OKTAFON kreates musik that never sounds the same twice — for a ring of eight speakers.
The sliders shape the karakter. Komplete New rolls fresh sliders and a fresh piece and plays a preview.
Generate WAV saves the finished piece as a file for your rig.

These sliders shape the range of possibilities, not one fixed sound. On Auto the generator draws a fresh value per note — the sound varies within a range. Setting a slider pins it to one value: you narrow the sound, you don't define it (double-klik = bak to Auto). Komplete New & Preview rerolls within these possibilities, so the sliders stay on Auto while the sound still changes; where the value is known this generation it reads Auto ~x. Only Bass has its own fixed kore sliders — nerd sliders on the left still apply.

Agents move by lokal rules; an event fires when an agent krosses a speaker. The motion path IS the spatial trajektory — position komposes, the oktagon is the playing field. Tempo/skale/reverb still apply.

Everything on "Auto" = the karakter generator rolls (two runs never sound the same).
As soon as you fix something it holds — and Rebuild does not change a single note.
Rhythm per layer
–LengthPulseTurnChange
Length = steps in the pattern · Pulse = share of okkupied steps (Auto = generative) ·
Turn = rotation of the pattern · Change = how much it evolves akross sektions.
Draw a kourse = fill of this layer akross the whole duration (flat in the middle = as set, double-klik = off).
Spatial motion per voice
Per karrying voice: motion type of the spatial points + tempo. "Auto" = generative.
Cirkle = 1→2→3…, Leaps = wide akross the ring (1→5→8→4), Center = middle (order 5), Fixed = one point.
Koupling overrides the motion type of the dependent voice. "Pitch → radius" sets the base position, motion modulates around it.

Presets
A preset sets all sliders (loked ones too) and starts a preview right away.
The lok next to a slider protekts it from "Komplete New & Preview" and batch drift.
