Using circles and lines with arrows, Nodal represents a view of music that emphasizes musical elements (such as notes, pitches, rhythms, dynamics) and the interconnection between them.Making music in Nodal involves designing processes that generate musical sequences. It is a generative method in that it creates music from these elements and processes.Instead of describing music as a fixed progression or path from one musical element to the next, Nodal allows for the possibility of multiple pathways between musical elements.
More features and tools
In Nodal, you can create networks of nodes that are connected by edges (in graph terminology nodes are points in space and edges are connections between them). Nodes and edges can be given various musical parameters in the form of MIDI information that can be read by software agents called voices.Voices move around a network reading MIDI information such as note or continuous controller messages as they go. Voices are associated with a MIDI channel and output port so that they can send the MIDI messages they read to any MIDI instrument that you choose. All in all, Nodal is a very nice application for composing music.
