FuncBud midi generator AUv3 app by Cem Olcay ($5.99) runs on iPad, iPhone and M1 Macs. This walkthrough is a detailed demo and tutorial of the app, as well as a review of its pros and cons. FuncBud uses math functions to generate midi. Sounds complex but it isn’t really, when you understand it, and you don’t need to be a math whizz to use it to make music. Will it be your cup of tea as a way of generating notes? Watch and decide. Enjoy, and remember to smash the like and write a comment if this video helps you in any way.

You can create math functions with the function builder, then chain and repeat them to create complex sequences. A simple x + 1 function would sequence all the notes in the scale in order. It gets more interesting when you use different formulas and chain them. The sequencer starts from the root note and evaluates the first formula to calculate the new note. Then, it moves to the next formula. If it's a repeating function, it repeats the specified number of times before moving to the next formula. The formula's result is converted to a note in the working key and scale, within the defined minimum and maximum octaves. This new note is then played. Additionally, the result is stored in a history of up to 64 entries for later sum or product calculations The function builder lets you create functions with simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division operations as well as square, square root, sum and product operations. You can also use parentheses to prioritize the calculation order. The newly created function will be saved and accessible in the library across both the standalone app and AUv3 instances. The sequencer picks the notes in the current key and scale, between the minimum and maximum octaves. You also have a root note, the starting note, which are all defined at the top of the UI. You can use BrainBud to change the key and scale as well. The sequencer speed (rate), gate length, gate length variety, velocity, velocity variety and swing parameters are accessible with the sliders at the bottom of the UI. In edit mode, you can change the order of the functions. You can also delete a function in edit mode, or simply by swiping it to the left. Newly created patterns automatically copy the current one, making subtle changes easier. If you prefer a clean slate, you can quickly clear the list with the clear button. The loop detection function is accessible in the settings menu. When enabled, you can define a looping note count. For example, if you set it to 3 and have a sequence of A2, B2, C2, A2, B2, C2 notes, it would detect the loop and increment the 'x' value by 1 to break the loop. Please note that FuncBud is a MIDI app and does not generate sound on its own. It requires an audio app for output. For AUv3 functionality, it needs to be hosted within an app such as AUM, Loopy Pro, Cubasis, Logic Pro, Nanostudio, Drambo, or apeMatrix. iPhone Requires iOS 12.0 or later. iPad Requires iPadOS 12.0 or later. iPod touch Requires iOS 12.0 or later. Mac Requires macOS 11.0 or later and a Mac with Apple M1 chip or later. Apple Vision Requires visionOS 1.0 or later.

Thank you for the amazing video, Gavin 🙏 I'll definitely keep adding new functions to this. I'll consider adding conditional functions, random functions etc. with the updates. I also like the min/max note idea as a performance tool, so will check it out as well. For the factory presets, yeah I can add a few interesting ones with an update soon.

I'm bad at maths, a bit better at music, but I like the idea and appreciate that Cem is so open to suggestions. ❤

Looks intriguing! One can never have too many sequencers...

Just became a member of your Patreon. Thanks for sharing such thoughtful and helpful methods for all my favorite apps.

Add me to the mad maths movement!

Yaaay 🎉

Nunca falta midiGATES

Midigates saves the day… once again.

..Definitely needs more math functions....and some presets would be nice...
