Miraton is a program to play and compose music live for Mac OS X.
Basically you link a sound and some settings to each key of your keyboard. When a key is pressed the sound is played using the associated setting. You can also use the mouse to apply real time effects to the playing sound (it is achieved by clicking the rectangle area at the right of the screen). Two effects are associated to the mouse at the same time, one along the X axis and one along the Y axis. By default these effects are overdrive and pitch (they can be changed using the arrow keys of your keyboard).
It is programmed to import sound files (.wav, .aiff, .mp3, .snd, .mov, any format supported by quicktime), to conceive music in a studio or in live improvisations.
MIRATON ‘s simplified interface is easy to use for pure pleasure at home, as well as it is adapted for agitated electronics performances, giving the user the possibility to be free to move on stage, to have a more handy and instinctive approach of his electronic tool.
It is free software and distributed under the GPL licence.
