Synth Automata - Automata Controlled Synthesizer

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
