    My face as I got it going in AUM... Thank you for this @Alexandernaut . Love having it in AU. Haven’t even tried multiple instances yet.

    Also I love Mood.

    WOW. So excited! Fugue Machine is definitely my favorite performance sequencer, it is so well thought out and designed (well maybe the transpose area could have a bit more contrast ; )
    It's truly a joy to play with.

    Thank you @Alexandernaut ! Did not expect this update at all!
    I sent an email last year with a few minor feature requests and at the bottom had two ridiculous, long-shot dream requests: AUv3 and Universal! Can't believe it happened!

    My Number One request is to be able to have alternate start & end positions for each of the playheads!

    You CAN set start position for each head.

    Yeah, bit I was thinking about the 'note range' on the piano roll...
    Play Head 1 steps 1-8, Playhead 2 steps 9-16, Playhead 3 could do 32-40 and so on...

    I've always wanted this feature in the standalone app - however, with multiple instances, isn't this rendered moot?
    Copy the base pattern to other instances and set the range differently in each instance.

    It wants to charge me again. Is this just one of those Appstore glitches we all know and love?

    just click pay, if own previous version it wont charge

    Hey all,

    Super excited about this one 🙌 .

    Here's a link to the App Store:
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/fugue-machine/id1014191410?mt=8

    And a new video:

    Hope you enjoy it and please let me know if you have any questions, concerns, feedback, etc.. And below is the What's New (copied from the app) with all the details.

    All the best,
    Alexander

    VERSION 1.5.0

    /////////////////////////////////
    NEW FEATURES

    • UNIVERSAL!
      Fugue Machine now works on iPhone!

    • AUv3 MIDI!
      Fugue Machine now includes an AUv3 MIDI App Extension! Open your favorite AUv3 MIDI Host and run as many Fugue Machines as you'd like!
      • Requires iOS 11.0 or later.

    • MORE SCALES!
      The Scale parameter now includes Wholetone, Whole Half, Major Blues, Minor Blues, Major Pentatonic, Minor Pentatonic, and Chromatic.

    • PIXEL-PERFECT FOR ALL DEVICES
      Fugue Machine now properly adapts to the size of the view it's in, with pixel-perfect detail for all devices.

    /////////////////////////////////
    USABILITY IMPROVEMENTS

    • A MORE RESPONSIVE PIANO-ROLL
      The Piano Roll now responds significantly better to gestures. Most noticeably with one-finger note-panning, one-finger note-length changes, and one-finger pan-right note creation.

    • COPY/PASTE PATTERNS
      You can now copy/paste Fugue Machine patterns. This works within the standalone app, between the standalone app and AUv3 instances, between AUv3 instances, and between devices.
      To copy/paste in the standalone app:
      Go to More Menu > Patterns, and long-press on any pattern.
      To copy/paste in an AUv3:
      Go to the More Menu, scroll to the bottom, and use the copy/paste buttons.

    • REALTIME NOTE INDICATORS
      When moving notes in the Piano Roll, the Keyboard View and Overview View now show the same notes moving in real time. This is useful while moving notes beyond the visible boundary of the Piano Roll.

    • UPDATED VIEW BRACES
      The View Braces (located in Keyboard View and Overview View) can now have each side moved independently, making it much easier to navigate/zoom the Piano Roll.

    • NO MORE AUTO-SCROLL!
      Until now, when you'd perform a gesture on the Piano Roll and move beyond its boundary, the Piano Roll would automatically scroll in the direction of your fingers. No more! Much more usable now I think. However, if you enjoyed this feature, you can reenable it in Settings.

    /////////////////////////////////
    ABOUT THIS UPDATE

    To be honest, most of this update was unexpected! About a month ago, I decided to venture out on a small FM update to take a break from my main project (a new app I've been working on for over 2.5 years 🙈). My only intention was to update the UI to accommodate the new iPads — more specifically, to handle the Home Indicator and the new aspect-ratio of the 11" iPad.

    Regarding the new aspect-ratio, I realized that the best way to handle it was to completely refactor the UI to handle any aspect-ratio. This was tedious, but eventually led to the idea of supporting iPhone and AUv3, which, after the UI refactor, was surprisingly trivial! The refactor also led to allowing scales of various sizes (making chromatic possible, finally!). Lastly, supporting iPhone meant supporting smaller screens, which inspired most of the usability improvements.

