hi, midi has maybe not enough possibilities to give a natural sound of an instrument, maybe more important than the notes is the phrasing and intonation, and also the sound of the midi instruments is still cheap. the problem is also, that if you have different effects, you would also play different articulation/phrasing. maybe you should make live-recordings with studio musicians using variating timbres and changing instruments and play them to the people. marius.
It looks like the worst problem we will find is on the composition of the musics. I'm thinking about finding stochastic models to various styles of music, and than program a music generator. Does anybody here have any experience on generating random music in PD? What would be the best approach? Making an external program that export the song in MIDI, and bring it to PD?
...Thank you, bye!!
