The latest update for Mixtikl arrives and it is awesome! Here's what to expect:
Mixtikl 3.0 is a huge advance over Mixtikl 2.x in terms of power, features, mix customisation and included content. It is a free update.
- Inline "live" synth editing allowing total customisation of Partikl synth sounds and FX
- Inline "live" Noatikl scale and harmony rule customisation at content cell and global mix level
- Includes 4 new unlocked Tiklpaks and 4 earlier purchasable Tiklpaks (meaning over 380 parts are now included)
- Content cell root and pitch offset controls as well as content cell FX
- Control-rate LFO now includes tempo-sync option and random level bouncing option (cool with filters!)
- Copying of zip paks into Mixtikl via App File Sharing now included
- Improved: Better looking, easier to use, much more responsive UI and simply better sounding
- Improved: Knob/slider control behaviour
- Improved: All mixes now saved to User_Content folder for easier synching with desktop (older mixes also moved there)
- Improved: Increased mix/mic recordings limit to 1000 bars
- Improved: File format update means tweeted mixtikls can now include full synth & fx customisations
- Improved: Synth / fx network editor now has colour-coded units, connecting cables & context-sensitive gadgets
- Improved: Partikl file loaded into Mixtikl from e.g. clipboard, plays back automatically in Mixtikl mixer
- Fixed: Many, many general usability & performance improvements and bug fixes

Have you seen how many screens there are???

A huge amount of depth!
It's a massive upgrade. It will take people time to get around all the new features but if you make the effort the rewards are there.
Anyway, to welcome v3, here's a new mix that exploits some of the new features.

Note - it probably needs v4 iPhone or equivalent hardware (or desktop version) to run well. Powerful features need resources!
Keep an eye on the IM forums for hints and demos of how to make the most of the new version.
As long as they've improved (vastly) the GUI, then I'm happy. :)
OH YES! A great update and also came the first post on their youtube channel .... yay!

Tom - I hope you like what we've done!
Marlene - many thanks - if you can tweet that Mixtikl 3 is now out - that'd be very helpful!
Best to all,
Pete
Finally had ten minutes (only, how sad) to try the new version, impressive! Looking at the screen poster is a little scary but I liked the added depth, tons of fun (and learning and working) ahead! All the packs inside seem free now (not that I regret buying some before) that'll also make a lot to explore. Kudos and thanks to Intermorphic.
Thanks Mat!
We figured that with the paks all "built-in", Mixtikl 3 would become irresistibly good value. :)
We also have Lite and Free versions to come, they're currently awaiting review...
Hopefully they'll persuade yet more people to try-out generative music!
Interesting comment on the map - it might put off some people, and might encourage others. :) A fun thing to ponder, anyways!

@Pete Cole .... tweeted
Hey intermorphic, please release the Android version!
This looks wonderful! (+1 for someone who would buy an android version - the "programming" nature of the workflow would lend itself well to latency constraints in the current generation android OSs... although I understand the constraints of being a small company)
Can't wait to try it!
Thanks Marlene! :)
Anonymous #2 and #3 - we hear you!
We'll probably look at finishing-off the Android version once we've got Mixtikl 3.1 out the door.
We're just going to have to ask for your patience and continued support! :-D
