A Musical Generator is a shareware program that creates music and MIDI files from fractals, pictures, text and numbers. Lots of fractals can be used and each fractal can be adjusted in infinite ways to create music. Also you can turn bitmaps into music. You can use the names of yourself and your friend to see whether they sound good together. And you can insert your tax figures, model results, spread sheets or whatever numeric source in order to create music.

The plotter can help you in customizing your own fractals, as here with the Mandelbrot set. This plot was generated by choosing the tab Complex maps and clicking on the mandelbrot fractal. Click right on the thumbnail of the Mandelbrot fractal in the Vector View and choose plot. The Mandelbrot is plotted. When ready you can select a small part of the fractal using the mouse. Click the left mouse button and drag the mouse. A small rectangle is drawn on the map. When you lift the button the selected portion of the fractal is automatically zoomed into.

The piano roll helps you to evaluate your music. Click View|Piano roll to see it.

The MIDI messages view gives you insight how exactly a Musical Generator interprets your music. Click View|MIDI to see the MIDI messages.

Each fractal has an editor so you can change its properties. Double click on a fractal in the Vector View to edit it.
