidedness, this is one of the apps you need to have on iOS. Also if you are an Ableton user - this is a no brainier as it was one of the first apps to have Ableton link. This guys ahead of the game. DC.Version: 1.2.0

Brilliantly accessible app for idea generation and fun making musicFugue machine is simultaneously easy to jump into with a genius interface for building melodies and themes, and also flexible with what you can achieve with MIDI output, sample loading, and Ableton Link. As an app developer myself, I appreciate that the creator of Fugue Machine is genuinely dedicated to continuing to make this app amazing. I've recommended this app highly to a number of my professional musician friends and associates, and extend that recommendation to anyone reading this review..Version: 1.4.0

Creative.Really throws you sounds that you never would have thought of. Links to different apps through Abelton and mixing different synths and such is great. Get it..Version: 1.4.0

Love the appReally awesome personality to the music you can make with this. I’m curious if you’ll implement using different kinds of piano or our own sample as the not being played? I see I can do midi for each tape head but I haven’t done that or know how to link it up yet with anything else. Would love to know if that’s in the works or not. Either way it’s a great app!.Version: 1.5.1

Simply amazingJust updating my review as I’m still using this app many years after purchase. So unique, very inspiring and a central part of my iOS music making process. Delighted to see it still gets maintenance updates by the Dev. Very very good. Highly recommended. —————— So good. Really great idea. The ultimate idea generator. An essential part of my iOS music workflow. Thank you for making this brilliant app..Version: 1.5.19

Fugueing BrilliantSome people think that an iPad is a toy, well, they really have not had the pleasure of working with some great apps. An iPad is a serious piece of kit, and it's with thanks to such great devs as Alexandernaut that are really opening up the iPad for serious music production. Fugue Machine is an instant hit, great results, quick and with minimum effort. It's an absolute pleasure to create using this app. Well done Alex..Version: 1.1

Very cool!Lots of interesting sounds can be made..Version: 1.0

Mind-boggling cool 😎I can think of features I would like it to have, but I've so far only scratched the surface of what it can do, so it might already do everything I've imagined my dream music app doing. Wow! 🤯.Version: 1.5.9

Unique, superb, buy it!Fugue Machine is in my top 10 music apps for IOS. Highly innovative, versatile, yet easy to get going with. It occupies a unique position. And it's well supported. So, don't hesitate, you won't be disappointed. Nic.Version: 1.2.0

Amazing AppBought this after watching a demo on the Soundtestroom. Fugue Machine is a seriously inspirational app, turning a simple tune into something much more complex. It's really easy to use and gives excellent results. MIDI it up to your fav synths or other midi apps and create some great music. Buy it and have hours of creative fun..Version: 1.2.0

Resides in my most used folderBrings something new to my music making table and helps when I've run out of ideas. Using just two of the four playheads can get your creative juices flowing. Please don't just take my word for it do your research and see for yourself how much fun you can have with this app!.Version: 1.4.0

Pure Compositional Genius!This is an incredible sequencing app that's very intuitive to use. It's very easy to set up and get the gist of within minutes. Yet, it allows you to create beautifully rich music compositions. Certainly a must-have for anyone interested in composing music on the iPad. Highly recommended!!!.Version: 1.4.0

Great but eats battery in the backgroundThis is a fun and brilliant tool but it’s very badly behaved and eats battery in the background. I went from 90% to 13% overnight as I’d left this in the background on a 2020 iPad Pro. Not recording anything - just sat in the background where it’s meant to do nothing. After using it, you must kill it from the open apps, which is not normal practice for an iOS devices..Version: 1.5.16

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..Version: 1.5.16

BestThis 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..Version: 1.4.0

Amazingly Original SequencerEssential midi sequencer to control your iPad synths. If you make music on an iPad, then buy this app..Version: 1.4.0

Fantastic!Interesting new take on a midi sequencer, must have!.Version: 1.1

Amazing MIDI ControllerI love this app to control both synths and drum machines. I would love it even more if a random note generator were added. If that increased the price it would be worth it..Version: 1.5.19

