I think my review of MetaSynth 5 will be out in a few weeks. Watch emusician.com Lots of new features, but you still can't generate a sound in real time by drawing. D.

Hey Jean. The actual strokes don't persist on the "canvas" - you are basically moving a circular cursor around the screen, and the areas of the screen that you move it into trigger various samples using different types of signal processing (pitch sh…

See Leafcutter John's Forrester for a nice gestural input interface - controls a bank of samples (free; Mac/PC). http://leafcutterjohn.com/?page_id=14 exactly what you describe. Excellent tool, especially using a Wacom. I used it for all the audio i…

Dennis Miller replied to mark g's discussion 'Temporal image audio pass through'

I wrote a roundup for electronic musician magazine last year that looked at a bunch of apps that converted image to sound and some that went the other way. The approaches are quite different: http://emusician.com/software/say-with-pictures/ Also. s…

Dennis Miller replied to johndalton's discussion 'Algorithmic Drawing'

Hey John. Could you post some examples of these? I"m not seeing much difference when I switch among different MSG presets using Path Load/MSG Attractor and Path Start with MSG Scan Generator, assuming that is how to implement the concept. Thanks muc…

Dennis Miller replied to johndalton's discussion 'Paint Synthesizer Feature Suggestions'

I'd be equally interested in using MIDI (via OSC if needed) as a continuous controller source - so you would map any CC number to any specific preset parameter. Kenaxis, a commercial granular synthesis app, has a fantastic screen for setting up such…

That would be all you need cause there are a ton of free Reaktor Ensembles for this kind of thing in the NI user library. Probably the same is true for Max/MSP & Pluggo at Cycling '74, and those have free runtime hosts. Also at Cycling '74, you can find M2.6, which is generative (and not free), but only for MIDI as I recall.

Several others come to mind:

AnalogBox from Andy Turner (http://www.andyware.com/) lets you create
"Jambots" and has a lot of examples.

Heizenbox (http://www.kvraudio.com/get/888.html) for loop-based
granular processing.

Kenneth Adams' Musigenesis (http://www.tucows.com/preview/395691).

Musolomo from Airy Andre (http://plasq.com/musolomo).

TimeToy Pro Max/MSP (http://www.lownorth.nl)

Günter Hager's X-Wheel of Fortune (http://www.hgf-synthesizer.de/se/X-
WoF/x-wof3.html)

Hope some of that stuff will work out.
Best.

i have just read your bio, and i wonder if you could advise me?
i am looking for some generative music software. i have tried the 'ixi' software in which you just drop a folder of wav/aiff samples into it and see what it does with them. But there is no parameter control (although that can prove more interesting sometimes!)..Do you know of anything similiar, that just messes with audio.