    Regarding the Home Indicator, the best way I found to handle that was to just make it go away completely! And the only way to do that is with Guided Access. Not only does Guided Access remove the Home Indicator, but as you may know (I had no idea!), it also disables all other OS edge gestures, essentially isolating your app from the OS. So no more accidentally swiping the control center or notifications! For me, for the way I use iOS to make music (one app per iPad), this is the absolute ideal configuration.

    Anyway, I hope you enjoy the update, it was a blast to work on :]

    / I'm hoping to post some mini tutorial videos on my new Fugue Machine accounts. If interested...

    Please Note: at the moment, the AU plugin is set to 12.1+! This was an error, it should be iOS 11+. I've fixed the issue and the 1.5.1 update is pending review. Will keep you posted on this.

    there are only two apps I badly badly wanted on iphone

    Fugue machine ( to compose on the go) and Thor

    So excited

    Will be even more amazing when we get full remote control over those playheads and other parameters. In the meantime, is there a way of remote triggering starting of different instances? I've not thought of a workaround yet.

    Would also like to see access to the standalone presets and pattern changing. although this is possible using AU presets so not as essential. :)

  • cuscolimacuscolima

    You can make wonders using several instances of FM playing a drum app like Noise...

  • bleepbleep
    edited March 2019

    Changing the loop brace start/end or the playhead start always resets the playheads to start position on touch-up. This can't be changed, right?

    It would need to change if those parameters were to be exposed externally to knobs and LFOs. Otherwise, turning a knob would continuously reset the playheads.

    @Alexandernaut Again, truly love this app. If I were going to ask for one thing, it might be a Chance of play per play head. If you're familiar with the Random Tool in Ableton Live, I could see this living in the parameters of each playhead. Here's a screenshot of the cool things you could offer to take the app to another level! :)

    . What's the Chance of playing the notes in the Sequence?
    . If a note is played, what choices within the Octave will it play?
    . If a note is played, what range within the overall available Scale will it play that note in?
    . Will it only play in the Positive, or Negative or Both directions of the Octave and Scale?
    . And is it Random within the Chance, or Always the % chance as set by the user?

    Anyhoo...even a Chance of playing the Notes in the sequence would be cool :)

    Thanks for listening ;)

  • MayoMayo

    Better still - someone make a chance app that takes all midi and outputs the chances /probabilities, so it could be used with any IOS app outputting midi.
    FM is killer.
    I really want him to get the "new" app out

    Heheh...Been asking, begging from every vantage point I have :)

  • auxmuxauxmux

    @echoopera Maybe one of our other MIDI geniuses like @blueveek or @midiSequencer could come with Chance as a midi FX. That would be magical. :smiley:

    +1 on the randomization AU filter!

    Quantum does some of this, but I just can't get on with the UI...it doesn't work for me...

    An AU version of midiFILTr would be really great. Check it out:

    There's definitely a market for a suite of randomisation tools just like the Max for Live ones we're lucky enough to get access to in Ableton.

    I think that @brambos's Mosaic is going to be just the ticket for creating randomisation tools. The only reason that they don't exist as yet on iOS is very probably because they have quite a narrow set of users that want them; and on that basis, the time investment for creating such utilities very probably makes them unfeasible from a commercial perspective.

    Very good point! Stop making sense, @jonmoore !

    Hey all, I'm documenting all the requests here and will definitely keep them in mind. Thanks so much for sharing. And damn, listening to these tracks... sounding great.

    / I've just submitted another update, 1.5.2. Spent the day reworking the copy/paste interaction for the standalone app. Instead of a long-press, it's a swipe-right.

    Here's the new interaction in action:
    https://media.giphy.com/media/3Gl8pJXS4lwHFlwpcs/giphy.gif

    Feels much much better now, and doesn't surprise you like the long-press could.

    I'm hoping to add a few more things before going back to main project. Not exactly sure what yet, but will keep you posted 🙌

  • lukesleepwalkerlukesleepwalker

    Thank you @Alexandernaut for stopping by! Exposing AU parameters would be quite lovely, hint, hint. 😉

    Not really a feature request as such as I'm sure this has been asked before but is there any reason that you've never added swing to Fugue Machine or Arpeggionome?

    Does this have the midi channel output (Auv3) update as promised?
    It sure would be nice..

    It was supposed to be! Was working on it and ran into some unexpected complexity. This will be my focus starting now, hopefully won't take too long.
