Overview

Name | Version: Pendolo
Author: OSTINSOLO
Device Type: MIDI Effect
Description: Pendolo is a physics-based MIDI generator and sound design tool for Ableton Live that simulates the mesmerizing motion of pendulums to create evolving musical patterns. This innovative Max for Live device transforms the natural oscillations of virtual pendulums into musical notes, allowing you to explore the fascinating intersection of physics and music.

Key Features:
Physics-Based Sound Generation: Harness the natural motion of pendulums with adjustable physical properties including mass, length, gravity, and damping to create organic, evolving musical patterns.

Multiple Pendulum System: Control up to 16 independent pendulums, each with customizable properties that affect their oscillation patterns and the resulting musical output.

Visual Feedback: Intuitive visual representation of the pendulum system allows you to see the physical motion that generates your sounds, creating a direct connection between what you see and what you hear.
Interactive Interface: Directly interact with the pendulums by clicking and dragging them to set them in motion, creating unique rhythmic and melodic patterns.

Harmonic Control: Each pendulum is mapped to musical notes with precise frequency calculations, allowing for musical expression that follows the laws of physics while maintaining harmonic coherence.

Dynamic Response: The system responds to changes in pendulum properties in real-time, allowing for expressive performance and sound design possibilities.

Adaptive Layout: The interface automatically adjusts to your screen size while maintaining the physical properties of the system.

Pendolo bridges the gap between scientific principles and musical creativity, offering a unique approach to generative composition and sound design. Whether you're looking to create evolving ambient textures, rhythmic patterns with natural variations, or just explore the musical possibilities of physical modeling, Pendolo provides an intuitive and inspiring environment for sonic experimentation.
