NOTE: AU MIDI plugins are audio unit extensions that are meant to be loaded in compatible hosts, such as AUM, AudioBus 3, apeMatrix, Beatmaker, Cubasis 2, Nanostudio 2, or Sequencism. Please follow the instructions in the included manual. Physicles is a container of physics-based Audio Unit MIDI plugins. These AU MIDI plugins generate MIDI messages through the use of an underlying physics engine, which models the physical interactions between various entities. In this version, the following plugins are included: 1) Physicle Bouncy: In this playground, multiple balls bounce inside a polygon. MIDI messages are generated whenever a ball collides with the side of the polygon. 2) Physicle Gravity: In this playground, generators spawn balls every certain beats, which will then produce MIDI messages after colliding with user-drawn segments. Notes: - The plugins do not generate any sound, only MIDI messages.
