The Reactional Engine
The Reactional Engine enables new musical experiences by generating music in real-time based on user interaction.
It provides the musical intelligence required to open up for truly interactive music experiences. There are so many applications where the timing of events are not linear from A to B. Why force the music into that limited dimension? Let your application feature human-composed music that is generated live and evolves in sync with the rest of the experience.
Tie game parameters, hardware sensors, AR tracking, touch interfaces or MIDI directly to musical parameters. The Reactional Engine even enables playable instruments synced up to the rest of your virtual experience.
By getting rid of pre-recorded loops you can get an interactive music experience as tightly synced to your story as the soundtrack of a movie.
