Mixtikl comes to the Mac app store

What a day for Mixtikl, not only a huge update on iOS, but Mixtikl is now on the Mac app store too. Here's all the details:

Create magical & interactive generative music "mixtikls" that you can tweet, email & share. These can include your own short message / haiku / poem + vis settings + play-along instrument! It's fun & social, and, as you would expect from a generative music lab as deep, powerful & continuously extended as Mixtikl, the musical results can be astounding. So have a go, share your "mixtikl" and make history as it becomes a new art form!

Mixtikl 5 makes it easy to create great sounding music from the many included generative "parts". If you want to create a cool mix and play along instrument for an interactive mixtikl message, then simply press a button to create a new random mix. When you have something you like, add your message, choose how you want it displayed and then tweet or email it. It's as easy as that!

If you're the kind of person that wants to take things further & to customise mix tempos, roots, scales & arrangements, or wants to explore & learn more about generative music rules & parameters by experimenting with them, or wants to try your hand at building complex modular sound synthesis & FX networks, or even just wants to mash up generative music & custom FX with a load of audio loops you have made in + copied over from other apps and then record it all - then Mixtikl 5 lets you do all that, too. That's because it includes the powerful 12 track mixer/arranger screen and all the sound, fx and other editors that came with Mixtikl 4.
