Tiction
Tiction is a flexible, nodal music sequencer.
It’s pretty simple: Each node represents an event, and a connection from one node to the next triggers the next event after a certain number of tics. Nodes send MIDI note messages and/or MIDI controller change messages when triggered. Connecting nodes in a circuit lets you start a repeating pattern when one of the nodes is triggered.
A node can change its pitch and controller values based on its position on the screen. When a node is triggered, it performs some physical action: either repelling or attracting other nearby nodes, or nudging itself in a random direction. The physical interaction between nodes allows you to construct complex, rhythmic melodies and effects without having to draw filter envelopes or touch a traditional sequencer.
New to version 0.3.0
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. See OSC and Tiction (below) for more information.
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.

How to use Tiction
Get Tiction to play nice with others
Tiction doesn’t make any noise by itself - it just sends MIDI data. When you first launch Tiction you’ll need to press ‘o’ on your keyboard and select the correct MIDI output from the list shown in the options screen. Press ‘o’ again to hide the options.
If you have a MIDI-enabled hardware device, select the output on your MIDI interface to which the device is connected.
If you want to use Tiction to control a software instrument, you’ll need to set up an inter-application MIDI connection. On Mac OS X, you can create an inter-application MIDI bus with Audio MIDI Setup in Applications/Utilities. Launch the utility, select the MIDI tab, double-click on IAC Driver, and set up one or more buses. Make sure “Device is online” is checked. You’ll need to restart Tiction before the new bus(es) are visible.
I’ve never set up an inter-application MIDI connection in Windows, so you’re on your own there.
For now, set your instrument to listen to all MIDI channels on the bus you’ve selected.
Create a loop
Press ‘n’ to create a new node (it will be placed under your mouse pointer). Create a few more nodes. Now click on one to select it, press ‘c’, and click on another node or press ‘v’. You’ve just connected these two nodes; when the first node is triggered, it will trigger the second node after the number of tics shown on the connection. The two nodes are also linked by a springy connection; this lets you keep groups of nodes together.
Now connect the rest of the nodes together in a closed circuit, from one node to the next until you’ve connected the last to the first. The direction of the arrow indicates the direction of a message - make sure you construct a loop that allows a message to be passed in a complete circuit.
Make it go!
Now you just have to get things going. Start the sequencer by clicking on the “Start/Stop” button or just press the space bar. Select one of the nodes and press “Enter” or “Return”. The circuit should start playing!
By default, each node’s pitch is determined by its horizontal position in the window. If you click one of the nodes in the loop and drag it from left to right, you’ll hear the notes change pitch. Also by default, the MIDI velocity of a node is determined by its vertical position in the window. NOTE: Currently the vertical axis of Tiction is flipped. That is, higher Y values correspond to the lower part of the screen. This will be corrected soon.
Pressing ’s’ will set the selected node as a stop point - the next message to this node will not trigger it and will not be passed on.
Go wild
You can create as many nodes as you’d like (well, as many as your computer will handle) and connect them however you want. You can leave groups “un-circuited” - you’ll just have to retrigger them manually - or create densely interconnected meshes of nodes.
A note about stability
Stability - keeping things from blowing up - is a hard problem. In order to keep things as flexible as possible, I’ve left it mostly up to you to deal with it. Consider the following network:
What will happen when the left node is triggered? It’ll trigger the top node one tic later, which will trigger both the right node and the bottom node. One tic after the bottom node is triggered by the top, it gets triggered again by the right node. So now you’ve got two trigger events circulating through this network. After a couple more tics, you’ll have three. Pretty soon the network will be saturated - every node will be triggered during every single tic.
