NGEN 1.2 Demo #1 - Garage [Sounds Only]


video upload by Spektro Audio

"This is an edited version of one of the NGEN demos originally recorded for the NGEN 1.2 update video: [posted here]

In this demo, we're using NGEN to create a UK Garage-inspired song using multiple NGEN generators and Ableton Live 12.

NGEN is connected via USB to the computer and we've set each instrument track in Live to receive MIDI from a different MIDI Channel coming from NGEN.

The main drums are being sequenced by DrumGen (using the new Garage template) while the other tracks (bass, chord samples, and percussive synth) are sequenced by the ACDGEN and Arper generators. During the performance, we're also switching between previously generated patterns and generating completely new patterns using the Pattern Generation feature.

NGEN is a unique 16-track MIDI sequencer design in São Paulo / Brazil that lets you combine multiple algorithmic / generative generators and MIDI FXs to sequence multiple hardware or software MIDI instruments.

NGEN - New Batch / Hardware Revision / 1.1 Firmware Update


video upload by Spektro Audio

"We have some exciting news to share about NGEN, our Algorithmic MIDI Workstation, including a new batch, a new hardware revision, and the new 1.1 firmware update!

NGEN – Algorithmic MIDI Workstation is a unique 16-track MIDI sequencer created by Spektro Audio that lets you combine 13 different generators and 10 MIDI FXs to create MIDI sequences algorithmically and modify them in real time.

After months in the making, we finally have a new batch of NGEN units along with a new hardware revision. This new revision was designed to let us improve NGEN's availability going forward and it includes improvements such as USB C, internal storage, and improved CV outputs.

Pre-orders for the new batch of NGEN units start on December 15th.
More information about the pre-order is available at https://spektroaudio.com/blog/2023/12...

The new 1.1 firmware update for NGEN is now available and it includes a new framework, new features such as dynamic pattern generation and a new programmable generator called NSL, improvements to the UI, pattern and project management, clocks, and menu navigation, and updates to existing generators such as ACDGEN and Polyform.

NGEN – Algorithmic MIDI Workstation – Overview Video


video upload by Spektro Audio

"NGEN – Algorithmic MIDI Workstation is a unique 16-track MIDI sequencer created by Spektro Audio that lets you combine 12 different algorithmic generators and 10 MIDI FXs to sequence multiple hardware or software MIDI instruments.

It offers a completely new way of creating and performing music by abstracting the composition process. Instead of writing sequences from scratch, NGEN lets you quickly generate a new sequence for your drums, basslines, melodies, and chord progressions with a push of a button.

For more information about NGEN, check out our latest blog post at: https://spektroaudio.com/blog/2023/1/..."



NGEN is a 16-track MIDI sequencer that lets you combine 12 different generators and 10 MIDI FXs to algorithmically generate drum / percussive patterns, basslines, melodies, chord progression, arpeggios, and much more.

Besides our already released generators (ACDGEN and Polyform), NGEN also includes completely new Generators such as Drumgen, Samba, Arper, POP, and MARP and MIDI FXs like Humanizer, Glitch, Chord, and Shaper.

You can use NGEN to generate a MIDI sequence to a single track in your DAW, multiple tracks, multiple hardware MIDI instruments, or anything in between.

It's easy to get started with NGEN but you're always invited to explore and take things deeper.

Combine different generators and MIDI FXs, route tracks internally (to get Polyform to react to ACDGEN, for example), set specific MIDI program changes per track, set generators to auto-variate automatically, save and recall different patterns, change the key and scale of all tracks in real time, save projects to the microSD, or control multiple tracks via the Performance mode.

After releasing the first Spektro Audio hardware product ACDGEN – Hardware Edition, a standalone MIDI sequencer based on our algorithmic MIDI generator ACDGEN, I started working on my next idea: a new hardware platform that could host multiple generators so they could be combined to create and perform an entire song / music idea algorithmically.

So after working for over 3 years on 6 different prototypes, experimenting with different feature sets and hardware layouts, the NGEN is finally ready.
