Xx Demo

Xx is more than a multi-track MIDI sequencer. It is also an algorithmic compositional tool, 
a self-contained music creation environment, and a stepping stone past midi to complex 
instrumental synthesis.

Screen Shot

-Advanced graphic visualization

Each of your individual tracks are shown in a single window, visually revealing the harmonic 
relationship of your composition. Xx uses a standard "piano roll" notation with color coding 
to give you the best representation of track polyphony. Xx's window will adapt automatically 
to your screen dimensions.

-AI algorithms for composition

Xx is a powerful algorithmic compositional tool. The analyzation algorithm can understand 
the key/scale/mode of your composition, and through it's use of artificial intelligence, (i.e. 
patterning, randomization, counterpoint, chordal creation, mutation, evolve and more) enhance 
your composition. Or, with automatic music generation, Xx will generate various arrangements 
and theme ideas, giving you a place from which to start and respond. This type of user/
computer dialog will enable you to create music in just a few minutes or take your personal 
compositional style into new areas.

-A simple user interface

Xx has an intuitive interface which has been polished over the years to a highly integrated 
stage; from a single window, you have access to all the tools and functions needed to create 
your composition. No more multiple windows or palettes cluttering up your creative 
environment. Xx is quick to learn and easy to use.

-Beatnik software synth

Thanks to Headspace, Xx fully integrates the Beatnik software synthesizer, allowing you to 
create music without any external synthesizers or midi gear. That makes Xx the simplest and 
cheapest way to create music on your Macintosh. The future RMF export will make it the 
sequencer of choice to publish your music for the web.

-Export to MetaSynth

Xx allows you to convert your midi files to MetaSynth pictures or MetaSynth preset libraries 
for further manipulations or advanced instrumental synthesis.

-Import of Pict files

In a similar way than MetaSynth, Xx allows you to convert any picture (PICT) to MIDI data. 
Thanks to this ability you may now use your preferred painting software as a composition 
tool ! You may also transcribe a MetaSynth sound to a Standard midi file for further 
manipulation or for score printing.

-Libraries of ready-made patterns

A pattern is a small motif of notes and velocities that can be user defined. Using ready made 
patterns makes composition and arrangement of your music fast and easy. We provide several 
libraries of useful patterns, including basic drums, chords and arpeggios. 


Xx uses Midi Manager and/or Opcode Music System (OMS). At launch Xx will let you choose 
between them according to whats installed in your system. 

Xx is produced by U&I Software.  For more information about Xx, visit their web site at
