[PD] MIDI PD Artificial Intelligence

[Greg Rippin]

Marcus,

I have implemented a connectionist chord root identifier that could
easily be "time-smeared" to induce key.  It's not particularly portable
at the current time, however.  Robert Rowe has done things like this as
well, using both connectionist and rule-based approaches.  Check out his
"Machine Musicianship" book for lots of detailed info about different
approaches to this sort of thing.
