Members droolmaster0 Posted October 20, 2007 Members Share Posted October 20, 2007 I absolutely LOVE this thing. Niall turned me on to this.... If you have a Mac, check it out - it's free. The concept is simple, but it goes really deep. Here's the link and their description of it: http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~cema/nodal/ "Nodal is a generative software application for composing music. It uses a novel method for the notation and playing of MIDI based music. This method is based around the concept of a user-defined graph. The graph consists of nodes (musical events) and edges (connections between events). You interactively define the graph, which is then traversed by any number of players who play the musical events as they encounter them on the graph. The time taken to travel from one node to another is based on the length of the edges that connect the nodes." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members malfunkt Posted October 20, 2007 Members Share Posted October 20, 2007 Hey thx for link Droolmaster... do you have any clips of some of the stuff it can make? It sounds like the modern day equivalent to something out of Raymond's Scotts Manhattan Research Labortory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members droolmaster0 Posted October 20, 2007 Author Members Share Posted October 20, 2007 It's really worth going through the tutorial, btw. There is no other documentation, and not everything is intuitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kooki_sf Posted October 20, 2007 Members Share Posted October 20, 2007 i could explain, but its done so well here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force-based_algorithms but in the context of this program, it would let the computer alter the shape of the graph over time. with sCiEnCE111!!!

Members kooki_sf Posted October 20, 2007 Members Share Posted October 20, 2007 hmm.. but with the reactagon your stuck on the grid. with nodal you can turn snapping off, and get totally crazy time signatures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
