nate app for iPhone and iPad

Fun and intuitive to use, this app generates simple visual patterns on a map, then plays them back as music depending on their collision time with a form controlled by the user.

Features include: 
- 7 maps of varying stars (the more points a star has the larger the relative scalar leap it plays, with the darker stars moving in opposite direction to the lighter stars), to be played by separate instruments, and a volume control for each. These can be set to either play monophonic (point closest to centre is played) or polyphonic (collision with chosen shape plays potentially several points at a time).
- several instruments/samples to choose from (more to arrive in future).
- global controls for reverb, and separate per-instrument controls for delay/echo and individual instrument tuning offset.
- the wand with stars button replaces the current map with a newly generated one of chosen level of sparsity and repetitiveness (controlled with the slider to the left of the wand).
- the dotted circle button makes the notes continuously move slightly in random directions, changing the music gradually.
- the dice button (further refinements coming soon to this), makes the settings of the program are controlled by an inbuilt AI, gradually changing the output in a variety of ways.
- the microphone button (for subscribers), will begin and end (and export) recordings of all audio played by the app during a session.

It may sound or look more complicated than it is - its recommended to experiment with the features to get a feel for it.

Feel free to contact me if you encounter some difficulties or have a suggestion. More good things to be added soon.
