Welcome!
Orbits is a generative music app allowing you to play around in an interactive sonic sandbox. With multitouch support, Orbits allows you to create a series of particles that chase each other and interact to generate music based on some predefined constraints.
Simply press a finger down to start growing a particle, drag to set it's initial direction and release to see it fly off. Particles attract, so try putting them in Orbits around each other, or something. When they collide, they play notes based on their sizes.
The android menu button opens the following options:
Tails: Turn on/off the tails for the particles. This increases performance a lot on phones and some tablets, and also changes the general look of the app.
Auto Play: turn this on to make particles generate themselves.
Background Music: turns on/off the background music (surprised?)
This is an actively developed, updated and supported app. It's in its initial stages, but I will keep adding features to it for as long as I'm not bored of it, which will take a while. This will include different types of particles and forces, sounds, etc. This version has no ads at all (at least for now), and it's completely free, so enjoy it.
The beta version is now no longer supported, so this is the official Orbits.

Wonderfully unique and creative approach to music This is exactly what I was looking for - an app to simply indulge my senses and let me play with sounds and visuals. Hats off to the developers, I'd certainly pay for a more varied version.

Over rated I just wish somehow the game would let you make music, it is more just random pings. Just not for me I guess.

Very Cool Hope you get the Galaxy s people working. Someones idea for having Each orb emit a sound before there is a collision would be a nice feature to turn off/on. Thanks dev

More interactions please!! Awesome idea, but it needs to be more fully fleshed out. Perhaps the particles could generate tones while orbiting each other? Having them only make single notes upon crashing makes the game lose novelty fast...

SGS2 - ICS Seems to run okay on my phone. Bit heavy on battery and probably CPU as well, but it's not crashing so far... Does seem to heat up when used longer, but so awesome when you figure out the controls and reactions of particles. Not crashing !!! :-D

Excellent Saw this on the processing forum. Great proof of concept. Performance on my HTC Desire HD was much better than expected. Well done, keep it up!

really nice, though buggy it doesn't really ever slow dow on my transformer, but it does sometimes occasionally just close itself.
