Aura Flux is a totally unique and interactive ambient music maker that will have you creating complex, evolving melodies with just a few taps of the touchscreen.
Chains of notes are created quickly and easily by visually connecting nodes using the multi-touch interface. These nodes can be customised by setting the pitch, trigger rate, volume, decay and adding additional 'chord' notes. By layering these chain reactions together the user can easily produce lush sounding ambient melodies and with the option to randomise many of the settings can introduce elements of generative music into their creations.