Worth buying an IOS device for!One of the best sequencers out there, and now works on my iPhone too. I love using this with Moog model 15 for a pocket full of synth that completely outperforms my eurorack setup most of the time..Version: 1.5.1

1.5.11 Update greatly improved! 🤓👍Update: The piano roll works like a dream now. Still nothing on the App Store like Fugue Machine. It’s a lot of fun to play with! —— l saw the latest big app update and loaded it. Still checking it out but things seem a lot better now! Thanks to the developer and also for their response! Many developers won’t do that. Plus 2 stars! 🤓👍 —— Kills creativity with the worst Piano roll editor I’ve ever touched! Terrible! It’s a nightmare! Auuuughhhh!! 🤬 Working with the notes, being physically way too small, and you can’t zoom the piano roll at all, I spend 9/10 of the time ‘fighting’ with the note editor and cleaning up mistakes. Auugh Auugh! It’s an instrument wanna-be. You can’t even position the play head/s! All you can do is start/pause them and start over?! It’s a really cool idea done poorly. Obviously all these 5-Star reviews haven’t really tried using the app because it’s user interface is so restrictive. It’s an exercise in tedium... (Oh, on 1G iPad Pro).Version: 1.5.11

Top drawerFugue Machine is unique. Fugue Machine captivates & inspires. Fugue Machine is a must..Version: 1.4.0

Wow!I can't quite predict how melodies will turn out and that excites me. On its own, this is a great app for a long plane ride, and with Audiobus and Link built in, it's a powerful tool for serious songwriting as well. MIDI out makes it indispensable..Version: 1.1

Wish all the arrow play buttons were /on offSee title….great program ; …also wish you could set each note to its own individual velocity and bend.Version: 1.5.16

Such a great tool.Great user interface, design touches. Bravo. The auv3 implementation is rock solid. My top feature requests are -add automatable features, mainly in AUM i want to control the shift-slider via cc message. - sending a sustain pedal per playhead would be nice too. -being able to assign midi signal (cc or note) to play global playhead and individual playheads. - mute playhead not just stop would be cool too. -undo would be nice - copying selected notes not just the option to delete. If i had to choose my top choices would be automate slider and copy notes. Love the work thanks.Version: 1.5.16

Great music composition appWhat a great compositional tool! Bach would have loved this..Version: 1.4.1

Sooooo gooooood!!!This an amazing and very well done sequencer. Great tool for creating complex or simple yet interesting melodic sequences. The multiple playheads each doing there thing really bring the patterns to life. I'm a score composer for Snap judgment and I use this all the time. I also use it as my main melodic sequencer in my live set sending each play head to separate synths. Highly recommend! Pretty much the reason I got an iPad. It's a game changer!!.Version: 1.5.19

BrilliantClever sequencer with a simple interface.Version: 1.3.0

A most excellent debutFantastic idea and great little app, even my 7 year old daughter got some interesting patterns out of it. It's missing some essential features, like being able to assign different MIDI channels to each voice - which I'm assured the developer is going to add as a top priority and I'll upgrade this review to five stars. It also needs a chromatic scale, even if that makes some of the transpositions or inversions more tricky. MIDI input doesn't appear to work so you can only draw melodies, not play them in. Plenty of great stuff of rite developer to add!.Version: 1.0

Just magicIt's amazing how this app can turn very simple melodies into complex compositions..Version: 1.4.0

Cubasis.Works really well in Cubasis..Version: 1.5.15

IncredibleIf you're at all interested in composing electronic music just buy it. Great support too..Version: 1.4.0

InterestingFun 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..Version: 1.5.16

Arpeggio HeavenSheer madness. Beautiful, unusual and very interesting..Version: 1.5.12

Oh yeahAuv3 finally. Five stars just for that. Well done on the iPhone compatibility too..Version: 1.5.1

A Real OriginalSome real playability with this app. I've tried many different composition apps and this is one of the best. Output the midi to a DAW and the possibilities are multiplied. Like other reviewers the option of multi midi channel output would mean a full five stars. Just Great!!!!!.Version: 1.0

