Version 1.1 of Numerology Level 1 is now available for download at the Five12 website. It includes fifteen major new features and several smaller enhancements and fixes. Prominent among the new features are Gate Division for sequencing complex rhythm patterns, a MIDI Learn mode for remote control via MIDI CC, and new modules for processing control signals.

Numerology is a modular MIDI sequencer for Mac OS X that is oriented for live performance and experimentation. It uses sequencing techniques first established by analog sequencers in the 1970's, implemented within a virtual studio environment built from the ground up for improvisation and experimentation. Whether you are a new to music making or an experienced performer, Numerology offers a unique and powerful environment for extending your compositional boundaries.

To hear evidence of this, visit www.five12.com to hear a demo sequence made using gate division, pitch slew and MIDI remote control. This live, improvised track is an example of how Numerology's features can be combined to create a powerful compositional instruments. There are also demo tracks showing Numerology's capabilities with traditional electronic music, as well as something completely unexpected from a MIDI Sequencer, a granular textures demo.

Numerology Level 1 is written for Mac OS X, version 10.2. A free demo is available for download. The full version can be purchased online for $50.
