New in Noatikl 2.0.0.32 (May 17, 2012)

  • It's much easier to use & get results from:
  • Noatikl used to be just a MIDI event generator, but because it now includes a powerful sound engine (try the links above) it really is so much easier to get going and to get results. The large number of included templates means there is always something else to start from when it comes to creating ideas. And, being able to see in the new network display just how all the voices (and sounds and fx) link up makes it much easier to see how things are working.
  • A bigger audience for your work:
  • The inclusion of Partikl has opened up a whole new world for Noatikl as it means your generative music compositions can be truly "sonically" portable and played by anyone who has Noatikl, or Mixtikl Full, Trial or Free. Yes, they can be tweeted as "partikls" so only those in the Noatikl "club" can play them, or as "mixtikls" so that Mixtikl users can play them. You can embed them in emails, too etc. It is not our role to convince you of the fun of sharing, or even why tweeting is so cool, but if you do "get" that kind of thing then this really is a major development for you as it means many, many more people can hear the clever and really beautiful things that you can do with generative music. It gives you access to a bigger audience and a way to reach them.
  • Integrated Partikl multisynth & modular synth/fx network:
  • Built-in support for the the advanced Partikl MIDI, sound & FX multi-synth for sound generation as previously featured in Mixtikl
