phasenpunkt has announced the release of Polymerase, a genetic MIDI sequencer for Max for Live users. They say:
Polymerase is more than just a MIDI sequencer—it's a tool for exploration and inspiration. Using genetic algorithms, it transforms MIDI sequencing into an evolving process where rhythmic and melodic patterns adapt and mutate over time. At its core, Polymerase generates reproducible yet pseudo-random sequences, giving you consistency when needed and surprise when desired.
The device offers intuitive controls inspired by genetic principles. Define your sequence's blueprint with random seeds, shape its evolution with parameters like Mutation Rate and Sequence Length, and witness the creative potential of iterative cycles. While inherently repetitive by nature, Polymerase excels at crafting dynamic, evolving loops that serve as the foundation for your compositions.
Designed to integrate seamlessly with other MIDI devices, Polymerase works best when paired with a Scale MIDI device for harmonic output, as it doesn't process scales directly. Its minimalist interface invites you to focus on exploration, pushing the boundaries of algorithmic precision and human creativity.
Price: €10.
