Intermorphic has introduced Noatikl 3, the latest version of their iOS generative music system.
Noatikl a 16 track MIDI generating system, with 120+ parameters & many included generative music templates. Sound generation is via the integral Partikl Sound Engine, a stereo sound source comprising a modular synth with Soundfont (SF2)/DLS support + live FX.
Noatikl also supports MIDI out if you want to drive external MIDI synths or samplers.
Here’s what’s new in Noatikl 3:
- New templates that take advantage of the upgraded Partikl Sound Engine 3 (PSE 3) [Note: For older Tiklpaks see: Menu > Settings > Show NT2 Tiklpaks]
- Major PSE 3 enhancements:
- Now supports stereo and more advanced synth & fx networks, allowing richer & more interesting sonic capabilities and complete sound “presets”
- Network Editor and all 17 PSE Sound & FX unit UIs have been significantly reworked for much easier use, control and accessibility
- Greatly improved Wavetable Sound Unit now supports stereo SF2 (SoundFont) samples (up to 24bit), allows modulation of pitch, pan, amp and portamentp parameters + has integrated envelope editor (linear/log) – all useful for sound shaping e.g. nice smooth ambient sounds
- Improved the PSE-included IM SF2 wavetables with extended “IM Synths” and all new “IM NT3-MT7”
- Amp and Pan controls added to several PSE Sound Units allowing more compact synth networks
- Support for AudioBus 2 and Audiobus Remote Trigger and transport control
Here’s a preview of Noatikl in action:
Noatikl is available for US $9.99 in the App Store.
Perhaps, the most important change to Noatikl is its accessibility features. The blind, through Voiceover, can now take full advantage of all Noatikl’s powerful capabilities. Pete and Tim Cole, the developers of the app, reworked it from the ground up to have this accessibility. I hope you guys win the nobel prize!
