EC2151 Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 http://www.earslap.com/projectslab/otomata 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: http://www.earslap.com/projectslab/otomata?q=6t7q8o2o2x1335 http://www.earslap.com/projectslab/otomata?q=324n5x3u4a5g 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.

Dissidia Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 I was bored and this was actually kind of fun. First attempt: http://earslap.com/projectslab/otomata/?q=0t1u6d3u8g545v525q7a2j7x0n Quote
Moseph Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 It would be really cool to have a plugin like this that generated MIDI notes. GO GO DISTORTION! Quote
DarkeSword Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 Man I'd love a VST MIDI controller of that. Quote
EC2151 Posted April 17, 2011 Author Posted April 17, 2011 GO GO DISTORTION! Man I'd love a VST MIDI controller of that. You're tellin' me. The description says that he might work on something like that, but that would take a lot of time. I can imagine some slick beats coming from this thing. Quote
Dissidia Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 I wouldn't say no to this with midi and different scales, no sir no. Quote

Moseph Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 I wouldn't say no to this with midi and different scales, no sir no. Yeah. Ideally, you'd be able to turn notes on and off to get the scale you wanted, program behaviors and tempos for the blocks, set each block or note to output on a specific channel and at a specific velocity, and so forth. There are so many things that could be done with this. Quote
EC2151 Posted April 17, 2011 Author Posted April 17, 2011 http://earslap.com/projectslab/otomata/?q=0418201d0q1q2q Gollgagh that's pretty groovy what you got right there. And you're all right, because this little application has a lot of potential if someone could realize it. http://earslap.com/projectslab/otomata/?q=5q7n6j7t5v6j707l1g1g34 Quote
Kenogu Labz Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 Hmm, more fun than it first seems. It's cleverly made, in that it often pays off to make patterns that are obviously constructive, then adding something small that'll slowly destabilize the pattern to create more intricate lines. http://www.earslap.com/projectslab/otomata?q=243s6c107m2v5o632h5m6t7o6d302i1s4z4l4k4j VST, anyone?

RDX Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 http://www.earslap.com/projectslab/otomata?q=280g28001v imagine doing a huge collab with this thing Quote
Dissidia Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 I actually did imagine both those things, VST and collab. Quote
EC2151 Posted April 17, 2011 Author Posted April 17, 2011 Visually and musically appealing, : D http://earslap.com/projectslab/otomata/?q=221p6u7184190t7w7k4x7m7o4t5z6t2i1z4g1s1044243k63 http://earslap.com/projectslab/otomata/?q=3h2s7i7u5d6o727513123v201u1y5c6m7z421k4u2k4a6z4n Quote
Arek the Absolute Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 This is quite addicting. Really fun to see how things can change up a minute into listening to something you made. http://earslap.com/projectslab/otomata/?q=0d7b7c2g8048 edit: http://earslap.com/projectslab/otomata/?q=0g7u48228j1b one minor change can make quite an entertaining difference Quote
Brandon Strader Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 http://earslap.com/projectslab/otomata/?q=8k6t34 mine is best Quote

EC2151 Posted April 18, 2011 Author Posted April 18, 2011 Don't listen to Brandon, his is actually bad Quote
Arek the Absolute Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 Messing with oscillators is fun http://earslap.com/projectslab/otomata/?q=7y7y5t5i5i0t2u3o1h624r Quote
EC2151 Posted April 18, 2011 Author Posted April 18, 2011 I wish you could actually place oscillators onto the grid, instead of having them show up by chance. Unless there IS a way and I don't know about it... :/ Quote
Arek the Absolute Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 Mess with how many you have in a line going the same direction. http://earslap.com/projectslab/otomata/?q=5y8y5i for some reason, this comes out with them all not being in the same line, but they were when I made it @_@ Quote
DarkeSword Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 http://www.earslap.com/projectslab/otomata?q=0o6h4h4u The more I play with this the more I want to hook it into FLStudio and mess with my own samples. :\ VST MIDI controller version cannot come soon enough. Quote

OverCoat Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 went for something simple but hey it works, and it keeps changing: http://earslap.com/projectslab/otomata/?q=0q1q2q3q5q4q6q7q8q081828384858786888 Quote
