[PD] [OT] Sensitivity to timbre and adequacy of instruments to musics

[mark]

Hi, 

missed the original question but I have been looking at 
using "generators" to produce music - I'm not looking for 
totally random things - my main goal is to produce structures 
with a human feel that I can play around with. 

I tend to write externals for PD rather than doing stuff 
outside PD and use them to drive VST instruments but you 
could just as easily generate MIDI output. 

I have been having fairly successful results using Markov Chains.

AFAICR Koan assigns different notes different probabilites 

cheers

	Have you looked at Koan? (not a Pd thing) It's generative. I
think it outputs MIDI data. I don't have much experience with it,
though, so I can't tell you much more than that.
