Senode - Graph Sequencer 1.4.0

SENODE is an innovative music app based on the concept of finite state machines. It functions as a polyphonic modular step sequencer with probabilistic steps, making it ideal for generative music and intricate sequencing configurations. SENODE synchronizes its clock to Ableton Link or integrates as an AUv3 plugin. All actions are MIDI bindable, enabling real-time triggering of steps from drum pads, sensors, or other apps, making it a superb tool for live performances.

CREATE COMPLEX SEQUENCES WITH RANDOMIZATION

The core of SENODE consists of a graph of nodes linked by edges. Users can configure SENODE to function like a simple vending machine or a complex pinball game. Each node triggers a sound when activated, while edges determine the direction of travel. Instruments are controlled by emitters that send tokens across the graph, generating MIDI signals. This allows users to compose generative music pieces for entire orchestras using graph notation and a few emitters. Adding random directions or emitting multiple tokens at different times enhances the creative possibilities.

GRAPHICAL MULTI-TOUCH INTERFACE

Compose and perform music live with the intuitive multi-touch interface of SENODE. Users can create, move, and connect nodes using multiple fingers. The on-screen keyboard aids in visualizing and editing notes efficiently.

INTEGRATED SYNTHESIZER

The standalone app features a simple yet powerful subtractive synthesizer with primary OSC options (sine, saw, square, noise), sub OSC (sine), 1-pole lowpass filter, stereo reverb, and ADSR envelope. Demo patches are available to inspire users.

MIDI CONTROL AND STEP RECORDING

Utilize the step record function to create new nodes spontaneously using single notes or chord detection. Control SENODE's steps with a drum kit, wearable sensors, or any MIDI device. Enjoy the unique experience of controlling your music's tempo.

CONTROL MUSIC APPS AND EXTERNAL DEVICES

SENODE serves as a versatile sequencer for all MIDI-capable apps, enabling synchronization with other apps using Ableton Link and integration with favorite DAWs through the AUv3 plugin (in-app purchase required). With a MIDI interface connected, users can also control hardware synths using the app.

REAL-TIME CONTROL

Designed for live music performances, SENODE operates without default "beats" or "bars," ensuring all actions occur in real time. Tokens can be quantized to a clock (16th resolution) and support catch-up functionality, allowing users to stay in sync even if they're slightly early or late.
