Algorithmic Arts makes software emulations of modular analog sequencers and software for creating algorithmic MIDI music and graphics from Fractals, DNA, EEGs, EKGs, and other data.
 |
ArtWonk produces MIDI music and paint graphics based on algorithmic rules you interactively create by connecting modules (graphical objects representing functions and processes) in real time, adjusting the parameters as you go, in an interactive drag & drop environment especially designed to be fast to learn, fast to use. Not a set of canned me-too riffs or rules, but an open ended palette of composing modules to powerfully boost your creativity. | |

Winner of Electronic Musician's 2005 Editor's Choice Award.
"Artwonk...takes computer assisted composition to new heights."
"With more than 200 modules, there's not much in the way of real-time composition that you can't do with this program"
ArtWonk has been reviewed
in the September, 2004 issue of Electronic Musician Magazine.

MusicWonk is essentially the same program as ArtWonk, but without the animation graphics components. The MIDI and general algorithmic functionality of both programs are identical, and file formats are compatible between the two programs. |

SoftStep is a Windows based modular MIDI step sequencer patterned somewhat after the modular analog step sequencers.The big ones, with lots of knobs and blinky lights. |
SoftStep has been reviewed by Electronic Musician Magazine. Read the review here.
The November, 2003 issue of Electronic
Musician has an article on Algorithmic Music software, including SoftStep: "Game of Chance" by Dennis Miller.
AuxPack
|
|
The AuxPack is a package of three auxiliary programs to assist with algorithmic music composing. BioEditor creates Bio Sequence Table (.bst) files from standard DNA and Protein data sequences that are freely available on the Internet. DataBin converts text data files into binary number files that can be imported into our music composing programs. MicroTone creates microtonal tunings that can be used with virtually any synthesizer or sound card by automatically combining MIDI Note and MIDI Pitch Bend. |
 |
Bio2Midi converts the text of a DNA or protein sequence to a MIDI file, which you may immediately audition, or import into any MIDI sequencer for further compositional processing. |
