Synth Automata is an app designed for making Generative music.
Synth Automata achieves Algorithmic composition via the uses of an interactive Cellular Automata (Conways Game of Life) as a trigger for notes. The user can select what scale the Automata maps to, The generated notes are then passed on to the synthesizer and onboard effects.
It was inspired my a talk given by Brian Eno and Will Wright
