This time with Fugue Machine

in Creations & Collaborations

Experimenting with different sequencers to see how little they can give me.🙂

Last time, Harmony Bloom, this time Fugue Machine.

If you choose to listen you’ll be hearing 2 Outgrowths and one Nerd Synth.

A recent forum post asked what is the most underappreciated synth.

I might nominate Nerd Synth.

Anyway, your comments are always welcome and will be thoroughly scrutinized.

    I thought this one turned out pretty good.

    So I’m bumping it.🙂

    Asking before I listen, is this the new Fugue Machine Rubato, or the OG FM?

  • jwmmakerofmusicjwmmakerofmusic

    Simply gorgeous work! I will also ask what @Edward_Alexander asked - Fugue Machine Rubato, or the original? ❤️

    I used FM mach1.

    Do either or both of you have the Rubato?

    Is it worth an extra $40?

    Will it do my laundry?

    I have Rubato, but I barely used it. It still confuses the hell out of me, lol.

    Yeah see, that’s what I was afraid of. And I don’t think you’re as confused by things like that as I tend to be.🙂

    You're very smart and have figured out things pretty great. :) As far as I go, most times I'm able to figure out apps "kinesthetically". Rubato hurts my brain. I "read the effing manual" as it were, I watched Youtube videos, and I'm still stumped, lol.

    I do love the OG Fugue Machine a lot. That one was pretty simple to figure out for me personally.

    That said, I am glad they reduced the price of Rubato down to $40. Its initial asking price was something crazy like $80 if I recall correctly. Which is fine for a desktop price, but not so much for a niche app in a super niche market (iOS music). 😅

    Then again, despite how clever I may appear, I still haven't managed to figure out Drambo entirely either, so take the above with a grain of salt please. I'm pretty sure you'd eventually be able to figure out Rubato if you bought it. I'm impatient and impulsive and 99% of the times like to produce near immediate results with the various skillsets I've painstakingly built up and practiced over the years.

    Which is ironic given I love producing Ambient, which seems the opposite of "impatient" and "impulsive", lol.

    Back to your above track. What you did with Fugue Machine was stellar. :) Listened to it again, and yeah.

    I have it. I bought it on impulse when it came out.

    I do enjoy using it, but when I do, the piece has to be centered around it. It’s not a sequencer I’ll use with any other midi sequencers, as there’s so much going on.

    And I’ve got to be in the mood for it. I have a special folder in Drambo and AUM just for Rubato projects.

    I really wish he would update it, and add brighter text, or more contrast so I can see/read stuff without straining my eyes. Especially the lower portion of the screen, where all the automation stuff is.

    The up side is, there’s nothing else like it, if you’re into exprimental midi sequencing.

    If I live to be a thousand I will never plumb the depths of Drambo. I bought it, tried to make heads or tails of it and in frustration consigned it to the dustbin.

    I find that often I will learn the minimum about an app that I need to produce satisfactory results and the stop there.

    My philosophy in a nutshell: If at first you don’t succeed, try again.

    Then give up.🙂

    Lol! That's hilarious. 😆

    Anyways, I'm glad I'm not alone in not being able to figure out Drambo. It's a beautiful piece of software though that can do a lot of things, and Drambo's probably easier to figure out than Fugue Machine Rubato. 🫣😅

    Also, have you ever played with Korg Gadget before? Its reverb is substandard for Ambient (though I can somehow make it behave the way I want it to by layering a couple of its ifx reverbs), but it's really an amazing ecosystem Korg has built. Gadget is like being in a studio surrounded by hardware. Easy to pick up and understand.
