ZOA
A creative MIDI sequencer that is both immediate and immense.
ZOA is a MIDI sequencer that uses a musical take on John Conway’s Game of Life to generate melody, harmony and rhythm. Up to four voices move through an evolving landscape of living cells, each with its own pace and rhythmic pattern, playing notes as they go. Use the standalone app with its built-in Sidekick Synth, or load the AUv3 plug-in in a host like AUM to drive your other instruments.

Original and interestng
Wow. This app is so cool. I tried it out with Iconica Sketch and what a gas. My first tries would have had Bach & Beethoven rolling over in their graves, but after a while got the hang of it and can make some pretty amazing pieces with it. Cudos to Ryan. Great creation.

Very Cool!
Really enjoyed the app. Great soft music coming out. Also great to use on USB MIDI devices when testing! Very nice!

Amazing
I love using this app to create hypnotic sound scapes to help me relax. I run it through AUM. Ryan’s tutorials on YT are very helpful.

Absolutely Stunning!
This is exactly what I’ve been wanting for quite some time, thank you!

Versatile and interesting
What I love about this is that you can use it to set up a complex and random melody for your next track, or you can set it, forget it, and just chill to the onboard synth playing in the background.

Creative Tool
Great tool to find a creative spark. Perfect for generative and/or ambient genre and can be used in other genres. Great developer… try his other stuff too.