A Must HaveThere's a short list of "must have" iOS music applications, and there's another short list of "one of a kind" music apps, and Fugue Machine is on both. Amazing tool with top tier support by the developer..Version: 1.4.0

Not your everyday run of the mill sequencerThis little beauty is a simple but clever new take on the old piano roll sequencer idea. Having 4 playheads which can all be tuned and timed differently yields wonderful and often unexpected results. Fuss free user interface, audiobus and link integration make this a must have..Version: 1.4.0

A must-have.I have been waiting for a sequencer like this. It's a simple idea that that was probably pretty complex to implement, but Alexander has brought it into existence beautifully. Just a pleasure to use and experience. Wonderful!.Version: 1.4.0

InspiringI only just started using this app but already i'm beginning to feel a renewed passion for composing music. I cannot recommend this app enough!.Version: 1.0

Very fun, creative midi appI love the concept of this app running multiple play heads over the same set of notes, but at different speeds, in different directions. Can make for a very interesting foundation. Now that they've jumped into Audiobus3 as one of the first few apps to exploit the new MIDI system, it really does provide a unique capability..Version: 1.4.0

A must have appCan't remember the last time I felt so compelled to rate an app so quickly. So original yet so strangely familiar and intuitive from the off. Within minutes I had new ideas that I would've never have had with it this unique app. 5 stars..Version: 1.0

Now That’s A Whole Lot Better!I’ve had this app for about a year now and after a bit of initial investigation I decided that Inter App Audio is not for me and so the app got consigned to my “great idea, pity about the execution” file. NOW however with the addition of AUV3 Fugue Machine is exactly what I wanted in the first place. Thank you Mr Developer! As a point of interest, is there any chance you could do something with Arpeggiator Pro - another potentially brilliant app which desperately needs a rework? Thanks again..Version: 1.5.2

Brilliant - any updates for the future?This app is so wonderful - be great to have new randomisation and some kind of arrangement possibilities to upgrade as this would really help for musicians creating evolving ambient music..Version: 1.5.19

Superb Fugal SequencerGreat interface and playability, very well thought out app. Playing and stoping the playheads, transposing with the slider, moving and resizing the brace to play a different section of your sequence - all these features make it possible to perform evolving and changing sequences that become full musical compositions. Brilliant!.Version: 1.2.0

Thanks, Alexander, for making this universal!I had purchased Fugue Maker quite some time ago for iPad, and I’m excited it now supports iPhone for no additional charge. I’m not a power user or avid musician, but I truly enjoy tinkering with this brilliant and powerful musical tool. Thanks again for the update..Version: 1.5.1

Fantastic Composition ToolFugue Machine is a fantastic composition tool. It’s also apparently a great live performance tool, according to some videos I’ve seen, but that’s not how I use it. I mostly play with the built-in synth for a while and then use the four MIDI outputs to control other synths, either on my iPad Pro or externally. There are some things I don’t find ideal about the GUI, but it seems that it’s going to stay as it is. My five star rating is in spite of those shortcomings, because what this tool allows me to do is completely unique among all my tools, AND I can operate it with ease (and I have not encountered bugs). Highly recommended for musicians!.Version: 1.4.1

Amazing, but outdatedAlckemy here. This little device has become a major staple in mobile sound design and idea crafting inside of Drambo. A multi playhead sequencer is almost like having a “bach” button that creates super inspiring progressions and sequences and is highly usable. I’m its current state it’s already awesome, but I do think some updates are in need as I don’t think the app has been patched… ever? I don’t need much, just the ability to set the playback mode to a hz rate, nudge the notes off grid, and some tweaks to copy/paste as it does not work for me outside standalone. On that note, it’s weird you can’t save or pull up presets while using it in plug-in mode, although it will remember the state if you save the entire rack in either drambo or Aum. I wish this app existed in bitwig or as a plug-in for the computer. It’s mad handy 天.Version: 1.5.16

This is just so good that I want to hug the creator to the groundIf you haven't bought it then buy it as it's totally amazing. Hypnotic at times and so inspirational for starting tunes. To the creator. Please create more amazing and inspirational stuff like this as it's just brilliant..Version: 1.0

