yeah, that's fun.
the logic behind the randomness is very good.
Thx hard off! I have found a good way to get appealing melodies is to have a bit of fractal stuff going on. One way to do this is to have the same melody at different speeds (double speed, half speed, triple speed, quadruple speed) laid over the top of eachother, and then switch randomly between the normal speed melody and the other speeds. It means you get melodies which are internally self similar and for some reason the brain likes that (well my brain does anyway).
Another addition may be the transformations described here: http://footils.org/cms/weblog/2009/mar/18/using-list-composition-pd/
In RjDj's "rj" library these are available in the [c_patternchange] object.
Oh yeah, I was going to mention that too, thanks Frank. [c_patternchange] is a really awesome object! It's basically Bach in a box.
Chris.
