(Click for a close-up)

Five12 has announced that Version 1.1 of Numerology Level 1 is now available. Numerology 1.1 includes fifteen major new features and several smaller enhancements and fixes. Prominent among the new features are Gate Division for sequencing complex rhythm patterns, a MIDI Learn mode for remote control via MIDI CC, and new modules for processing control signals.

Numerology is a modular MIDI sequencer for Mac OS X that is oriented for live performance and experimentation. It uses sequencing techniques first established by analog sequencers in the 1970's, implemented within a virtual studio environment built from the ground up for improvisation and experimentation. Whether you are a new to music making or an experienced performer, Numerology offers a unique and powerful environment for extending your compositional boundaries.

Numerology Level 1 is written for Mac OS X, version 10.2. A free demo is available for download, as well as demo tracks showing live performance features. The full version can be purchased online for $50.
