Intermorphic has announced the release of Noatikl 2, a major new version of the powerful generative music software tool.
With the release of Noatikl 2, it now includes the advanced Partikl MIDI, Sound & FX multi-synth for sound generation and can also generate / send MIDI notes and controller info to control settings of favourite external synths, FX units & samplers.
Noatikl 2 also includes all the Mixtikl-included Tiklpaks so you can start with some great sound templates, and you can also now tweet your pieces as "partikls" (for other Noatikl users to play) or as "mixtikls" for people with Mixtikl or Mixtikl Free to play.

- Integrated Partikl multisynth & modular synth/fx network:

- Partikl? checkbox in transport panel makes it a snap to enable/disable Partikl output.
