Hi all,
Since its release in this website, Otomata, the generative musical toy has gained significant interest. Millions of people visited the site and played with it. I got so many mails, requests, thanks, and I’ve seen so much cool stuff people did with it and all makes me happy.
Today Otomata got an update. You can play with the new version at the exact same URL (no worries, old pieces still work), go here:
http://batu.in/otomata
New version has an entirely new (and hopefully better) GUI, 40 cool sound scales to play with, settable tempo, and recording support (you can record your pieces as audio files from the online application and get them to your computer).
Oh, and Otomata now has an iOS version so you can play with it in your iPhones, iPods and iPads on the go. You can share your pieces through twitter and facebook with the iOS app for the world to listen!
Click here to get the iOS version from iTunes store!
As usual, here is an action video:
As the developer of Otomata, I should say that it has been a great ride so far. Thanks for all your support, and have fun!

A really nice tool. Thanks for sharing it.
Great to see more work on this! Seems as though the default ‘legacy’ scale is/was Phrygian, rather than Otomata? Also, would love to see an Android version of this.
Keep up the good work!
The generation of sounds feels much more structured than before. Did you remove any times when they used to make sound?
I really like Otomata, but it keeps crashing on my iPod Touch 3g. Just wanted to let you know.
Same here, can’t get it to work on my second gen.
Love otomata but it is crashing my ipod touch as well, won’t make any sound at all, tried reinstalling and restarting ipod, but still no go!
Doesn’t work on my iPod at all. If I try to load one of the presets it just crashes out to the home screen. The arrows don’t move at all when pressing play. Very disappointed.
not working on my ipod touch. crashes upon changing tempo or loading pre-created mixes. disappointment.
please please fix the ipod touch issue!
