polyMorph

polyMorph is a Swiss Army Knife for Generative Music

polyMorph is a standalone music production app for both Mac and Windows, and Swiss Army Knife for experimental, generative music making. The app can operate as an array for installation sound, a digital audio workstation, guitar pedal, and autonomous sonic playground all-in-one. With a simple bootup, extensive in-app documentation, and deep options for customization, polyMorph can take any shape users wish.

polyMorph differentiates itself from modern DAWs in its gesture-based approach to music composition. Rather than relying on MIDI or a traditional keyboard, the app uses mouse input from users to create sweeping musical gestures in real-time. Its gesture-based paradigm significantly lowers the barrier of access for those looking to try experimental approaches to music production, and makes for a program equally at home on a stage mid-performance as it is in a studio setting.
