mLFO vs Metronodes

*** Note *** Although mLFO can run as a stand-alone app, the recommended way to use it is as an AUv3 plugin from inside a suitable AU Host app, such as AUM, AudioBus, Cubasis etc. mLFO AUv3 is a set of 16 programmable MIDI LFOs with a extensive set of features: - Multiple parameters per LFO, including variability. - Independent output and MIDI channel per LFO. - Wide rate range, from 1/128 to 130442 beats. - 9 factory and 16 user shapes. - Custom shapes: free and ADSR. - 4 trigger modes, including random retrigger (every incoming note triggers a random LFO). - MIDI Thru. mLFO uses parts of the following copyrighted material, the use of which is hereby acknowledged.

Metronodes turns counting into a machine you can build. Drop a counter on the canvas. Give it a range, a step, and a tick. Then draw a line from one counter to another and write the rule that joins them — "when this loops, add one to that", "when this goes past 5, reset that". Press Run and the whole thing comes alive. That's the entire idea. Counters are the nodes, rules are the wires, and everything you build is made from those two pieces. WHAT YOU CAN BUILD • A working clock — seconds rolling into minutes, minutes into hours • Polyrhythms and drum patterns that drift in and out of phase • A binary ripple counter, one bit per counter • Generative music, where counter values become notes and a patch plays itself • A dot-matrix sign spelling whatever you like, one counter per pixel MADE FOR TINKERING • Edit mode for wiring things up, Play mode for a clean view of the machine running • Rules fire on transitions — a crossing, a loop, a limit reached — not on every tick, so signals stay musical instead of storming • Colour pulses, background flashes and notes you can attach to any counter or rule • Decimal, binary, octal and hexadecimal counters • Snapshots to freeze a state and come back to it later • Ten worked examples to pull apart and rebuild YOURS, ON YOUR DEVICE No account, no sign-up, no network.
