These are electronic instruments for spontaneous expression...designed for electronic musicians, sound artists, samplers, and improvisors.

I aim for clear and intuitive design in order to make way for inspired creativity. With this in mind, there are some quirks with these instruments worth mentioning:

• Firstly, you cannot save sessions or presets - my intention is to foster spontaneous creativity and improvisation, to encourage people to begin from zero each time and be in the moment with their music making. However, if you feel you really need a save system for a particular instrument, please email me: al@lamplightforest.com
  
• Secondly, MIDI, OSC and QWERTY mapping is designed to be reconfigured with minimal interruption to creative flow - so the mapping controls generally form a large part of the visual interface
• Thirdly, the interfaces are all based around floating windows. This may not be the most efficient use of visual space, but to my mind it is the most flexible
  

There are plenty of amazing pieces of music software out in the world which perform their functions admirably - my intention is not to compete with any of these, but rather to provide alternative ways of creating and interacting with sound - to be a part of the amazing pool of people around the world exploring and expanding the fields of sonic possibility.
