RE: Random Music Generator Software Questions

On a PC anyway, any sound card with direct sound drivers in later versions of windows will allow multiple feeds into your card.  as long as your programs use the ds drivers mutliple programs can use the drivers at once and mixing is done by the drivers.  otherwise you need a card with multiclient drivers and they start getting expensive. 

 

as for programs, try out softstep.  its an algorithmic modular midi sequencer, and while not audio per se, it has some amazing features including random generators, fractal generators, bouncing balls.  its eminently tweakable.  coupled with some good homemade sample sets and you have a winning combination, imho.  its at http://algoart.com/.  pc only tho, i think.

 

hope this helps

Subject: Random Music Generator Software Questions

Hi Everybody!

I've recently gotten into using random music generator software with my
rather exxtravagent loop collection to create noisey/chaotic music.  I've
been using Sound Raider and this program Saiko.  I have two questions.

1) Does anyone know of any good random and interactive music generators?

2) I want to run multiple programs and (obviously) my soundcard won't allow
me to do this.  I've seen it before but I don't remember where, but does
anyone know of some kind of software that allows me to run multiple sound
programs with only one soundcard?

Thanks a lot
