    Otomata: Fun little music-generator thingy

    in General Discussion

    A free little 'generative sequencer' that is designed in such a way that you can make gradually-evolving sequences of music.

    There's only one scale, so a lot of things tend to sound the same, but all in all, it's a fun program to dick around with for a little bit.

    Each square has 4 possible directions, and when it hits an edge it plays a certain note on a scale. When it collides with another square it changes direction, so thus, set up in a certain way you can have constantly-changing sequences of music. You can post the results you've made, as well.

    Here's some tests I've whipped up, so you can see how things go about:

    How even a really simple pattern can yield impressive melodic results

    A guy from another forum made this; it's pretty fun to watch

    No recording feature yet (though that'd be really awesome), and while I've posted this on other forums (with limited success), I thought since we're all music nuts around here, you guys might be able to have some real fun with this.

    Something odd with my FL Studio; No Sound Is Playing [RESOLVED]

    Like, at all. On my VSTs, Soundfonts, or samples.

    Not really sure why.

    I've been tinkering around and haven't really found a reason; the sound works fine off of FL Studio 9, like for say, youtube or music or anything.

    I don't know what I did, mainly because FL was working fine at least two days ago or yesterday.

    There is a little icon in the bottom right corner of my computer telling me about my ASIO4ALL drive or something like that.

    When I click it, it gives a little box like this:

    Has anyone ever encountered something like this before? I never have, and it's really annoying.

    Streets of Rage Remake V5 is out (OHWAIT, taken down)

    It's a shame, really. Fans are what are keeping fantastic concepts and franchises like this alive these days, especially with the amount of work that now-professionally-skilled people have put into what they loved in their childhood. Sega has had their ass handed to them with fan remakes as of late, with this one and that Sonic HD demo from last year. It is one thing to lose face because your fans did what you couldn't, but to destroy potential sales of the originals via Sega Compilation Albums by taking down the project?

    I never understood why companies do that. It is free publicity, and unless Sega intends to offer a deal to the people who made the game in order to sell it pro, they should have left it up.

    I can only assume that Sega is just angry and bitter that time and time again people show how nearly everyone BUT Sega is better at handling Sega's franchises than Sega itself.

    I had a feeling that Sega would be a little too jealous guarding their property.

    This sucks because yeah, this is pretty much as good as fan remakes get, and all that hard work down the drain don't sit well with me.

    The upside I suppose is that now that it's been out for a little while, this has given enough time for several people to upload it to various sites, in effect neutralizing Sega's forced takedown. Already I see this on several forums i go to.

    I'm sorry to hear that the big-wigs clamped down on your awesome project, Gecko et all.

    Anyone inspire you?

    Yeah, pretty much whatever soundtrack from a game that inspires me, well, inspires me.

    For real people, while this doesn't show up in my music a whole lot, I feel I've learned a lot from Gyorgy Ligeti, Steve Reich, John Cage, and Arnold Schoenberg. I don't go around writing minimalist atonalism (well not recently), but they're a big influence on how I approach more "serious" compositions. I use quotes because that's such a bloated term; all the music I make is serious, but you know what I mean.

    In the video-game realm, I'm influenced also by Yoko Shimomura (have been since Super Mario RPG!), the greats like Uematsu and Kondo, with David Wise, a little of Matt Furniss, and on a video-game OST I am working on several songs were inspired by my exposure to Zuntata music, by OGR and Tama-chan. Obviously, I'm not as good as any of those listed, but the VG music I make tends to sound somewhere in that line.

    From OCR, the people who convinced me I wanted to be a part of this site and remix are McVaffe, AmIEvil, MazeDude, blind, Zircon, and even ol' DarkeSword. Though none of the music I make reflects my appreciation for them, they mainly convinced my young teenage self that "Oh man I wanna do this too!!!!"

    Hard to believe that I've been visiting this site since the late 90s early 2000s, making it the longest I've ever periodically visited one site.

    she does look like a drowned corpse

    And while I agree that Dissidia looked fantastic and does the closest thing to making Amano's designs look palatable, stuff like the incredibly ridiculous Warrior of Light design, or the emperor, in 3D, just make it stick out like a sore thumb.
