Was fĆ¼r ein komplexer und aufregend-intuitiv bedienbarer Monster-Sequenzer. š§
Mit seinen vielen einstellbaren VerlƤufen, welche nochmal mit Automationen beeinflusst werden kƶnnen, fliegt man durch Galaxiencluster benachbarter Universen.
Und dann noch fĆ¼r Mac verfĆ¼gbar - ein TrƤumchen.
Etwas klein im unteren MenĆ¼bereich, trotz 13er IPad - hier wĆ¼rde ich mir ein Fenster zum nach oben verschieben oder nen Zoom wĆ¼nschen.
Danke fĆ¼r diese wunderbare Neuauflageā

Needs more scale options, note bending,and better documentation
The lack of scale/modes/tuning is frustrating.
Please PLEASE add more scales ā¦. There should be at least 30 scales and tunings to choose from
In many ways itās a great tool that offers solutions to help create complex rhythmic phrasing / sequencing.
Āæ Is there a way to bend notes ?
Āæ Why is there NOT an easy / simple way to BEND notes?
Bending notes is very VERY important for expression.
Please implement that or explain how to glissando/bend pitches
The manual does not offer much information.
You can only have maximum 128 steps to a sequence !!!
Increasing that would be appreciated.

interesting but unpolished
Iāve been using fugue machine rubato pretty regularly on both iPad and macOS.
The basic premise is interesting but thereās some major UX hurdles encountered pretty quickly.
Thereās many nested menus hidden under multiple modifier buttons. Trying to save a pattern or protect has like 40 ways to easily lose all your work and one multi step process to save it. Ableton Link does not function with Ableton Live, pressing stop just resets the pattern.

interesting but poor usability
Seems like an interesting and promising app but the documentation is still very basic for such a complex app and the UI is quite bad (small text, low contrast, three-finger-tap on small button, how?).
Contacted support over a month ago but no reaction.
I hope for a future update to significantly improve overall usability. Until then, there fortunately are others apps making music with is actually fun.

Response from developer
Apologies for missing your email, it seems to have slipped through the cracks on my end. I've been focused on some other projects recently, but will be getting back to Rubato soon. The manual, text, and contrast will be addressed. Re: 3-finger-tap on a small button, if you're referring to the shift buttons, you can tap down on the shift button and pan your finger anywhere on the screen and it will remained pressed. So you can put one finger down at a time and pan it out of the way for the next finger. This was designed to have parity between the iOS and Mac versions and to have modifiers on a touchscreen without having 4 separate modifier buttons. I find it hilarious that it actually works well, but for the record, 2/3-finger shift operations can mostly be achieved in other ways on a touchscreen
Amazing but..
I want to give this 5 stars, but I canāt do anything with this cool sequence I just did on my phone, thereās no way to render it to audio or midi or inter app audio or load this as an audio unit or anything which makes it worthless.. add any one of those and Iāll change this to a 5 star, but for a 20 something dollar app I expect at least one of those options

Impressive
Had this app, upon ChatGPT recommending the classic one, just a couple of days ago. I didnāt know this monster of a MIDI app existed.
2 days in, with zero knowledge, and Iām already having a blast!

Innovative Sequencer
Iām pretty satisfied with this unique sequencer. Itās one of a kind and will be one of the few sequencers Iāll use out of the 10 I already have. Itās feature packed and the layout is well designed. Alex added lots of his own presets to get things moving but for the price I REALLY wish this app had the ability to import midi files, as I literally have thousands of them. Also, I agree with the other reviewer who is asking for a randomization feature. Iāll give this app 5 stars if these two requests are implemented.

Stellar app let down by lack of MIDI input
A very deep app, capable of totally unique sequences. The glaring omission is the lack of midi keyboard inputting of notes - it REALLY REALLY needs this - itās the only thing holding back the app - I want to connect my Axis49 hexagonal midi controller via USB!
Great progression
I had the demo, but never had enough time to get really deep into this. Since the price dropped, I bought it and Iāve been working with it for hours and hours. Itās quite deep and I had to look into the manual which isnāt quite finished, for more information. I find it quite musical now much more than the first one. If youāve got an Apple Pencil, it makes using this quite a lot better. And as people have been saying, the printing could be much easier if it was white. Anyway I think itās a WOW sequencer and I have got a lot to compare to.

If you dig it, you will love it!
Nice idea, but hard to use
I really like the idea and the output is great. The big problem I have is the UI. The background is black. The text is a darkish gray and very small. Itās very very hard to read. I can make the window larger, but the text stays the same size. Why does the text have to be gray on a black background? This is on my iMac with a 27ā screen. Great idea, but the app is very hard to use. If I could read the text Iād give the app five stars.

Mind bending time bending
Go past the inbuilt sound engine and route some MIDIā¦ fugue machine rubato will take you to new planes!! Itās such a deep and rich system to exploreā¦
Solid and unique
Any video of this software will quickly demonstrate that its output can be captivating. The interface is excellent and feels only a little cramped on iPhone. However, it lacks support for batch operations or other quality of life features which might ease an otherwise tedious and repetitive workflow. Documentation is good but incomplete, and interface elements such as menus can be idiosyncratic; the learning process remains mostly intuitive. MIDI support is robust, and routing works well in Cubasis. The app is overall elegant, flexible and stable.

Doesnāt work as AUv3 in Ableton
Despite saying that it supports AUv3 on Mac it doesnāt work in Ableton as a plugin. Misleading description at best.
Bad beginning
The first thing I wanted to do was: a preset with eight playheads running, to edit one playhead. However, in order to listen to what a single playhead is actually doing you need to disable the other seven playheads one by one (!!), instead of hitting a solo button, which obviously has been forgotten to provide. If you take this basic action further, listen to all the playheads and repeatedly pick one to fine-tune the settings you literally have to do hundreds of clicks or taps for simple editing. Next thing: the fonts are too small with no contrast, partly barely readable.

The solo/mute buttons are in the global module. Tap the globe button in the bottom toolbar to show the global module, then tap the grabber button on the right side of the module to show its second page of parameters. There you'll find solo/mute buttons for the playheads, effects, midi outputs, and drum triggers.
Totally unique
Original and inspiring take on composing, learning curve is real but worth it!
Iād request midi import, and more note names to extend composing power

Logic Pro on ipad is fiddly and the manual and tutorials need more work.

Sequenzer-Monster!!!
Was fĆ¼r ein geniales Sequenzer-Monster!!! Alles, was man sich vorstellen kann (und noch mehr) ist mit diesem genialen Werkzeug mƶglich. FĆ¼r fast jeden Parameter kann man HĆ¼llkurven einzeichnen und phantastische VerlƤufe aus einfachsten Sequenzen bauen.
Trotz seiner KomplexitƤt ist die Fugue Rubato einfach zu bedienen.

Good, but on Mac, only works standalone
A truly great sequencer, but I really thought the point of this app bragging MacOS compatibility was that it would function in DAWs like Ableton Live as an AUV3 but it doesnāt and so can only be run standalone a send notes to a DAW over midi, which is not a good workflow. I hope this gets addressed so I can actually use it.
