MotionTones is a standalone instrument and plugin that uses a two-dimensional physics simulation as its compositional engine.

Users can create a scene by placing balls and drawing shapes on a canvas, with each collision triggering notes selected from a chosen scale or chord and played by one of the instrument’s built-in ambient sound engines.

The plugin supports both internal sound generation and MIDI workflows, allowing generated performances to be captured internally, sent to external software via MIDI, or dragged directly into a DAW as MIDI clips.
