Features & Capabilities

Fugue Machine Classic reimagines sequencing by offering a multi-playhead piano roll. Inspired by Baroque canons and twelve-tone techniques, it lets you sculpt melodies by adjusting speed, direction, and pitch, while weaving several variations of a motif.

It supports iPhone and iPad as a MIDI sequencer and AUv3 host, with Ableton Link, Audiobus, and Inter-App Audio. Thanks to AUv3, you can run multiple instances on a single device in compatible hosts (AUM, Logic Pro for iPad, Loopy Pro, Cubasis), creating complex, mesmerizing patterns.

This is very very convenient for getting as much as you can out of a simple melody.

Would be substantially better if you could use midi to input notes onto the piano roll. Being required to use the touch screen alone to input notes is tediously unnecessary.
