Tiction and AudioCubes

Posted by bschiett

I just came across a great application made in Processing, called Tiction. Check out http://www.tinkthank.net/software/tiction/.

Tiction is a flexible, nodal music sequencer.

It’s pretty simple: Each node represents an event, and a connection from one node to the next triggers the next event after a certain number of tics. Nodes send MIDI note messages and/or MIDI controller change messages when triggered. Connecting nodes in a circuit lets you start a repeating pattern when one of the nodes is triggered.

A node can change its pitch and controller values based on its position on the screen. When a node is triggered, it performs some physical action: either repelling or attracting other nearby nodes, or nudging itself in a random direction. The physical interaction between nodes allows you to construct complex, rhythmic melodies and effects without having to draw filter envelopes or touch a traditional sequencer.

We’d love to hear from anyone who has setup AudioCubes with this software. The nodes in Tiction could be moved and connected with AudioCubes while parameters could be controlled by AudioCubes sensors. Interfacing AudioCubes to Tiction through OSC is possible using the Max/MSP kit of AudioCubes patches, there is an example to send OSC using AudioCubes.
