Re: Random Tone/Texture Generators
Per,
> Any one here on LD that use Koan?
Yep. Sadly KoanPro has not been actively developed for over five years
now but it's definitely still worth checking out. It's a very deep
programme. And it is most definitely interactive - at least it can
react in a greater or lesser degree to midi input. But it has one major
weakness: no midi clock sync.
Avoid Koan-X, though. It's an uninteresting toy, IMO, and can only be
used to 'remix' prebuilt Koan content. The interface was mildly amusing
in 1997, but is beginning to look a little dated ...
There are a few programmes vaguely similar to Koan that are still more
or less active:
