Scala is a powerful software tool for experimentation with musical tunings, such as just intonation scales, equal and historical temperaments, microtonal and macrotonal scales, and non-Western scales. It supports scale creation, editing, comparison, analysis, storage, tuning of electronic instruments, and MIDI file generation and tuning conversion. ArtWonk is a MIDI and graphics program that produces MIDI music and animation based on algorithmic processes in real time. You compose by connecting "modules" - graphical objects that represent functions and processes - adjusting the parameters as you go.
SoftStep
is a Windows based modular MIDI step sequencer patterned somewhat after
the modular analog step sequencers.The big ones, with lots of knobs and
blinky lights. But SoftStep goes far beyond its step sequencer roots,
to give you algorithmic composing tools of all kinds, including
fractal, chaos, probability, and numerical based algorithms of
virtually unlimited flexibility. MusiNum is a free sonification program which turns numbers into generative fractal music. Everybody can create unique royalty free music for his homepage within few minutes. Interesting for mathematicans and other people who like to play. Fractal concepts, self-similarity and a new kind of symmetry are audible now!
Fractal
Vibes Multitudes
of parameters are at the composer's fingertips,basic instrument
parameters such as pitch, pan, patch,octave, volume and key. Settings
control the type of
algorythm used for an instrument, define note
patterns,calculate the fractal, and control the Cellular Automata
engiine. Entire sections can be created and linked together recursively
to build quite complex compositions.Microtuner is yet another revolutionary plugin: It adds microtuning capabilities to every VSTi and external synthesizer module,as long as the target synth supports receiving pitchbend on all MIDI channels.I am not talking about changing a note some cents up or down in pitch, no, you can completely redefine the whole tuning scale,allowing you to set an arbitrary frequency separately for each MIDI note! And it gets even better, it already has a loader built in (with drag and drop GUI) that can load the widely used Scala, VAZ and Anamark tuning files directly! |
