Post Description

Design, develop and even share your own fascinating generative music soundscapes with Noatikl (pronounced "noh – tickle"), a powerful MIDI music creativity application for both Desktop and Mobile.

It lets you control a powerful and generative Noatikl (MIDI) Music Engine (NME) which utilises a range of generative / aleatoric / stochastic / algorithmic music techniques and parameters.

For sound design and generation you can use an integrated & advanced modular synth + live FX network called the Partikl Sound Engine (PSE), or use the MIDI data to drive external 3rd party MIDI synths samplers and FX units.

With Noatikl you can:

    Use the many included NME templates to help break composer's block with new melodies & ideas
    Create royalty free generative music / soundscapes: ambient, drone, EDM etc.
    Create royalty free MIDI files.
    Drive & generatively change 3rd party MIDI synth, FX & sampler settings**
    Use the integrated PSE to design & play modular synth sounds + live FX
    Use the sounds in the 2 included DLS files (General MIDI / GenMix1 DLS) or use your own
    Use the sounds in the 6 included Soundfont (SF2)* files or use your own SF2*
    Create / share / edit Noatikl pieces on Mobile and Desktop
    Create pieces for mixing together in Noatikl's brother, Mixtikl
    Play SKD files you may have made in SSEYO Koan (precursor to Noatikl)
    Build your own hyper-instrument (Desktop version only)
    Get creative with scripting (Desktop version only)
    Join the active Noatikl user community!
    ... evenlearn to "cook" :)

Key Noatikl parameters

    Voice types: Ambient, Rhythmic, Repeat, Follows, Fixed Pattern - used to generate MIDI notes
    Rules: Scale, Harmony, Rhythm, Next Note, Listening – used to constrain and filter the notes composed
    Chords: Many parameters for controlling chording and arpeggiation
    Controllers & Micro controllers: Many parameters for controlling MIDI
    Note to MIDI CC Mapping: Used to emit MIDI controller data instead of MIDI events, useful for controlling synths and other parameters
    Many, many more ...

For in depth information concerning Noatikl's range of parameters and MIDI Note & Controller generation see the NME Guide. For information concerning modular synth sound generation & FX see the PSE Guide.

Why Generative Music?

Generative Music is "endless music created bya system". People want to explore it for a whole host of reasons - from wanting to break creative block to an urge to try something different; from pure musical curiosity to wanting to create endless music with a system; from reading about it to - well, you will have your own reasons!

Just as in learning any instrument, to fashion the best music requires patience, experimentation and the honing of skills. As you master it you will find Noatikl, the evolution of SSEYO Koan, opens up rich new musical seams ready for your creative attention.

P.S. Noatikl is the evolution of the legendary SSEYO Koan Generative Music System.

nJoy!
