TOPLAPapp
Screenshots
TOPLAPapp is a sonic puzzle based around a virtual machine for sound synthesis. This machine accepts a few valid instructions represented by the letters T, O, P, L, A, and p, and you control it by placing each command letter within a grid, along with setting some associated parameter sliders. The machine rushes through the instruction set to create output sounds, which are usually of a somewhat noisy character, hopefully interestingly so. The historical antecedents include instruction synthesis as pioneered at the Institute of Sonology in the 1970s, and the live coding movement, of modifying a running program as it acts. This app is intended for those interested in more experimental sonic art: don't download unless you are open to stranger computer music sounds ((http://www.toplap.org).

Okto Media, 27.02.2011Excellent ChaosBest sound tool aside from Tweakybeat. Hopefully this will inspire more sound art apps in the future. Beautiful, disgusting tones. It's like an enormous feedback loop with many unlabeled equalizers, Show more
