This is quite fun to play around with! Many of the other CA-based music generators I've seen have sounded rather atonal and random compared to this one. Here's one I made using symmetric initial conditions (doing this makes for somewhat interesting visual patterns as well): http://www.earslap.com/projectslab/otomata?q=0q1q2q3q8w8y8p8f887868580905010b4y5y6y7l7v701j1d1o4535253a6h5n2c http://www.earslap.com/projectslab/otomata?q=0q1q2q3q8w8y8p8...

- adriand 15y agoThat one is excellent - visually as well as auditorily pleasing. In terms of interesting evolution I keep coming back to this one I just sort of randomly put together: http://www.earslap.com/projectslab/otomata?q=04046g043q515p3j132x647t http://www.earslap.com/projectslab/otomata?q=04046g043q515p3...
- jerf 15y agoThat's partially the result of the chosen scale. Run a set of "up" arrows from the top left to the lower right and it will play the scale. Then go back to just playing around, and you'll hear how that choice colors the results. A different scale choice would have different results. This would combine well with bajsejohannes's idea; you could exert some control over the scale while letting the automata run free.
