Yeah it's not as slick as a Lexus commercial but perfect for a fun audio dismantler.After watching both for the Automaton, my interest was spiked enough to download and read the manual. Also well crafted. I rewatched the videos and now with my head around Automaton picked up some of the the finer programming points and performance technique that I missed on first viewing. You packed alot into these videos. Well done. This is a finely crafted little monster that could delve a tad deeper. (i.e. a Ricochet parameter subset within the replicator page) No need to get carried away here but that would seal the deal for me! Albeit, version 1.0 still looks sweet and complete.

For the record, the Game of Life dates all the way back to 1970 and British mathematician John Horton Conway. I really need to do some digging to track just how many computer musicians have applied the Game of Life to musical applications, but suffice to say, they’ve been doing it for quite some time – partly because you don’t need any computing power to make it work. Most recently, we’ve seen in synth form in the wonderful Reaktor ensemble by Lazyfish, Newschool (featured in Reaktor and included with the package), and as a kind of meta-effect from Audio Damage called Automaton.

NEWSCOOL is not a Reaktor "preset", it is a Reaktor ENSEMBLE, programmed from scratch in Reaktor, programmed by Lazyfish, a russian reaktor programmer /musician who works for native instruments I think Lazyfish, Native Instrument's ensemble programmer deserves mention, because if it wasn't for him, Automaton would probably not exist. Thank you Peter, you may want to correct your comments addendum.

I know this, because I have studied and reverse engineered some of his Reaktor ensembles. Newscool for example was written about in the Keyboard magazine review of reaktor 5. I would appreciate if you don't delete my posts. Thanks thank you for your reply Peter.. but i don’t think there was a need to delete my post..
