Right up my alley!

I found this graphical, generative compositional tool yesterday. Quite fun to play around with. check it out at: http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~cema/nodal/

Cheers,

Thanks, just what I've been looking for. Took me about an hour to download and figure out the basics and how to use with Operator. I'd be interested in hearing what people come up with.
It works fine on Mac OS X 10.3.9 by the way.

td, thats just too complicated for me

i like this nodal! just doing the tutorial with garageband, after checkin out the examples, i like this. a lot! thanks lo-fi!
one thing, undo only seems to affect values in the node editor, and not positioning on the grid. boy i can already see the possiblities for me
