hmmm...link offsetting? does that mean I can't get offset timing anymore, or that it's easier to get offset timing consistently now?
*nevermind. nothing to do with what I thought it was to do with.
Fugueing A!
No iPhone... no luck...
I tested the new version with three analogue synths (monos for heads 1 and 2, poly for heads 3 and 4). Everything works. One thing that could be smoother is MIDI output. Assigning channels is easy, but you can only send MIDI to one interface, and my set-up uses three. I worked around this by sending output to Fugue's own MIDI out, then routing that to my three interfaces with a separate app (MidiBridge).
"This version may not seem like a huge update, but it’s actually the result of 2 months of full time work! Long story short, I completely rewrote the sequencer engine… ahhh!
This was necessary for a couple reasons. First, my conscience. I can now sleep better knowing how clean the code is."
There's something very admirable about such an obsession, mainly the quality that results.
Sounds like a great update - I'm off to try it!
Downloaded the update this morning. Love it! loaded Fugue Machine Inside of AUM routing to different channels in bs-16i. Nice! So much additional control and flexibility. Seems much more stable as well.
There is a sync problem with individual heads. It seems that only the master on/off is LINK enabled and synced, but not the four tracks. Is there a setting for that?
They can start "anytime" and don't wait for the tick, which makes it almost impossible to sync at faster speed...have to stop and restart...
I've been doing this the whole beta!
Does it have a swing function?
yeeee :] Thanks for sharing, @aaronpc.
Hey @dokwok2, curious. You're connecting 3 hardware MIDI interfaces to your iPad?! If so, how do you do that?!
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like you're just experiencing the Global Quantization. More specifically, parameter changes only happen at 1/8 notes by default (you can change this in Settings). Also changes happen on touch-up.
For example, while Fugue Machine is running, tap and hold a Play button of one of the playheads. Now, just before you want hear a value change, release your finger from the Play button. The Playhead should retrigger on the next 1/8th note.
Another possibility = if you have dotted or triplet tempo values, it could get confusing to your ear if you have no reference to the actual tempo. So check that as well.
Hope this helps, and please let me know how it goes.
No swing function, but I haven't forgotton
The multi midi thing has my head reeling. Sending out those signals via splitter to multi synths is gonna be nutters!
On my writing desk I have an Akai EIE. It has one MIDI interface built-in and three USB ports. An Xmidi interface is plugged into one port. A Microbrute is plugged into another. Result: my iPad sees three MIDI ports (Akai, Xmidi, Microbrute).
On my other desk I have a powered USB hub. Plugged into that I have a Scarlett 2i4 (with one DIN MIDI port) and an M-Audio Midi 2x2 (with two more).
Hi @Alexandernaut , thanks for your answer. Maybe I explained the thing wrong.
To see what I mean, try this:
(I used b-16 with bass and drums, 2 channels only.)
Create one bar pattern which will have 4x4 resolution. (16 beats per bar)
Make a short bass line in beat 1, four notes
Make a drum pattern something simple that covers 4 beats. (Or another melody, not important)
Set up both play heads identically and play it. (Listen to the relationship of melody and beat and memorise it.)
Both play heads move and play in unison.
Now stop and start one of them. Chances are they are not moving as one play head but two which results in two melodies playing "against" each other (bit early or late 1/16 to 1/4 off but still in time)
If you stop and restart master on/off they will line up correctly, as one.
This is with a global resolution of 1/4, it is much more notable with 1/16, where the beat and melody are completely off.
So it is not out of Global sync and time wise, it is out of sync in relation between melody and rhythm.
It's not a big deal, it was very noticeable with a synced bass and drums loop or two melodies, where it sounds like one of the two "players" is early or late and out of sync
Question:
Fugue has a feature of adjusting the "first" step or start of each sequencer. It works only one time when I set it to step X. Then it starts on step 1 again. ...Why?
Shouldn't it continue to start from the selected step?...Is it a bug?
Thanks for the cool app @Alexandernaut
Any chance of , in the next update, doing something about the pots for Tempo Start Octave and Pitch ?
I find them to be quite jerky and inaccurate, particularly for using live. They seem to be half linear and half circular.and my hand is continually in the way. Up and down arrows or switches would be preferable.
Also colours and larger size for the note values would be great , they are practically unreadable especially for my old eyes....
Like @soundklinik above, I am also wondering how to get the start point of a play head to be constant , not just the first time round.
Ok , thanks, back to the grid...
