Animation

Conway Automata

Explore a generative cellular grid with tones, intervals, and colors from the active keyscale.

Conway Automata is a generative animation connected to JolyMusic tones, intervals, and keyscales.

Each active cell carries a tone or interval color, while new cells update visual labels for the active keyscale.

Records chord/scale plays and global output tone groups (tones + intervals only).

Advanced audio
Generate and preview band-style accompaniment for chord-grid playback.
RX

Use advanced audio settings as the playback source for chord-grid clicks, test chord charts, and inspect the generated accompaniment.

Shift the preset runner shape by this amount after each full preset pass. Example: 1 runs the preset, then the same preset shifted by one step, then again by one more.
Multi-track engines
Route each generated JolyEngine track with the shared engine form while autoplay is active.
