Gravity Machine vs Stochastic Lab

A tiny solar system that plays piano. Four orbs, a gravity well, and walls that ring like bells. Fling an orb and it falls, ricochets, and plays notes. Where it hits a wall decides what it plays; the physics decide when. You don't write the music. You build a small world and curate what it sings. Gravity is a touch instrument first. Grab an orb and it follows your finger; let go and the throw becomes its velocity. Drag the gravity well and every orbit in the room bends. Set Pulse and the well breathes in time with the tempo, so chaos starts keeping a schedule. EVERYTHING LANDS IN KEY Every impact point along the boundary maps to a note of the current scale, low at one end, high at the other. Pick from 16 scales and 11 tuning systems (12-TET, just intonation, maqam, shruti and more). The scale strip along the bottom is a key-change timeline: tap a segment, change the key, and the whole world modulates on the bar. EIGHT WORLDS TO BOUNCE IN Rectangle, circle, triangle, hexagon, pentagon, octagon, diamond, star. Sharp corners ricochet hard and play jagged. Round shapes glide and play smooth. SOUND A 16-voice pluck engine through a double-bass body and reverb. Octave, key range, quantize from 1/32 to 1/2, orb-to-orb collisions on or off. Presets to start from, themes for the visuals. AUv3 AND STANDALONE Use Gravity full-screen as a standalone instrument, or load it as an AUv3 in GarageBand, AUM, Logic Pro, Cubasis, Loopy Pro and any other Audio Unit host. Each orb has its own MIDI channel, so Gravity can drive other instruments in your host. ONE PRICE No account, no ads, no in-app purchases, no data collected. Buy it once and it's yours. The same engine ships as a VST3 and AU plugin for Windows and macOS at touchmachines.com.

Stochastic Lab is a generative composition tool built around the mathematical methods Iannis Xenakis used to compose: probability distributions, stochastic processes, and Markov chains, applied directly to sound. GENERATE • 6 generation modes: melody, rhythm, cluster, cloud, pointillistic, sequence • 6 probability distributions: uniform, Gaussian, exponential, Cauchy, Poisson, linear decay • Full control over density, register, tempo, block length, and Markov-driven contour • Choose a single orchestral section (strings, winds, brass) or let the generator blend all three • Pick exactly which percussion sounds are in play REAL INSTRUMENTS • Real sampled strings (high & low), winds, brass, and an 8-piece percussion kit — not synthesized approximations • Authentic short (pizzicato/staccato) and sustained articulations • Genuine glissando and tremolo, generated as part of the composition itself EDIT & PERFORM • Full piano roll editor: drag notes, edit pitch by semitone, adjust duration and velocity • A live recording keyboard to play your own material into any layer • Freeze a generated block into a fixed, fully editable sequence at any time SCORE • A live, Xenakis-style graphic score (particle-cloud visualization) for every layer • Expand any layer — or the full combined score — to fullscreen, with zoom and a moving playhead • Export the score itself as a printable, shareable image SEQUENCE & ARRANGE • Multi-layer Sequencer for building full compositions from generated or recorded material • Song mode for arranging multiple sections into a complete piece EXPORT • Export audio (WAV) and MIDI, mixed or as separate stems per layer, straight from the Generator, Sequencer, or Song view AUv3 PLUGIN • Stochastic Lab also runs as a real Audio Unit (AUv3) instrument inside GarageBand, Logic, AUM, and other hosts • The actual generative engine runs live inside your DAW — not a static sample player • A dedicated on-plugin control panel (mode, distribution, density, pitch range, tempo, and more), with a Preview button to audition before recording • Full MIDI recording support, including pitch bend and glissando THEORY • A built-in Theory section covering Xenakis's life and stochastic music concepts, with real-instrument audio examples for every distribution Stochastic Lab works entirely on-device — no account, no internet connection required, no data collected.