Tiction makes sure that a single node only sends one MIDI note per tic, so you don’t have to worry about flooding your instrument with data, but you will end up with a loop that just plays a four-note chord every tic. If that’s what you were going for, then great! But if you weren’t expecting this, it would get annoying. So be aware that this is possible.
Things to play with
Pressing ‘e’ brings up a set of controls for the selected node:
- You can set a node’s MIDI pitch to be determined by its X position, its Y position, a fixed pitch, or you can have the node send no note at all.
- You can set a node’s MIDI continuous controller number. You can set the CC value to be determined by the node’s X position, its Y position, a fixed value, or you can have the node send no CC messages at all.
- A node can have a physical action associated with its triggering. You can set the node to jiggle a bit in a random direction, attract other nodes, repel other nodes, or do nothing.
- Increasing the mass of the node increases its attract/repel effect on other nodes. This also makes it harder for connected nodes to drag it around.
- You can select the MIDI channel this node sends its messages on. NOTE: MIDI channels are currently offset by 1. So selecting Channel 0 in Tiction corresponds to Channel 1 in other applications.
- Clicking the “Copy to group” button sets all connected nodes to this node’s MIDI channel. Very useful for quickly assigning a loop to a new instrument.
If you press ‘e’ when a connection is selected (select the connection by clicking the dot at its midpoint), a couple controls for the connection pop up:
- The ‘tics’ box sets the number of tics this connection delays a message by before triggering its downstream node.
- The ’strength’ slider changes the spring strength.
To change the MIDI pitches associated with positions along either axis, press ‘o’ and edit the MIDI pitch numbers in the options screen. The axes are currently only divided into 16 pitches - future versions will allow more flexibility here.
Clicking and dragging the ‘tic tempo’ box in the upper right corner lets you speed up or slow down the pace of things. This number represents ‘tics per minute’.
To cycle through all nodes onscreen, press ‘tab’ repeatedly. To “grab” a selected node (suck it toward your mouse pointer), press ‘g’.
Pressing ‘h’ toggles the displayed help.
OSC and Tiction
Version 0.3.0 adds support for OpenSoundControl. So far the following messages are used:
- /tiction/nextnode takes one integer argument. If the argument is non-zero, the next node is selected. This is the equivalent of pressing “tab”.
- /tiction/tic takes one integer argument. If the argument is non-zero, the sequencer advances one tic. For this to have any effect, you must select “sync to osc” in the options screen.
- /tiction/triggernode takes one integer argument. If the argument is non-zero, the selected node is triggered. This is the equivalent of pressing “Enter” or “Return” when a node is selected.
- /tiction/stopnode takes one integer argument. If the argument is non-zero, the selected node is armed as a stop point. This is the equivalent of pressing “s” when a node is selected.
- /tiction/sequencer takes one integer argument. If the argument is 1, the sequencer starts. If the argument is 0, the sequencer stops. This is the equivalent of pressing the “start/stop” button or pressing the space bar.
- /tiction/movenode takes two float arguments, each between 0 and 1. The first argument sets the selected node’s X position on the screen, the second argument sets the selected node’s Y position on the screen. This lets you move a node around with controllers such as TouchOSC’s X-Y pads.
- /tiction/setpitch takes two integer arguments. The first argument, between 0 and 15, specifies which pitch to change. The second argument, between 0 and 127, specifies the new pitch value (60 is middle C).
The first four messages above take an argument in order to work with controller buttons that send a 1 when pressed and a 0 when released.
If you don’t have control over OSC addresses of the messages your controller sends, I recommend the excellent OSCulator, which you can use to route any OSC message to another.

