Noton is a livedrawing playground.
Noton works by drawing cables between timers, logic gates and instruments inspired from sejo's Color Computers to explore binary logic.
Right-click to add nodes, and left-click to add wires. Nodes will emit a positive signal if all the connected wires have the same polarity. The screen has timers to the left, and notes to the right. The default timers are 6 trackers, 4 sequencers and 2 pools.

Sequencing
For example, if we wanted to play C3 every 2nd and 6th note, every 8 bars. We can combine two tracker nodes.
time | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 |
