Noatikl is a powerful MIDI-based generative music engine that can help you come up with new musical ideas. It can also be used as a generative MIDI event controller allowing you to bring generative variety to sound shaping and FX where your synth, sampler or FX unit allows parameters to be controlled via MIDI controllers. Noatikl has extensive built-in scripting features. Noatikl can also be used as a customisable hyperinstrument!

It is available for both Windows and Mac OS X and comes in a number of different variants so that it can fit it with the way you prefer to use your favourite audio tools!

Noatikl draws on the Zen koan tradition in that there seems no obvious way it generates its ideas, and it is pronounced "noh – tickle". To quote a haiku by Mark Harrop:

Music, recorded,
A meal, frozen.
noatikl: Real,
home, fresh cooking.

Noatikl is created by Pete Cole and Tim Cole, creators of the 2001 BAFTA-award winning SSEYO Koan Interactive Audio Platform, and the 2005 BAFTA-award winning SSEYO miniMIXA.
