synthPond

*new! PureData patch for synthPond is available on the synthPond website. thanks to Chris Randall of Positron Records!*

*coming soon in synthpond 2.5.1, compatibility with OSCulator. Sorry 2.5 isnt workning with it! I don't know very much about osc, but im working on it and a fix should be out soon!*

synthPond is a relaxing spatial sequencer and generative audio toy inspired by the work of Toshio Iwai.

Unlike a normal sequencer where you place notes on a grid and a moving playhead plays them, in synthPond you place nodes in a field (pond).

Because the system is spatial, it's easily graspable and very intuitive, but also very deep. While it's easy for someone with no music knowledge to create a complex melody, synthpond is also suited for advanced musicians who are interested in generative musical composition.

Additionally, the audio generated can be placed in a 3D space, occurring around the listener coming from the relative positions of each node. This also allows for spatial features like orbiting to create a more generative composition.

More information (and a video tutorial) is available at:

synthPond requires headphones, without them you may hear distorted or limited audio.

synthPond was built with mobileFrameworks, an iPhone related c++ library for artists

What's new

- OSC support! Download the MAX/MSP patch at http://apps.stfj.net/synthPond/

- Added a Rest Note (Mute note). It is accessible through the color sentence menu.
(I know this is a little weird but it's an advanced feature anyway, and there wasn't room for it anywhere else)

- Added ability to set the bpm to 0

- Added option to rename save files

- Fixed a bug for which when you set the BPM to any number above 30 it would behave as if you had set the BPM to 60
