Work flow #

A few hints about work flow.

Saving your work #

Your work is saved right away. As soon as you fill in a field, it’s stored (in the cloud). You can stop working on a project and come back to it later—even on another device—and pick up where you left off. The downside of this is that you need an internet connection to use Fugalist.

Tab Flipping #

You definitely don’t have to work your way left-to-right through the project tabs. Flipping back and forth works fine: add a few VST sounds, assign them, download an expression map to try it out. Add more VST sounds, assign them, download again and try that out. Repeat until the air vibrates in interesting ways.

Sound Assignment Strategies #

One way to do sound assignment is to pick the most common sound—probably a sustain—and start by assigning it to all combinations in the table. Then override specific exceptions, either by toggling technique filters and using bulk assignment, or by selectively changing individual rows.

Another way is to try to assign sounds exactly right the first time. For this approach, toggling the Defined filter to off is really handy: with this filter off, you never accidentally override previous work because those rows aren’t visible.

Undo #

Unfortunately, Fugalist doesn’t have undo. At least not yet. Sorry.
