Could something like this be made in Maxforlive/as a VST for exporting MIDI? That would be sweet.

uh, oh, check out stuff that has been made for the monome. There are already a couple of m4l-versions of monome devices, and there is an emulator that lets you use a launchpad instead of the monome (http://www.maxforlive.com/library/device.php?id=141).

look at plinko for example:

or press cafe:

they do not work exactly as the thing you linked at, but are not too different either.

This is great, only just starting out learning Max for Live but I think now you've put the idea in my head I'm going to have to try it!

is something like this available outside of max for live as a plug in?

Sweet

Nice tone.

great algorithm. great implementation. i'm no good with max but i could do this as standalone exe with user definable smapples. hmmmm...

Gorgeous

ball sequener should do it

BallSequencer is a sequencer VSTi based around the idea of MIDI messages being generated by balls moving around inside a rectangular area. Notes are triggered whenever a ball collides with the boundary of the rectangle. You can set parameters that will control the movement of each ball, in addition to possible note and velocity values

Love to see the Otomata thing in a M4L patch which outputs midi!

This is so gorgeous ... nice tone.. keep it up..