So good!Just bought. Inspiring app! Solid so far too without any bugs or crashes. Great job by the dev. If could wish for one thing it’d be for transposing to be possible via keyboard. For live changes and also daw sequencing with key changes....Could possibly be released as an IAP feature?.Version: 1.5.12

Dream machineOh boy! So much to admire here. This is a beautifully designed music generator, made with love, and designed to help you create amazing, contrapuntal, mixed-up melodic harmonies that fly in spirals around your mind. It's that good! Dive straight in with the pre-loaded songs to see how things work, then let your creativity flow through the simple, intuitive interface. This app has clearly been made by someone who loves the sheer possibility of combinatorial sounds and has delivered to us the ability to create new soundscapes - the focus here is on ambient and rhythmic exploration, and it is a wonderful thing to behold. The latest update, which allows you to map MIDI out to any compatible app, and brings in Audio Unit functionality, is almost making me go into a frenzy of joy, such are the profound delights that it opens up. Buy this app. You won't regret it!.Version: 1.5.4

As amazing as they say...Perhaps even more so. This is one of the most brilliant pieces of software I have used on any platform. With the recent updates, this app has further blown my mind and become even more fun to use. Improvements to the MIDI - routing of each of the four playheads have also made the app even more user friendly. If you even dabble in ios music making, you need Fugue Machine in your life. If you are a serious iOS music maker you already have this on you iPad and already know the genius of it. Alex - thank you for all the amazing work you've been putting into this app..Version: 1.4.0

Amazing tool - have some requestsThis 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.Version: 1.5.16

5 stars, but...Love the app, but a few things can make it better. 1.) On the preset page, a warning message is needed before erasing the current program! I've lots many projects this way when I was trying to save them. 2.) The ability to import midi patterns would be extremely helpful..Version: 1.4.0

Superb App.One of those app where you can get lost in the music for hours. Super easy to get great sounding results. Enter a few notes into the piano roll and then tweak the settings of the 4 different play heads so that they play at differing tempos, pitches and direction. Soon you’ll be sitting up proud like a modern day Bach with a brand new composition. Its a very cool app. I like to add in notes of a song I have already written and then hear how the app can spin a different outlook on that melody or riff which can then be useful to use elsewhere in the track. All 4 play heads can be assigned to separate midi channels so you can play other iOS Synths with the app. You’ll love it!.Version: 1.4.1

Great AppThis is a great app as a tool or for finding ideas you may not have otherwise considered. The app seems rock solid so far. I'm running it on the iPad Pro 9.7 with Nave, Animoog, MicroTerra, iELECTRIBE, Skram, Lemur and Launchpad. Arpeggionome from this guy is just as good..Version: 1.4.0

Yum!Lovely, easy to use melodic sequencing instrument. A brilliant balance of user input and seemingly 'automatic' accompaniment. difficult to describe, simple to harness!.Version: 1.3.0

ExcellentReally worthwhile, great on its own and brilliant for sending midi out. Great app.Version: 1.4.0

Request: midi importI’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?.Version: 1.5.16

Great app - would be A++ with MIDI controlBy 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..Version: 1.5.16

StunningAll I have to say is that this app is breathtaking. When you get each head hooked up to a different synth and all layering, the sound and composition possibilities are endless. I would also love to see an independent looping for each so to add even more variety. Amazing. I wish I could run multiple instances of this on my ipad. Essential. This along side patterning is phenomenal. Keep it up!.Version: 1.3.0

A wonderful musical tool.It is so incredibly fun to make new music on this application. So far, even with my most careful planning, I am always surprised with a new and spectacular result. You have to try it. A truly ingenious invention..Version: 1.4.0

BeautifulLook at the price. It is worth every penny. After ten minutes your mind will be full of wonderful possibilities..Version: 1.5.16

Superb app, fun and deepWorks flawlessly with IOS apps or external midi and a lot of fun. A quick request please, if the option key could also work from my magic keyboard instead of just the screen button, the select workflow would be hugely improved?.Version: 1.5.16

