Hi @Alexandernaut !
I'm sure it's not just me who asks for this and I hope it's not against the initial concept of the app, but I am desiring adding notes to the piano roll which are only seen by certain playheads. They could be coloured notes which are only seen by the same coloured playheads. There could also be special notes which have special characteristics and change colour randomly over time to be seen by other playheads etc, could be an awesome feature and I think add to the compositional aspect of the app
Using this app with an iconnectmidi and logic with alchemy and other Plug ins is so easy. The ""MIDI To" recognizes the iconnectmidi usb3 connection and had these beautiful sounds.
Fugue machine is pretty awesome
Re my last comment got whacked somehow☺️.
Just a great app that works seamlessly with a Mac and midi.
Bought this because everyone was freaking out about how cool it is. I'm a bit frustrated.
HOW do you set up a scale? I just want to use a simple 12-tone chromatic scale. Is there a limit on how many notes you can use? What about non-standard scales?
(Advice for Devs - It is very difficult to change the knob-style values since one has to get their finger out of the way in order to ses.)
I’m seriously overwhelmed by all the support Fugue Machine is receiving… It's amazing. Thank you all so much, and I'm excited to develop this thing further and further :]
Also, if you're interested, I was recently interviewed on XLR8R. Interview covers Fugue Machine's inspiration and challenges, Gray Area (an art/tech community I'm apart of), and the Silicon Valley tech scene. Here's a link: https://www.xlr8r.com/features/2015/10/interview-fugue-machines-alexandernaut/.
Ok ok, now some more responses:
RE: HOW VELOCITY WORKS
@JohnnyGoodyear: I’ll describe the velocity control for you. First, you need to know that each note has its own velocity value. To change it, select the note and use three-finger-pan up and down to change its velocity value.
Next each playhead has it’s own Velocity Map. If the Left Bar is all the way down and the right is all the way up, note velocities are as you expect — mapped from [0-127] to [0-127]. However, if the Left Bar is all the up and the Right Bar is all the way down, note velocities are inverted — mapped from [0-127] to [127-0]. This is useful if you want one playhead to play certain notes loud, and another playhead to play those notes soft.
Check out more information in the Parameter Reference section.
RE: NOTE LABELS / INTERVALS
@SpookyZoo: I’ll definitely look into having a large/bolder font for the note labels, or maybe somewhere else to put that information.
And yes! Showing note labels as intervals is a great idea! Makes more sense actually since key and scale are abstracted away. Thanks for this.
RE: SEPARATE PLAY/STOP BUTTONS
@supdom: The reason for the separate play and stop buttons is so you can retrigger the individual playheads! Try tapping a Playheads Play button musically or super fast, it can be quite compelling. I also opened this up with Audiobus Remote because it really very much fun :]
RE: SCALES
@boberto: More scales and the ability to make your own is coming! Especially important is the chromatic scale if you want to dive into some proper serialism. The reason why this wasn’t included in 1.0 is because there are some interface challenges I need to figure out before I do this. Definitely up there on the list though :]
@Alexandernaut Thanks for following up on all the feedback here. You must be joyously busy at the moment. Interested to read the linked article. Thanks and congrats again!
Thanks!
@SpookyZoo, thank you thank you :]
@JohnnyGoodyear, haha, very nice. McSweeney's Pirate Supply Store is actually 2 blocks from my apartment :] Love that place.
Thank you again for this wonderful app, all the praises are well deserved, this is one of the few ones that makes me really happy to have an iPad !
Everybody that is interested into composition needs it !
More scales (custom?) would be welcome of course, this and the midi channels ...
Ps: I also love arpeggionome
Can't make sense or practical use out of arpeggionome, but like any failed lover I know it's me, not you. Fugue however is a thing that while technically is sometimes beyond the reach of my understanding has quickly slipped into my grasp and pleasantly. Great bit of work.
I can't wait to play with this one. Straight into reason, into a combinator, key split, then hook up some instruments.. Looks amazing from the videos
Why not drive it with Fugue Machine?
Yeah i was thinking the same with Fusor.
Such a fantastic app, can create some amazing progressions and hooks just on a single synth, hooks for days! It's the first app that's made me really happy i own an iPad, this kinda innovation is what i bought i for.
Stoked for midi out and all the other stuff that's coming. Re scales would be great if you could import you own from apps like scalegen.
Haven't read through all 11 pages of the thread, so apologies if this has already been requested...
Exposing the apps parameters to MIDI control-either via MIDI learn or by exposing CCs--would be very cool. I'm especially interested in pitch. Varying the pitch on one of the playheads creates really interesting variations. Using only the GUI you can only control pitch for one play head at a time. But with MIDI control you could control parameters on multiple playheads at a time.
Oh and I just played with the per-note velocity thing today. Brilliant.
Is an iPhone version still in the works? If so, when might we hope to see this in the app store?
Found this old thread
@Alexandernaut
Its over a year ago; how is cc mapping ? ;-)
First, you need to know that each note has its own velocity value. To change it, select the note and use three-finger-pan up and down to change its velocity value.
Great this is wonderfull to know!!!
Seperate playbuttons in the AB-Panel would be nice too.....could find just the master play there.
iPhone version WHERE ARE YOU?
This is where I usually chime in the fact that I would buy this the second it becomes universal, but... I've already bought it, despite not having an iPad anymore...