This thing is great! I’ve just been playing around with it in Logic for the last hour and had some great results already.
One thing - is there any way to get Tiction to send a MIDI Off signal upon hitting the space bar to stop it running? At present, the final note just continues playing until you close the AU instrument in Logic; unless I’m just missing something obvious…
I know it’s very early days, but one thing I’d love to see is the ability to send MIDI to different outputs via separate clusters of nodes. I’m sure you’re already planning that, but I just thought I’d mention it! Being able to send SysEx messages would be great too.
Thanks, and congratulations on such a promising piece of software!
September 20th, 2008 at 6:59 am (#)
Hey. Cool idea. But on my Windows XP machine the midi output isn’t functional.
I’m one of those rare people that has actual external synths and midi interfaces. When I press follow your quick instructions to mnake a sequence, hit ‘M’ and select a device, and hit the space bar, I get silence. What’s more I have both a RME Multiface and USB Midisport, both of which will blink lights if you send it midi data, and neither of them blink their lights.
Neither does selecting the Microsoft GS midi synth or Java synth make any sound.
September 20th, 2008 at 7:04 am (#)
in fact the sequencer never starts when I press space. When it’s running, the nodes should move based on their selected action right?

Thanks for the comments everyone.
Nay-Seven: User-selectable colors are on my list of things to add. Stay tuned!
Martin: I’m working on making note off messages much better - the library I’m using just doesn’t do a good job of it, so I’m switching to something else. On my setup (I’m using Logic, too), only some MIDI channels have problems with note off messages - is it the same for you?
Kent: Pressing space bar just starts the sequencer - you have to trigger a node as well to get it to start. Select a node by either clicking on it or tabbing to it, and press Enter. If you still don’t get MIDI output, please let me know. Thanks!
Andars: Have you changed anything to Vista’s Java setup? I’m looking into this. In the meantime, you might want to try this: go to processing.org and install the Windows package, then see if Tiction still has problems. Whether this works or not, please let me know.

Hi Chris -
Did you install OSXMidiSPI, as mentioned in the download section? You have to unpack the zip archive and place the files in /Library/Java/Extensions. I’m hoping to be able to do this automatically at some point, but you have to do it manually for now.

Hans, thanks for such an inspiring instrument. FYI, I could not get OSXMidiSPI to work on either my Mac Pro Intel, nor my PowerBook PPC. Cheers to Ratsko for the Plumstone tip. Loaded it on my PowerBook and works well and will try the Mac Pro tomorrow. For those interested, a brief description on how to set up Tiction to work with Logic Pro. As Hans describes above…
Set-Up Audio Midi on your Mac,
Macintosh HD.Applications.Utilities.Audio MIDI Setup
Double click on IAC Driver
“Check” Device is Online
Click Ports tab
Click Add Port button
Double click on the new entry (likely Bus 2) and rename Tiction (labels are good!)
Open a New Project in Logic 8
Create a stereo Instrument Track
Place an ES2 (or your favorite synth) on the track
Go to the environment (Apple ‘8′ to fastpath)
Go to the ‘New’ tab
Select ‘Instrument’ and a new instrument will appear
Cable it to track Inst 1 and choose ‘Remove’ in the pop up
Label the instrument ‘Tiction’
Click next to ‘Port’ and choose IAC Driver Tiction
Click next to ‘Channel’ and choose All
Go fire up Tiction
Hit m (for MIDI) and choose Tiction MIDI Out (will be followed by a MIDI number; see note above on numbering that starts at 0)
Create a Tiction canvas with your nodes like explained above and play
If all is well, you will hear Tiction being played through the ES2 (or your chosen synth)
To record the MIDI out from Tiction into Logic, simply press R for record on the track and the main Record button on Logic Pro and you will get a nice, Tiction generated MIDI file.
Hope this is helpful & enjoy Tiction!

I’m trying to get Tiction 0.2 running on my MBP. I had an expired demo version of Mandolane MIDI SPI. A dialogue box came up telling me demo was over and Tiction wouldn’t start. I killed Tiction, removed the Mandolane MIDI SPI from /Library/Java/Extensions, and installed the recommended Ruin & Weisen osxmidispi. However, when I start up Tiction, it doesn’t see the new MIDI SPI, and only gives me the Java synth as MIDI out options.
Is the SPI location cached somewhere? If so, I couldn’t seem to figure out where. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

The OSXMidiSPI library doesn’t seem to be available from that R&W site anymore - I had to extract it from the Nomad Nord editor program. I couldn’t get the Plumbstone library to work on OS X 10.4, but I think that’s because I have an Intel mac. Ok on 10.5 though. Not sure why the OSXMidiSPI library has been withdrawn from distribution there though,

My understanding is the maker of the library used in OSXMidiSPI wanted it removed from R&W’s site. Tiction v0.3.0 on Mac now installs this library in the right place, so you shouldn’t need to download it separately anymore. If, for some reason, you want it (it’s called MMJ) you can get it here:
