Nodal 1.1 Beta


Generative software application for composing music.
Nodal is a generative software application for composing music that uses a novel method for the notation and playing of MIDI based music.

This method is based around the concept of a user-defined graph. The graph consists of nodes (musical events) and edges (connections between events).

You interactively define the graph, which is then traversed by any number of players who play the musical events as they encounter them on the graph.

The time taken to travel from one node to another is based on the length of the edges that connect the nodes.


Requirements:

  • A MIDI synthesiser to hear the output that Nodal is making. Nodal is compatible with any MIDI synthesiser.


    What's New in This Release:

  • Nodal is now cross-platform, working on both Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows platforms.
  • Nodal files can be freely interchanged between operating systems.
  • A redesigned user interface.
  • New keyboard shortcuts, including the use of the spacebar to start and stop playback.
  • Direct access to internal MIDI synths (Windows version only) so no external MIDI synth software is required.