Much More Than Meets The Eye!Hi Alexander. I wanted to personally thank you for your wonderful invention. I have avoided this type of tool until now because I did not realize that something like FM could be used as an improvising instrument. But I got curious when it was recently on sale... and, wow, what an awesome surprise! As I explored the various parameters (some seemingly benign ones like “Start”) I realized I could do much more than just generate some patterns. The control of pitch, tempo, octave, direction, in and out of playheads all engaged me in a progressive, real-time creative experience that I had never had before. The capability of recording the four individual playheads was a tremendous asset in creating finished mixes, allowing me to orchestrate the real time improvisations as true modern classical or ambient finished tracks. As a jazz improvisor breaking the bounds of my own concepts has always been paramount. FM allowed me to do that in a brand new way. So, thank you so much for making FM! BRAVO!! TOTALLY RECOMMEND THIS AMAZING TOOL!.Version: 1.5.15

So fun and usefulThis continues to be one of the best musical apps I’ve ever purchased. It’s solid and adds a ton of usefulness to the iPad as a musical tool. I find myself using it on the iPhone, too. iPhones can be tricky to play with a midi keyboard since the screen is so much smaller. This brings synths on the iPhone alive. Typical setup for me is using AUM to host Fugue Machine and a few synths. If generative/iterative music interests you, add Fugue + AUM and see where it takes you. If functions like a real pro-level instrument..Version: 1.5.16

Must have!This thing is so good! Only thing I wish it had is the ability to chain patterns together. The problem would be how to sync each players head to move on to the next pattern? Maybe this is why it’s not an option? it’s not possible in our realm 😂 buy it!!!.Version: 1.5.16

ExcellentEasy to make some great sounds. A brilliant idea. Well done.Version: 1.5.16

Now supports Auv3 and other new features!Will make much more use of Fugue Machine from this point on. It was always a very popular music tool amongst iOS musicians but this new update really gives it a new dimension!.Version: 1.5.0

AmazingThis app is sick! Very simple to use and produces incredible results. Big fan!.Version: 1.1

Great appReally having a lot of fun with this. My only issue— the piano roll should show the note names. This would make the app easier to use, especially for those of us with some music theory chops. Correction - there is an option to show the note names in the piano roll..Version: 1.5.16

Fun fun funNow 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..Version: 1.5.1

IncredibleI 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.Version: 1.5.16

Such a unique composing toolAs an amateur pianist coming into composing recently this app is a godsend! Only wishes are: 1) if there’s a way to omit certain parts or notes for different voices while also not cluttering the UI. Now I can do this for two groups of voices by manipulating the velocity values. 2) I think for the knobs it could be easier to use if the typical convention of only relative (up down) movements are used to change the values. It gets tricky sometimes try to turn it to a specific angle. 3) it would be even more awesome if user can put in their custom scales!.Version: 1.5.16

Outstanding!There’s little I could say that hasn’t already been said. This thing inspires creativity and I haven’t got a bad thing to say about it... Would love to see some midi continuous controllers added to the individual play heads for more expression but it’s still great!.Version: 1.4.1

Unique and Brilliant Midi SequencerWorks a dream. Very happy with the app. Continued updates from the developer too..Version: 1.4.0

Deeply inspiring!This sequencer fits comfortably on the train as it does in the studio. I would have given it 5 stars if the playheads could be randomised (new dice roll per step) and if the play heads could be modulated by LFOs / S&H. Still, a wonderful piece of musical inventiveness..Version: 1.5.15

Amazing Fun and a Creative ToolPossibly 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.Version: 1.5.16

