The first release is Asteroids, a Generative Arcade Sequencer based on the classic arcade game, asteroids move around an 8×8 grid triggering notes when they collide with each other.

Advanced sequencing modes makes Asteroids a powerful sequencer for both experimental/generative melodic sequences or intricate/polyrhythmic drum patterns.
