Just click the squares! Instant music!
That’s how I came up with my Digital flying chorus
It’s in D pentatonic major.
I recreated it.
Also it sounds more like D major.
Thats becuase the pentatonic contains 5 notes instead of 7. To make a pentatonic scale, take away the 4th and 7th of the scale. Those make a tritone when played at the same time, meaning the 2 most dissonant notes are taken away, making it easier to make a consonant song.

Otomata is a generative sequencer. It employs a cellular automaton type logic I’ve devised to produce sound events.
Each alive cell has 4 states: Up, right, down, left. at each cycle, the cells move themselves in the direction of their internal states. If any cell encounters a wall, it triggers a pitched sound whose frequency is determined by the xy position of collision, and the cell reverses its direction. If a cell encounters another cell on its way, it turns itself clockwise.
This set of rules produces chaotic results in some settings, therefore you can end up with never repeating, gradually evolving sequences. Go add some cells, change their orientation by clicking on them, and press play, experiment, have fun.
If you encounter something you like, just press “Copy Piece Link” and save it somewhere, or better, share it!
