Cellular automata music on Novation Launchpad
YouTube via hotchk155
"I wondered what it would sound like if I tried to turn "Conways game of life" into music. With help from wikipedia I found several of these cellular automata algorithms and coded some of them to use the launchpad as a display and input to toggle cells as the program ran. The buttons on the right select between different algorithms. The bottom row of buttons is mapped across a major scale and the scale is also moved by the program in a kind of 12-bar progression. The output is MIDI piped into Reason via midi yoke. See my other clips for midi source code...
Its interesting how these rules come up with intricate semi-random repeating patterns which map well to music.. worth more playing i think"
