Apologies to everybody who came here looking for Tiction over the past few months and found a page full of dead links. In addition to moving this site to a different host, I’ve been occupied with a host of other projects, most notably GainStudio, a brand new way to manage your recording studio. More on that in a separate post.

The upshot is, all of the links to Tiction are back in place and working. Some people have been experiencing problems with Tiction and OS X 10.6, and I’ve started looking into that. Stay tuned.

I just made Tiction v0.4.0 available for download.

Changes:

• MIDI Sync
• Full screen support
• Improved controller widgets (for number boxes, mostly)
• FIxed bugs where NOTE OFF messages weren’t being properly sent

Tiction v0.3.0 is now released!

Tiction v0.3.0 adds support for OpenSoundControl (OSC). Now you can trigger and move nodes, start and stop the sequencer, and sync to an external source, all over a network with OSC. This lets you control Tiction with practically anything, including the iPhone/iPod Touch (using TouchOSC, Mrmr, or OSCemote, for example), Pd, Max/MSP, or pretty much anything else you can dream of. The ability to send OSC messages from Tiction is coming soon

The ability to save files and open them later means you can hang on to that amazing patch you set up.

You can now globally disable the physical actions. This prevents nodes from moving around when triggered.

The background now subtly pulses to indicate which pitch was triggered. You can turn this off by setting the “bar brightness” slider to 0.

The Tiction window is no longer inverted, meaning the top of the window corresponds to higher pitch/velocity/CC values.

A number of other bugs were fixed, including one that didn’t preserve the source of a node’s note velocity.

You can get it here.

I’ve updated Tiction to use the excellent RWMidi library. This fixes problems some people were having with Tiction not starting up correctly.

I also added the ability to copy a node’s MIDI channel to all other connected nodes.
