intermorphic has released version 1.5 of noatikl, its new "trans-generative music engine", simultaneously establishing a new "fluxer" category for "MIDI controlled generative hyperinstruments". Fluxers are excellent for generating new ideas, or even adding another dimension to live performances.
noatikl v1.5 Key Feature Additions:
- Fast, flexible, easy-to-use scripting system (Lua).
- Response to MIDI input events.
- Incorporation of internally generated structure.
noatikl can now be controlled from within, with (optional) Lua trigger scripts that fire while a noatikl piece is playing: it totally transforms what the tool can now deliver. It is rather like going from a "flat" 2D world to a contoured "3D" world full of interesting undulations and topology.
noatikl can now also be controlled in real-time in response to incoming MIDI controller events. noatikl automatically harmonizes with incoming MIDI note events, and those note events can be used to trigger various responses within noatikl using the scripting engine.
Changes in v1.5.0.4:
- Scripting: Use custom Lua scripts within your noatikl compositions; this allows noatikl to automatically control itself in custom ways while it is playing. This hugely extends the possibilities for the music you can create with noatikl.
- MIDI Input controls: Use MIDI controllers to manipulate noatikl in custom ways in real-time. Turn noatikl into a "hyper instrument" that responds direct to incoming MIDI note data.
- Improved display and edit of multi-line text parameters.
- Store and edit custom text notes for your piece and voices.
- Fixed hanging notes problems.
- Updated splash screen.
