Fugue Machine & Arpeggionome Pro updated
Both Fugue Machine and Arpeggionome Pro had updates today.
From e-mail:
Arpeggionome Pro:
Version 1.3.0 features:
- Ableton Link support! (easily sync to other apps and Link enabled devices)
- A new/optional Matrix Mode (adds dotted note rates to the Performance Matrix)
- Audiobus 3 support (easily route Arp Pro MIDI to control other apps)
- And more
Fugue Machine Version 1.3.0 includes:
- Per-playhead MIDI 'Destinations' (send each playhead to any MIDI destination/channel)
- Synth Enabled Setting (play the built-in synth and send MIDI at the same time)
- Audiobus 3 Support (easily route playheads to other apps)
- Audiobus State Saving Support (finally!)
A modest update for sure, but the ability to now route by MIDI Destinations — as opposed to just MIDI channel as it was previously — was quite a challenge!
Comments
beat me to it!
just got the email too!
FM midi destinations per playhead is awesome!
Could someone please tell me that Arpeggionome Pro is absolutely worth the investment of the time I have yet to put into it after having been flummoxed by its puzzlingness back when I was but a young shaver etc.
Umm, no, not really. I mean, it depends on how you value your time.
For me: yeah. I actually dug it out just the other week when I wanted to play more advanced piano stuff than my own little fingers would allow me to do without a tool, and for that it was really great. I too stared at it for a while before I tested a couple of presets to see "what changed now?" and then quite easily could build my own arpeggio setups. That it now has Link is a great thing I think.
wow --- awesome update to Arpeggionome. 64 bit was certainly hoped for, but LINK plus AB3 plus new features ... brilliant
@JohnnyGoodyear it's worth it (and does not take as much time as it looks) but it is more of a live playing thing, so might not be your cup of tea ...
Great to see this for Arpeggionome Pro.
Hopefully Arpeggionome for iPhone will be updated too (and also to bring it up to 64 bit).
Yes, nice update for both and makes Arp pro much more useful.
I never did work out if you could define your own arp pattern, you can select from various patterns but.....?
Seems like you should be able to zoom in on the keyboard and define your arp pattern
Thanks for the note....will certainly open it up again, blow dust off self and it, and see which way the mop now flops etc.
So exactly how his fugue machine different? You couldn't send each playhead to a different synth?
I would say it depends on how often you reach for an arpeggiator. With it's small footprint, I like to keep it around for the sake of variety.
If you want to have a quick play that should help you determine its usefulness to you, try some of the presets from the pattern library, and keep these 4 things in mind.
Exactly, now the playheads can be sent to different apps/ports.
@ExAsperis99 Fugue machine can now pick the app or midi port as well as the channel. Before it could only send each playhead to a different midi channel.
Thanks. Looks like my lunchtime just got taken care of....
I only like to watch it when in certain states.
I really have found no other use for it.
Edward Heath in the bath: I like looking down on the unemployed.
Excellent video, per usual @gmslayton. You are a prime example of what makes this forum so great.
@gmslayton
Thanks for the video
. Pretty clear. I wasn't sure exactly what had changed regarding midi.
After spending quite a bit of time with it, i came to the conclusion that it's a live instrument. Since i was expecting a normal arpeggiator like StepPolyArp it's not for me so i'd say it depends on your use case
For me the key to getting useful results out of Arpeggionome Pro has been to figure out the best ways to play the interface. IMO, just flailing about on the interface, while perhaps making you sound like Tangerine Dream, Bach and Yngwe Malmstein had a lovechild, doesn't yield very musically useful results. For my tastes, finding the right combination of arp type, number of notes, etc and being very strategic about playing the grid is really important. To my ear, big jumps, or frequent jumps on either the x or y axis don't yield great results. For me, like Samplr, getting useful results out of Arpeggionome has involved learning how to play it like a physical instrument. The amount of functionality packed on the interface is insane.
Yea Link! Thanks @Alexandernaut
But still can't work out how to do the multi touch in the vid....
Maybe watching this live action video will help.
In the first vid it looks as though there's some multi touch going on where you can hold two cells at once and change positions, wondering if there's setting for that as currently it retriggers if you press another touch
Thx mitch for the video
Here's another angle. Are you able to do perform the same action that starts at 0:49?
Played some more with Arp Pro tonight...
*I never noticed the markings on the matrix buttons before. On the x axis there are markers on the octave columns and the markers indicate note value. You can set "matrix mode" so that rows are "halves and triplets" (descending, note values are halved every other row) or "halves, triplets and dotted".
*Saving patterns is a powerful feature. Save a couple of variations on to the pattern buttons, then trigger the pattern buttons rather than pecking around on the matrix.
yes got a better idea of it now, thanks and lots of nice things you can get out of this once you start to play around with it, I think Link helps a lot and so might come out of the drawer a bit more often now.
Yes, and after an excellent but largely atonal lunch, I agree with you. Could for some, but not for me. Which is actually a positive result in its own form. Feels proactive to remove that which will not be of use. And to know why.
Well, somebody’s gotta eat at the Alban Berg cafeteria! Do they serve anything besides serial?
All the Schoenberg you want here, but it has to come in tortillas...
Ha!
Nicely done.
