Cell Sampler

Creative tool for generating random sequences

Drop samples into the grid, then set off chain reactions of cells with your keyboard.

Overview

• Drop in your Samples - The Cell Sampler will analyze and automap them, putting each sample in its own cell.
• Activate Cells - Click or drag on cells to make them dead or alive - Shift+Drag to box-select
• Start a Chain Reaction - Play any note to start a sequence of generations. On each generation, living cells may play their sample. Cells only playing their sample if it is not already playing.

CELL RULES

• Rule 1: Death by over-population if number of neighbors is greater than 3
• Rule 2: Death by under-population if number of neighbors is less than 2
• Rule 3: Rebirth by reproduction if number of neighbors is exactly equal to 3

OPTIONS

Mapping: Click Learn, then play a note. It will save whichever cells are dead and alive. Now you can get back to that by playing the mapped note. With Add enabled, the whole grid won’t be overwritten by mappings. Only the mapping’s alive cells will be added. Click Un-Learn, then play a yellow note to get rid of its mapping.