Easily a 6 stars out of 5This is a brilliant instrument. Yes it’s a sequencer, but I see it more as a instrument and a composing tool. The only wish I have is the ability to see the notes names somewhere. It’s easy to get lost playing it and hit a less than pleasant combo. That would go away in part if we could see the notes names or the chords/scales someplace in the interface. Another wish would be the ability to play patterns manually, as opposed to having to clutter the screen with not just a menu, but a submenu. Having 4 to 8 buttons to assign patterns to would rock. Literally. Even if it means squeezing the interface a bit. Maybe an overlay? I am already doing this using the submenu, but it occluded the screen for any other work. By the way, I have the most fun with it driving my computer midi over WiFi. There is something magical in holding an iPad in your hands and hear sound out of your speakers. Recording the patterns is pretty easy too and the results rival or better dedicated midi arpeggiators. This is simpler and more versatile. Great job..Version: 1.4.0

Simple and brilliantI love this app. It’s so good for generating ideas you wouldn’t necessarily come up with yourself. Sequencing tracks on the digitone via MIDI has been so fun and easy. Just buy it!.Version: 1.5.16

Get InspiredA 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..Version: 1.4.1

Great inspirationI find so much inspiration in Fugue machine. Can't believe it now supports separate midi channels for each play head. Looking forward to playing that! A nice surprise in my Updates today!.Version: 1.3.0

Easy, funIt's easy to get the hang of and start surprising yourself with great-sounding music. Good integration with Audiobus. Tremendous fun..Version: 1.0

WonderfulSo simple yet so satisfying. Plus plays wonderfully with my hardware modular synths via midi. I have only had my iPad 3 days and finding this app was the moment when I stopped being frustrated by os midi and instead got lost for hours in music making. Also enjoying Alexander’s other apps. I hope he keeps coding! Thank you..Version: 1.5.16

One of the best music apps on IOSExtremely intuitive and creative, buy it..Version: 1.4.0

Excellent DeveloperI love this app. It is fun and inventive. The new update adds greater functionality and smoother performance. Having read the update notes where the developer admitted to spending two months of full-time work writing the cleanest code possible based upon the urging of his conscience, I now love the developer..Version: 1.2.0

Please enable linear knobsIt’s very nice now with AUv3 for sure, but it’s fiddly to use the knobs because they want to be rotary....Version: 1.5.16

KaboomThat’s the sound of my mind being blown. Just purchased this about 10 minutes ago and doing nothing but playing the preset patterns, my brain is melted. Unbelievably simple on one hand, but so complex in terms of results. You see this basic little pattern on screen and think “There is no WAY that is making this music.” Then you just play one head at a time and break it down to the elements and well whaddya know, it was! So flippin’ cool. Can’t wait to explore this more. Wow..Version: 1.5.15

Recursive sonic excursionsSo much fun getting beautiful but complex and layered patterns. Bach would have burned his clavichord to get hold of this..Version: 1.2.0

Absolutely exactly what I have been looking forIt works with my hardware perfectly. It allows me to work with midi in a multi channel or stacked fashion like a standard daisy chain in a manner I Can actually perceive ! It’s seamless with iOS daws and apps ! Damm fine sequencer app! Simple to use and elegant . I have just purchased this and have already been blown away! Wow! Peace Christo👽🎶🐕🛸☮️👏.Version: 1.5.16

Excellent compositional tool.This is a fantastic app for adding complexity of rhythm and melody to a piano roll. One thing would be great for a future update, the ability to set both the start and end point in the sequence for each play head rather than just the start..Version: 1.5.16

Insanely Amazing!!!I never give 5 stars, so that means that this machine is the t!ts. You wont be disapointed :[.Version: 1.2.0

Buy it, play with itSimple in execution and concept, it gets amazing results in no time at all..Version: 1.2.0

What’s not to likeGreat app. Does exactly what it says..Version: 1.4.1

It was such a good app before... Now indispensableI loved this app and had it since launch, but it wasn’t very practical for my uses before having to go through AB. Then the update dropped. Been working flawlessly in AUM and now become a regular in my arsenal of great iOS music making apps. Thumbs up 👍.Version: 1.5.3

BestBest sequencer out there on the iPad.Version: 1.3.0

Instantly brilliantThis app is a classy piece of music creation fun. Out of the box it's intuitive and very addictive. It's easy to get some great results, especially when combined with other synths via midi. One of those apps we iOS music noodlers wait ages for to show off the possibilities of iOS. Great stuff..Version: 1.0

