Mixtikl 1 User Guide

Welcome to Mixtikl V1, a powerful, easy-to-use and feature-packed music mixer and music creativity application with great support for a range of add-on content. There are versions for Windows, Mac, Windows Mobile and also VST/AU plugins for Desktop sequencers.

Apart from being great fun, Mixtikl V1 gives you the option to create and perform on mobile or desktop. It is also the easiest way to use your mobile device to create your own high quality ringtones, mini-podcast backing tracks, blog mixes, live DJ performance and generate your own musical entertainment.

Mixtikl can combine together many kinds of music content (audio, MIDI, generative music). However, you don’t need to know this – you can just get going right away!

This User Guide covers operation of both Smartphone (SP) and Pocket PC (PPC) versions of Mixtikl, but it also the guide for the Windows and Mac Desktop versions.

Note: Mixtikl includes 2 Intermorphic Tiklpaks. All examples in this User Guide are based on the content within both those Tiklpaks. Further Tiklpaks are or will be readily available. And, you can also make your own Paks! Even better, if you just want to use content locally, maybe just to quickly try it out, you don't first have to make a Pak, you can use files, too!

Use of Mixtikl & Intermorphic Tiklpaks is governed by the relevant Intermorphic End User Licence Agreement. Use of other add-on Paks will also be governed by their licence agreements.
