LEXIKON-SONATE

algorithmic music generator
Lexikon-Sonate is a work-in-progress which was started in 1992.
Instead of being a composition in which the structure is fixed by
notation, it manifests itself as a computer program that composes
musical structures in real time.
10 years after the Lexikon-Sonate project has started, the piece is
now re-released as a software environment which - for the first time
- offers the possibility to record the output to disk as a MIDI file.
This allows registered user of the program to create customized
musical structures which can be for compositional (or mere
recreational) purposes. You can import those MIDI files into notation
or sequencer programs and process them there as you like.
New features:
============
* possibility to write the output into a MIDI file
* outputs to Quicktime, MIDI or a new piano software synthesizer
* completely re-written user interface
* numerours improvements and bug fixes
System requirements:
===================
* Apple Macintosh PPC computer (when using the new PianoSynth, a G3
machine is recommended)
* OS 8.6 or better (OS 9.1 preferred)
* min. 16 MB of free RAM
* min. screen resolution 800*600 pixels
* Quicktime installed (version 5 preferred)
