I bought the bundle, which is the same price for me as the single app. It’s pricey on iOS, but I’ve spent more on desktop vsts that I barely use. For people into generative melodies, this new version has a lot to offer.
This is the way.
I also think that would be a much much better and fairer strategy, that would mean more people being able to afford this on iOS, and maybe more profit for the dev overall too, though that's speculative.
Hey Gav! Are you preparing for the deep dive on FM Rubato? Because you are the perfect promoter for this kind of app. 😌
This...
No chance, I’m afraid. Under £30 and I’d have bought it straight away, no questions asked - I can see it’s really good, I’m having fun with the demo, and I already have classic, but even the bundle price of £50 puts it mentally into a totally different category of purchase that is far easier to convince myself to say no to.
Yes, it strikes me that until now the Mac OS version of music apps being included has kinda been a value-add that maybe bumps up the overall price up slightly on occasion but is ultimately a bonus. Otherwise there is a separate Mac OS version that's completely independent of the iPad one (we see this when a Mac/PC product is ported to iOS). In the case of Rubato, due to the price it instead feels more like the iPad version is the extra inclusion even though it's probably still the primary version. I dunno, maybe the plan is for the Mac version to become the big thing but Rubato does feel a bit overpriced as a result. It's like Alexander is somehow 'letting down' the market that made Fugue Machine successful. Emotion is a strong pull, even when it comes to capitalism, and Fugue Machine is strongly identified with iPad so anything that detracts from that (ie. the price) doesn't feel great!
The demo version is very generous, however, so I'm conflicted about how much to be hmmmm about the strategy. I do think the app would be more successful at £29.99 and more people would be happy. I also think that lower price is about as much as the market can bear, and that doubling it is going too far in such a short period of time, particularly for something that isn't a DAW. But hey, maybe Alexander is actually a genius and I'm wrong - maybe the price will make more money for him out of the gate, he can earn bank periodically with sale discounts, and he will establish himself as a premium developer on both Mac OS and iOS who can continue to charge a pretty penny for any future apps.
But I do think the massive goodwill that would typically have resulted from the release of such a cool app just isn't there because of the price, and that probably has at least some level of importance going forwards.
me today, let's buy the new Fugue Machine, hopefully it's cheaper for previous owners,
also me today, let's buy Fugue Machine in another time-line
Problem with the Mac-first strategy, is that Rubato isn't the finished article - it doesn't support Mac DAW's. So even with a $49.99 price-tag for the macOS version compared to the planned $80 universal cost, it's still expensive for a standalone-only sequencer.
The whole point of a sequencer is that you can use it in your DAW to sequence existing instruments.
And since even after 8 years of development proper Mac support is not included in the release, I'm not prepared to risk even $49.99 on a potential NS2 audio tracks-style scenario.
£29.99 and I'll buy it for iOS, and take a chance on the proposed Mac support when/if it comes.
This is definitely a reasonable position!
If sponsored, yes for sure
Both of you guys giving very good analyses here imo @oldsynthguy and @Michael_R_Grant
I was able to produce a lot of material from the original Fugue Machine with unique highly "musical" results exceeding what I can achieve with most other apps I own (which is not to say they are bad or are not brilliant in their own ways as well). Truly an app in a class of its own (the old one). Don't like the price of the new app but am going to buy not just for the app (which I'm sure is amazing) but in support of the dev and in the hope that he never quits expanding our IOS musical horizons in unique paths no other devs have trodden (notwithstanding there is superlative creativity around every corner of ios development which we should be very grateful for).
this thing is a midi-time-bender.
unbelievable stable and iam amazed by the sync and thighness.
micro- timing madness
I see that MIDI controller is in the roadmap. I certainly hope that this overcomes on the most frustrating shortcomings of the original app, the ability to shift/transpose the pattern with an incoming note control. I also hope that feature is coming very soon.
Also a nice to have: scale/key locking.
I guess I should communicate with the developer.
It’s already possible to ‘shift/transpose a pattern with an incoming note’ in my little version. Just set ‘MIDI in’ to ‘Transpose’ 😉
Tell me more! Burns internet history
Interesting.
That could explain the high price.

😂 🙃🤪
Can we talk about the app now! Have we gotten the price related chatter out of our systems?? I have 🏦
yep. alot unready unstable stuff gets released 5-10€. how many i got of those.
this one is a professional tool.
Or thigh price

Fugue Robato reminds me of my NDLR (https://conductivelabs.com/ndlr/), but on steroids! I like that in AUM, I can assign each of the eight sequencers in one instance of Rubato to eight synths. I was delighted to hear a wall of synths singing like a choir together 😍 and then added a kick, 4 on the floor sequence from Ruismaker Noir 💪 instant techno 🤖
Does anyone know what these checkboxes on the lower right do? I’ve had a look in the manual and can’t find anything about them
As someone from Yorkshire might say…
You pay 40 dollars WITH concessions to go and see a movie?!
I think they have to do with drum triggers. Something like either sounding a MIDI note versus just a drum trigger.
I could be wrong. I’m still trying to wrap my head around things in this crazy deep sequencer myself.
I recorded a quick demo of FMR set up in Drambo. No crazy time bending just yet.. still trying to get my footing and getting myself acquainted with the multi-MIDI output/channels.
I was going to ask what these did as well, will try the drum triggers although there’s another section for drum triggers in the output ports.
Does anyone know how to turn on Ableton link? The App Store description says it’s supported but I can’t find it.
