          It's a music generator - I hope you can have fun exploring how best to use this via intuition!

Included are several instruments (more to come in updates), easy to switch between, up to four can play polyphonically at any time. The notes to be played are the little squares generated to be visible inside the big circle, and when the white line hits any of them, they should sound, with pitch depending on the underlaying harmony (editable) and the point on the white line at which the collision occurs. Choose between several melodic scales, or design your own harmonic textures with specified intervals and up to 6 intervals per octave (up to 6-voice harmony). There is control also over the reverb, and a wobbly effect that randomises the pitch tunings to the specified amount. There is control also over the map of squares generated, with three levels of sparsity and three levels of repetitiveness. There is an 'ant mode' feature that will make the square notes slightly shift over time, in random directions (looking a bit like ants). There is a 'Brain mode' feature that will allow the inbuilt AI to control all the other controls, this disables all other features except a mechanism to turn off the 'Brain mode' and the record and export button made available to subscribers. By scrolling on the big circle, the velocity of the course the white line takes changes, altering the speed of the notes being played by the instrument currently selected, the white line can be made to spin clockwise or counterclockwise at the rate set. Likewise for harmony, the speed of the automatic harmony changes can be easily set, with seven harmonies in the progression, each editable by holding down on its numbers for a short time. These harmony progressions also have presets to change them all at the same time.

Feel free to contact me if you encounter some difficulties or have a suggestion. More sound samples to be added soon.

Subscription costs AUD $9.99 and allows easy recording and exporting of what is heard in the app as audio files to use for your good purposes. It's auto-renewable, but you can cancel at any time.
