Polymerase - Exploring Musical Evolution

Polymerase is more than just a MIDI sequencer—it's a tool for exploration and inspiration. Using genetic algorithms, it transforms MIDI sequencing into an evolving process where rhythmic and melodic patterns adapt and mutate over time. At its core, Polymerase generates reproducible yet pseudo-random sequences, giving you consistency when needed and surprise when desired.

The device offers intuitive controls inspired by genetic principles. Define your sequence's blueprint with random seeds, shape its evolution with parameters like Mutation Rate and Sequence Length, and witness the creative potential of iterative cycles. While inherently repetitive by nature, Polymerase excels at crafting dynamic, evolving loops that serve as the foundation for your compositions.

Designed to integrate seamlessly with other MIDI devices, Polymerase works best when paired with a Scale MIDI device for harmonic output, as it doesn't process scales directly. Its minimalist interface invites you to focus on exploration, pushing the boundaries of algorithmic precision and human creativity.

Announcement Trailer

Specimen

Define the Genetic Blueprint

Start your journey with unique specimens. Adjust random seeds to define the genetic foundation of your MIDI sequences. Each specimen brings its own character, setting the stage for a diverse range of rhythmic and melodic possibilities.

Experiment Setup

Shape Evolution

Take control of the evolutionary process. Fine-tune parameters like Mutation Rate, Inhibitor Threshold, and Sequence Length to manipulate how your patterns adapt and evolve. Create stability or embrace chaos—your experiment, your rules.

Note Generation

Transform DNA into Sound

Convert genetic data into music. Control pitch, duration, and polyphony to shape the character of your sequences. Use the probability matrix, a powerful tool resembling a genetic sequencing map, to craft intricate, evolving, rhythmical patterns.
