ZOA is a creative MIDI sequencer that is both immediate and immense. ZOA uses a custom, musical implementation of John Conway’s Game of Life to generate melody, harmony, and rhythm. Up to four playheads move through an evolving landscape of living cells, playing notes as they go. Each playhead can move in a unique way, with its own pace and rhythmic pattern. Features: - Interact with the Game of Life by touching the grid to toggle cell states - Define your musical palette by configuring the grid settings - Create a complex dance between four independent playheads - Free your hands to explore your synthesizers as ZOA plays them for you - Explore a focused, yet deep set of parameters - Grid Settings - Root note - Octave shift - Scale (see below for available scales) - Octave range - Game of Life Settings - Grid size (8x8 and 16x16) - Auto or manual generation advance - Rate of new generations (in beat time from 16 bars to 32nd T) - Auto or manual grid respawn - Playhead Settings - Four playheads with independent settings - Enable/disable - Rate of play (in beat time from 16 bars to 32nd T) - Length of note (10% to 100%) - Variety of rules for moving through grid (see below for list) - Pitch offset - Unique pattern control for creating rhythms and polymeters - MIDI velocity and channel - Flexible Connectivity - Use in a compatible audio unit host like AUM, or in standalone mode - Control multiple instruments at once with five MIDI outputs - One for all playheads together, and one for each playhead by itself - Set the key and octave shift on the fly with MIDI input - Sync tempo to other devices using Ableton Link or MIDI clock (standalone) - Connect to Bluetooth MIDI devices - Modulate ZOA's parameters in a compatible AUv3 host (audio unit) - Includes macOS app! IMPORTANT: ZOA can be used as a standalone app or as an AUv3 plugin. There are some important differences between the two. The standalone app features a simple, toggleable "Sidekick Synth" so you can quickly experiment with ZOA. Of course, you can also send MIDI from the standalone app. Meanwhile, the ZOA AUv3 plugin does NOT generate sound. Instead, you use it to send MIDI (note messages) to other apps, plugins, or hardware instruments that do the actual sound generation. AUv3 plugins must be used inside a compatible host. Available Scales - Major Pentatonic, Minor Pentatonic, Major, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Minor, Locrian, Blues, Whole Tone, Harmonic Minor, Melodic Minor, Chromatic Available Playhead Rules - Up, Down, UpDown, DownUp, First, Last, Random, Walk, Rise, Fall View manual: https://www.audiosymmetric.com/manuals.html View tutorials: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9Uka-nFom-pgTB-DftgDvA