Update SeasonI 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. 🎹 🎧.Version: 1.5.6

Great appFantastic app - lots of variations from it..Version: 1.4.0

Genuinely essentialIn an overcrowded/samey music app market place I find this unique app one I keep coming to for ideas. Works well on my old iPad 2 - I use this to put my hardware synths through their paces. Great work Alexander,.Version: 1.2.0

Gets better with every updateThis was a great app, now with separate MIDI channels per play head it's brilliant! I've used it with 4 different iOS instruments to great effect and the possibilities when driving Ableton Live are only limited by your imagination. Just buy it, you won't be disappointed..Version: 1.2.0

Such a good ideaWhat I love: making things I might not have thought of, guiding it in a way that isn’t arbitrary and doesn’t have to have the blandness that other “inspiration tools” might have. What I want: exporting MIDI files. I like to make things on the phone and then open them in my DAW (which is not Ableton) and it seems like a no-brainer to include this option. Also, more sounds. Not a whole synth necessarily, but some more options. And most importantly: when a playhead is going in reverse it acts like a tape playhead would and triggers the note at its note-off. I would find it more useful musically if I at least had the option of it triggering the note at its note-on position on the timeline when playing in reverse. (When I superimposed a 16th note figure in reverse over a quarter note figure, since the original notes were all 16th in length, the reverse sequence sounded early. Could I get it to do something different by changing note lengths? Yes, but I liked the original notes as they were..Version: 1.5.7

This app is amazing!I can’t stop using it. I wake up with it and go to sleep with it. Single change can create a difference in the music,. Thank you for building this !!!.Version: 1.5.16

AKAAKA AWESOME MACHINE.Version: 1.1

Might be me!Two things stop this app getting 5 stars, one is the ability to record without having to use an external source and the other is the fact that the notes don't play a sound as you enter them to the roll. That would make composition so much easier. As I say I might be getting it wrong but I have tried fiddling with the settings and no joy..Version: 1.1

Great!Simple yet beautiful concept. Joy to use..Version: 1.4.0

Fugue machine rocksGreat app with so many musical possibilities and great sound.Version: 1.4.0

Brilliant and refreshing!It's a really fresh and new way to create music. I think it offers more than just a new way to create music...but a really neat study tool as well. With it, we can test note patterns and learn what combinations work well that we may not have considered otherwise. Not only that, but I think just by playing around with it randomly, it can spark new and fun ideas for songs..Version: 1.4.0

Unique midi driverA lot of fun to play with now that each head can be used in separate midi flows with Audiobus 3..Version: 1.4.0

Hard work appreciated!One of the nicest music apps on iOS imo. Great job and happy to support this developer for sure. Thank you.Version: 1.2.0

Amazing Midi SequencerI've mostly used this for creating ambient music, as the four play heads really can create evolving soundscapes. The addition of changing loop zones on the fly is amazing, and it is so easy and fluid to change notes in the piano role. Amazing app! Check out his other apps Arrpegionome and Pro if you haven't..Version: 1.4.0

Excellent. My single most used music creation toolI can't say enough good things about fugue machine. I find it to be an incredible scratch pad, and look to it for inspiration when I'm running dry. I have absolutely nothing bad to say, and only one request - that midi export be implemented at some point..Version: 1.4.0

InspiringAnd mesmerising..Version: 1.5.2

Thanks for the UpdateNot having used Fugue Machine since the update, but I can see there's even more stability and composing tools. I appreciate the extent which your app engages me in one of my favorite pass times. (Still trying my hand at a working definition of 'recursive').Version: 1.5.14

Everyone should have thisOne of the best iOS music apps. I would love to see some features to make it more playable. Specifically more control over pattern transposition to specific chords, and a song mode to link patterns. That would make it a complete song-sequencing tool. But as it is now - honestly great..Version: 1.4.0

Stunning.Brilliant app with great midi implementation. Looking forward to future updates that expand and explore the midi side of things..Version: 1.0

