A music sequencer reimagined with multiple playheads.

Fugue Machine is a tool inspired by composition techniques used in Baroque music and Serialism — e.g. Bach’s canons and fugues, and Schoenberg’s twelve-tone technique. The idea was to design a tool to manipulate a melody’s speed, direction, and pitch, as well as play multiple variations of the melody simultaneously.
As it turned out, the best implementation for this was to reimagine one of the most fundamental building blocks of all music sequencers: the piano roll.
Fugue Machine is the world’s first multi-playhead piano roll. Create a music sequence and play it back with up to four playheads at once — each at various speeds, directions, pitches, and more. Watch the playheads dance, and hear the complex patterns that emerge.
It’s mesmerizing.
Fugue Machine supports iPhone, iPad, MIDI, AUv3 MIDI, Ableton Link, Audiobus, Audiobus 3 MIDI, and Inter-App Audio. Thanks to the AUv3 standard, you can run multiple instances of Fugue Machine on the same device when hosted in an AUv3 MIDI host app — like Logic Pro, AUM, and Audiobus.

飽きない、美しい わあ、美しい。最初に感じてはまる
Multiple BPMs Is it possible to set a independent BPM to each playhead?
For example Playhead 1 = 41bpm Playhead 2 = 89bpm Playhead 3 = 127bpm Playhead 4 = 163bpm
Now each tempo is relative to master bpm. I'd like to set multiple absolute tempos to each playhead, for making a experimental rhythm track based on prime-numbers.
Anyway, I love Fugue Machine. Thank you so much for developing a sequencer with multiple playheads. This idea should be more popular. ありがとう!
