New generative music and lyric content engines released - Noatikl and liptikl
United Kingdom, 9th December 2007: Intermorphic ltd., which creates tools for more ideas, has released and made available for download its first two tools, a new generative music engine “noatikl”, and a lyric generator “liptikl”. The tools are available for both Windows and Mac OS X in a range of variants, from standalone to VSTi, AU, DXi and VST plugins.
noatikl
noatikl's primary role is to help musicians come up with new musical ideas, but it can also be used as a free-standing generative music system. It is a generative (MIDI) music engine that creates musical information in the form of MIDI notes, and that can also generate and send MIDI controller information to control settings of favourite synths, FX units and samplers.

about intermorphic
UK based Intermorphic was incorporated at the beginning of 2007 by Pete Cole and Tim Cole (the Coles) who both have a passion for, and long history of, developing our own generative (music) technologies. The Coles were both co-founders of SSEYO Ltd, which was acquired by Tao Group in 2002 where they worked until June 2007, when Tao folded. SSEYO was home to the legendary and BAFTA-winning Koan Generative Music Engine, as used by Brian Eno, and the ideas behind the the BAFTA-winning SSEYO miniMIXA which they later created at Tao. Intermorphic has no affiliation with, or access to, any of the Coles previous creations, which are now owned by a third party. Noatikl and Liptikl have been created from the ground up and are what is known in industry terms as a totally "clean room" products.
