Turing Machine MIDI Generator

About Turing Machine

Turing Machine is a MIDI Tools version of the Music Thing Modular Turing Machine sequencer. Its ingenious design uses a randomness and a 16-bit shift register to generate pitches and rhythmic patterns. What makes the Turing Machine so special is its "big knob" that allows you to control the amount of randomness that is used to generate notes. With the big knob at the center (12 o'clock), the resulting notes will be completely random. Turning the knob left or right reduces the amount of randomness. This makes it great for generating variations on a melody or beat.

This device takes advantage of Ableton Live's new Scales feature, which means that the generated melodies will remain in key.

Features

Scale Aware: Live 12 introduced a new scales feature that allows instruments and MIDI clips to be fixed to a specific scale. Phase Pattern supports this new feature, which makes its algorithmic melodies surprisingly musical.

Theme Support: Full support for Live's color themes so that the device matches the look and feel of your Live set.
