I'd like to invite KVR users to test my new DAW i'm developing. Full documentation, and free alphas for Mac, Windows, and Linux are available. It also hosts AU & VST3 plugins currently. It's a bit out there, but would love any feedback people have. The full theory and implementation is in the PDF doc linked on the page.. and please report bugs/comments/puns to the email or discord listed on the page!
Noemi - A non deterministic composition machine.
https://www.tweakbench.com/noemi
With Noemi you can:
- have a euclidian form generator train a markov chain to play your synths.
- modulate just about everything with lfo's envelopes noise and step sequencers.
- have a fibonacci l-system make up chord progressions.
- have every midi clip genetically mutate each time it loops.
- rip random audio from youtube to a sampler via keywords or urls.
- play a single wave or midi file 4 times in various speeds and directions.
- save entire scenes of the entire app and tween them across beat lengths.
- play with all 63,050,394,783,186,944-128 frequencies of full microtuning.
- explore very rare world scales applied to your normal western brained notation.
Happy accidenting!

hmm, so it's limited to 63,050,394,783,186,944-128 frequencies... guess I'll give it a go I suppose...
Nah, looks intriguing will give it a whirl later. Thanks.

I hope I have come up with a relatively fresh concept on how to compose with blocks and non-gridded loops. I know the mixer and output formats are lacking right now.. that'll come in a couple weeks! Hoping to get multitrack export, and ALS export working soon.

Very interesting, I downloaded Mac alpha and will report a couple crashes...
I used your free plugins back in the day and will have to pony up for the revised ones soon.
I looked through the Noemi manual and while it mentions Tracktion engine can record audio, that doesn't seem to be available...
Would you consider that? Especially for a non-deterministic system would be great to have a node that could capture arbitrary numbers of audio channels in real time, and put them in a pool for use in sampler/granulator/slicer nodes, etc.
I got that workflow from AudioMulch, and gravitate to DAWs like REAPER and Ableton Live where it's trivially easy to set up live resampling workflows. Basically just like old-school analog tape where "what you hear is what you get."

If you have .ips crash reports.. please give them to me on the discord so I can debug. This is a very early project.. so I need all the compatibility test help I can get

f**k yeah!!
Im dumb and couldnt see if its a standalone host, VST or both

Noemi 0.7.0 now available:
LiveCode node — text-based generative sequencing with mini-notation engine (TidalCycles-inspired patterns, euclidean rhythms, chord progressions, snippets library)
CLAP plugin hosting — host CLAP format plugins alongside VST3/AU
Envelope follower modulator — modulate parameters from audio amplitude
Audio sidechain modulator — trigger envelopes/gates from audio input
Macro knobs — user-defined knobs mapped to multiple targets with MIDI CC learn
Per-route modulation curves — custom response curves (exp, log, S-curve) per route
Modulation rate multiplication — double/halve modulation speed relative to tempo
Cross-modulation — modulation sources can target other sources' parameters (e.g. LFO rate → another LFO)
MIDI-to-modulation — map incoming MIDI CC/velocity/aftertouch/pitch wheel as modulation sources

Looks interesting, I downloaded 0.90 on Windows 10, but the Audio Settings popup opens only in minimized mode, so it's not editable, I can't set the audio driver.

just used Noemi for about 15 minutes and i like it. this is pretty good.
it even has VST3 and CLAP support which is great.
Noemi will stay in my SSD!
