Haven't heard from David for a long time.
He was a frequent contributor here.
He enjoyed working with midi.

I hope he in good health.

One generator I wrote in Processing uses Perlin Noise to generate notes and that in itself is something very natural, be it as textures in 3D models or in audio:

Listened to your Surround Piano 1in stereo.
Did not initially like it but it grew on me.
Very nice!

Hehehe
It's all rather old, these days I hardly record anything.
All my generative soundscapes are meant to run in the background, more like birdsong in a forest. I try to nudge them towards something that has a certain ambivalence between natural and artificial...
Semi-organic.
I'm neither interested in total random nor in imitating some specific style, more exploring if something interesting (to me) shows up...
Slightly irritating is actually good IMO

Cheers,

Tom

So the HGSounds website is now under maintenance mode. The security certificate for hgsounds.com expired at the beginning of February 2. I hope things come back up soon.

A free euclidian sequencer from HY was released today. Doesn't look like the emails are being sent out tho...

Note this is an audio VST device (gate). No MIDI out.

Sonic-Lab Cosmosf M31 stochastic midi event processor
I assume it has a midi in and a midi out.
https://www.sonic-lab.com/cosmosfm31/
https://www.kvraudio.com/product/cosmos ... y-soniclab
Just a reminder: €99/$119 - launch sale: %25 off = $90 till 2-15-21
I saw several of the demo videos and did not hear any music that I liked.
All comments are welcome.

I would be interested in the Cosmosf M31 for under $25 if ever released for iOS.
I hope the Windows version is multi-touch capable.

Gotta say the people at Sonic-Lab produce very interesting plugins. The sound however has yet to inspire me. By their looks I suspect their plugins are much more capable.

Edit: My feeling is the M31 is very complex and would take time to produce anything resembling music. Lately I have been preferring smaller simpler midi fx and chaining them together.

Direct from Sonic-Lab:

Cosmosf M31 is multi-touch capable.

It has a midi input and a midi output.
I assume it is a VSTi.

It has no audio input and no audio output.
It does not generate audio internally.

Hey guys, sorry to have been so inactive lately; yup, been ill, but feeling a bit better now, fingers crossed:)

So, here's something on the horizon that seems pretty interesting:

Lately I have been preferring smaller simpler midi fx and chaining them together.

Me, too… Except when I get seduced by something like RapidComposer (now out with a new version!) or OpusModus (several cool new features recently added!) for a while:):)

Glad you are back!
Yep Melodology Pro ArpSeq looks interesting. Any idea on when and how much?

RapidComposer and OpusModus are a bit too complex for me. Since you like these two could you please comment on Cosmosf M31 (look above your post) and Inspire below.

Inspire plugins VST plugins for music composition done in the cloud.
Generate your own chord progressions, melodies and beats inside your DAW.
Requires subscription. Has seven day trial.

The music sounds decent.
At around $7 per month if you can jump in for a month than out for a while and back in again I would consider this deal.

Yeah. I had to drop Tomislav a message. He sent me the link almost immediately.

Portal by Output is fast becoming a fave multifx here ... been demoing the fx morpher Orbitron from JMG Sound this week. Liking it so far ...

…could you please comment on Cosmosf M31 (look above your post) and Inspire below.

Sure, ASAP, they look very interesting. But I've just moved recently and haven't yet located my iLok dongle, so I can't get the M31 demo until I find it. Off to explore Inspire…

[David]

Re: Inspire, so far just watched the two longer YT demos not from the company and was underwhelmed…for my purposes, anyway. I might further explore it as a free MIDI chord generator for RapidComposer, someday soon, and if so, will report here how that went. The melody-gen examples I heard were way too basic for my taste, which is why I love RC...

April-ish, I've heard. No idea on the price but doubt it will be high. Also heard that the current version is quite a bit improved over what's in the video, with many more features.

[WatchTheGuitar]

It looks nicer than BluArp, but both seem to have similar features on the arp side and I’m not fussed about the sequencer as I’ve many dedicated ones that offer more.
