Thanks @Audiogus pressing start in fugue helped to get it to sync to loopy.
sweet! 8)
Hello Mister Toz. Can't do Wed, but hoping/wangling for Thurs. Somewhat subject to Missus getting back from Denver (dull long story). If not, then happy to report next week is more open than every goal I ever missed....will report back.
Anyone have a suggestion on a cheaper tool than Cubasis that will record midi from Fugue? Scalegen?
pro midi is my go-to record midi from other apps
@pierre thanks for that. I just remembered I had Genome installed and it should be able to record midi from Fugue Machine, haven't been able to suss out the settings yet though. Anyone used these two together yet?
FloAttaQ?

What an app!
One thing i'd like to see is grid resolutions other than 16 beats, or at least 32 to have a few more steps to play with could create some incredibly complex sequences with the different timing divisions.
Once again... all of your incredible feedback is blowing my mind! Ahhhhh. Ok. I'm gonna respond to some now, but I'll be back hopefully later tonight, otherwise tomorrow for sure. Lot's of goodies in here. It's cray. Ok... Here we go...
@Carnbot
Using your fingers to somehow control the playheads… I really like this idea too. I’ll definitely be considering this idea in the future, but will have to figure out a way it work well… A fun challenge though :]
@dwarman, damn yo! You’ve got some solid and deep requests! Love it. We may have to Skype sometime! Ok, attempts to answer all your points incoming…
Yes, I’ll definitely be restructuring the way you save and recall patterns. I’d love to make it easy to share them too. So you can email yourself your favorite pattern every time you want to be extra careful :]
Yess, i was thinking this too.
How would hold work? And by octave travesal, I love this idea too. And have a nice solution for eventually coming :]
An option to wait until pattern ends… yes! this is great. thanks
Hmmmm, program channel could have it’s own source port… let me think about this. And each head should have its own pattern? What do you mean?
Each Playhead sending its own program change? Are you suggesting that the playhead’s parameters can be saved and recalled independent of an entire patch? If so, yes, I think this is great. Especially when in the future the Playhead parameters will get much more complex :]
Yes, solution to #1 should satisfy this.
Integrating cc’s and pitchbend… Secret solution from #3 should also satisfy this. Maybe not at first, but eventually for sure.
Yesss, cc control of all parameters is coming! and I’m super excited about it.
Haha, you mean a factory patch instead of init that will calm you down from diving to deep? I like this. lol. And ha! A chapter from Gödel Escher Bach! That’s a fucking brilliant idea! One of my favorite books, and I’m sure a huge inspiration of this project. yessss!
@JohnnyGoodyear: “anyone who can't get Full Joy from this isn't either a) paying attention to the possible beauty or b) is after the kind of music that this won't serve. I probably fall into the latter category, on paper, but even a buffoon like me was seduced.” Hahaha. Screenshoted.
@Kaikoo, this was my initial thought exactly: keep with the concept of recursion. Although I’m starting to see the other side: why not break rules if you can. Will certainly be looking into this though. Glad I’m not alone in my thinking!
Sorry if this is pointing out the obvious, but if you set 2 (or more) bars and set the tempo faster or use x2 as your "default" speed, haven't you effectuvely already got this?
I think it would be nice to have the ability to set different heads to only play on specific bars. For instance head 1 and 2 set to play bar 1, and head 3 and 4 on bar 2, etc.
@Alexandernaut - #5, no did not mean each head has its own pattern That would be a differet beastie.
PC head - when sending to another synth, its sound is really defined by its MIDI channel and patch number. By dictat, MIDI parameters are not saved as Audiobus state. So put them in the MIDI source patch is the only way. But it needs to have an Off setting.
Otherwise, thanks!

@audiblevideo Interesting thread thanks, that actually gave me some ideas for looping. I think I'm going to stick with just Fugue and wait for the multi-midi to happen rather than spending on more apps for functions that I'm sure Alexander will add. That is if I don't figure out Genome with it first, ahmm paging Matt Fletcher, have you got these playing well together? Love this app
Omg! This app is making me so wet. I haven't had this much fun since samplr. I love you!
Well there's a quote for the testimonials page..
Yep, kind of. Here's a track I made using both Genome and Fugue machine to drive all the synths (Animoog, iSem and Alchemy)
However, I didn't bother trying to get Genome and Fugue to sync (I'm sure they would) or record midi from Fugue into Genome playhead by play head (which I'm sure would also be possible).
Instead I simply recorded various passes of audio into MultiTrack DAW: Animoog driven by switching between different looping Genome clips (while messing with the parameters in Animoog) plus Patterning being controlled by Audiobus remote on my iPhone (amazing!). Then a second pass which was just 2 play heads of Fugue driving both iSem (plucky patch) and Alchemy (a pad) and recorded each of these synths on a separate track on MTD. Then to be honest I cropped out a lot of the Fugue stuff because it was quite repetitive, but by just leaving in little phrases here and there, sometimes of iSem, sometimes Alchemy, sometimes both, sometimes the 'fast' playhead, sometimes the slower one - I think it works well to add some nice bits of melody that kind of echo each other.
Having more presets or using snapshots would be nice so you can keep lots of different versions of an idea for when you tweak things just a little too much and want to get back to an earlier version. Undo too maybe?
I'd like to be able to set the number of beats in each bar. The only way you can get odd time groupings is to move the loop brace to limit the number of steps but the 4x4 grid onscreen doesn't adjust it stays the same. This isn't the same as having different time signatures. It would be nice to get a 5 x 4 grid for each bar in 5/4 and a 7 x 4 grid in 7/4 etc. this way the different time divisions you tweak for each play head will stay related to the time signature. If there's already a way to do this please enlighten me.
lol
The direction this is heading in reminds me of my favorite MIDI vst of all time Nova3 generative sequencer:

Glad to see you're excited to take fugue further Alexander.
I would like to see a tempo curve where it accelerates / decelerates to / from end / beginning. Spline based tempo curves! The next big thing!

Love it
So I took the 'start' preset @Alexandernaut built in and ran with it; making some alterations and transcribing it to my Analog Four.
@dumbledog I like the sounds and the way this builds!
I'll have to try it but i was thinking over 1 bar you'd have the extra steps to add a few more notes at slower tempos and would be good for monophonic basslines and leads with all four playheads playing where you don't want notes to overlap.
Epic buildup dumbledog, pooch looks a bit crazy though.
@Matt_Fletcher_2000 cheers, you've done some nice weaving of sounds with them all. I'll probably try my best to keep my ipad as a single sound source going into a daw, I just love to over-complicate things with all the ios possibilities though. Admire your persistence with it.
I'm sure most everyone has realized this already, but I just noticed after selecting midi notes there's a nice three finger gesture in Fugue Machine.
Nice to see this app get some much deserved love on the app store, not the full featured banner, but at least noted by Apple on the main page.
@Alexandernaut Arpeggionome... Fugue Machine... More please!
Having a great time with this app. When sending to a Gadget synth, get no background audio, unLess I switch to Gadget. But going to Animoog (listed as virtual) works like a charm - I can "play" Animoog in Fugue Machine!
check in the main 'settings' of your ipad, you should find the background audio for gadget there
