Elysium
Elysium is a generative MIDI sequencer. An application that allows you to create music by laying out, configuring, and then playing a visual structure that generates MIDI to be routed to a DAW (e.g. Logic or Ableton Live) or to a software, or hardware, instrument. Here is a sample of what it can do:
Elysium was inspired by Mark Burtons incredible Reactogon interactive instrument.
Apologies to those waiting to try Elysium. The current beta version 0.7 has some serious stability issues related to 3rd party component. When that gets fixed I will be issuing the resulting v0.8 as a public beta. That was supposed to happen at the end of October. I am still hopeful it may happen before the end of November but it’s not my call. It is intended to publish Elysium 1.0 as an open source application under (perhaps) the MIT license.
You can see some short screencasts of Elysium in action. The screencasts show some (slightly out of date) Elysium builds playing the Native Instruments Kore 2 synthesizer. The screencasts themselves were made with iShowU and with Kore 2 routing sound through SoundFlower.
Elysium’s icon was generously drawn by the excellent Stuart Robinson of lastpixel. You can hear some recent tracks made with Elysium here.
We have added an Elysium GetSatisfaction page where you can leave feedback, request features, and so forth.
