Intermorphic has introduced Noatikl 2, the latest version of their desktop generative music software for Mac & Windows.

It’s currently available, in beta stage. Here’s what’s new…..

Noatikl 2 Features:

• Integrated Partikl multi-synth & modular synth/fx network
• Built-in support for the the advanced Partikl MIDI, sound & FX multi-synth for sound generation as previously featured in Mixtikl
• Full MIDI output support still retained; Partikl output is optional (but enabled by default)
• Partikl? checkbox in transport panel makes it a snap to enable/disable Partikl output
• Makes it easy for new Noatikl users to get going without any preparation of hooking-up to separate synthesizers; Noatikl makes sounds right out of the box!
• MIDI output from Noatikl is now optional – no need to configure Noatikl with MIDI devices!
• Plug-ins: Noatikl generates both optional Partikl audio data (new!) and MIDI data (1.x)
• The complete set of synth/effects presets as featured in Mixtikl
• Supports built-in custom sample wavetable (DLS1/Ogg/Wav based) (dialogs not available Mixtikl)