Bach Master:)I have used this app since its inception. The level of creativity and fun derived from this app is infinitely greater than the price tag. I have used this for Ableton productions, triggering analog gear and getting me out of compositional ruts. The only thing more exceptional than the product is the developer himself. He has personally emailed me several times with thorough answers to help me route the app to the external world..Version: 1.5.8

Inspiration at its bestI mainly use this app to control the various synth apps I have and it is not only easy to use, but very inspiring, especially when your having a hard time getting the ideas out!! This is an awesome app to have in your arsenal!.Version: 1.4.0

Insanely easy and effective💗Thank you for creating this application. It has opened my eyes to the portability of making music on the fly. I am learning so much each time I sit in front of it. looking forward to any app you choose to focus your energy..Version: 1.5.15

BrilliantOne of the easiest and funnest music apps out there!.Version: 1.1

Well doneNicely done app. Clean interface. Works well. Original. Easy to get original song structures. One of my favourite apps..Version: 1.2.0

Easy and complexElegant simplicity makes Fugue Machine easy to use immediately but it’s makes refined complexity possible. You can dive as deep as you want. At its deepest level it’s a kind of Sudoku puzzle maker for the composer in us..Version: 1.5.2

Unique and funThis really is a unique app, and uses classic variations techniques to create new melodies. Well worth the money..Version: 1.3.0

What a creative blessing!Short and simple..these folks at RUIR have created a sequencer which is as close to AI in music as I have seen. It brilliant! It will play tight or loose but the real strength is how it manages to make the separate voices work together to bring about truly special bars. Great job guy!.Version: 1.5.16

Multiply my stars by 10This app is amazing. If you're just getting started with music you'll be amazed at the results you'll get just by tweaking and playing around. Happy accidents abound and often turn into the most beautiful sounds. If you're an experienced musician, this app is deep enough that it will have you thinking about your compositions in a totally different way. Change the tempo or key, remove or add a note and all of a sudden things start to click. You can easily build amazing loops in the app using the included sound, but the real power comes when using it as a source to drive other iOS synths. I love love love the new updates as well. The app just keeps getting better..Version: 1.4.0

Thanks for adding MIDI channels per playheadNow me wants microtonal Scala/MEP support. Make it so.Version: 1.5.16

Great app but no AUV3 supportVery creative app but in the new iOS world of AuV, it feels slightly left behind. Hence only 4 stars.Version: 1.4.1

Auv3!! Can you believe it!?What a killer app this has always been. Now with these new updates it just keeps getting better and better. If you’re wondering if fugue machine is an investment worth making you are absolutely going to love it forever and ever and they will keep making a cooler and cooler!!.Version: 1.5.0

A lot of funThis is a great app to experiment with especially to export the midi to a DAW and use it to dive soft synths. Thanks for creating it..Version: 1.1

Amazing machine!Highly recommended & essential!.Version: 1.3.0

A really solid satisfying app to use, love itSo easy & instant to create on, for beginners as well as engineers, seamlessly works with Sector, sky is the limit with four piano scroll bars, each of which you can manipulate in so many ways..Version: 1.5.12

Instant FunAnother great app from Alexandernaut. Instant fun and full of aural surprises. Works equally well sequencing hardware as it does any core midi apps. Highly recommended!.Version: 1.2.0

Excellent. But needs midi out.Would be great if I could export the midi for editing..Version: 1.5.16

AwesomePlug this into PolyStepArp and kiss goodbye to a few hours. Seperate MIDI out per head pushes it further over the edge..Version: 1.4.0

A pure delightTitle says it all. And now even better, with super efficient coding under a great UI..Version: 1.2.0

UniqueFeels like it could do with the ability mute individual notes on the piano roll. I can understand why it has rave reviews, initially it feels a bit like a music generator, however, this program is deceptively good now having spent some time using it..Version: 1.2.0

UniqueThis developer has a real knack for making novel and unique midi sequencers-They are great for taking ideas in different direction and fun experimentation. Look forward to his next left of field idea....Version: 1.1

Inspiration machineFugue machine plus Model 15 is a deadly combination!!!.Version: 1.3.0
