Hi,

   I am trying to do a project through Pure Data. This project shall produce a real time audio software tool that enables the user to interact with the computer to produce melodies and backing progressions. These melodies, harmonies and progressions should reflect the musical input from a midi keyboard.

 

   The user shall have the option of selecting the instrument sound with which the computer uses (e.g. piano, strings, bass guitar, trumpet, etc).

 

   The three central areas of the project involve:

 

1) The computer harmonising with single notes input from the user's midi keyboard.

 

2) The computer providing a melody sequence over a particular chord progression input by the user (i.e. the computer solos over the user's keyboard playing).

 

3) The computer analyses the users solo playing and provides an accompaniment.

   I have been expermimenting with PD for the past month or two, without much success really. Could someone please point me in the right direction. I've read through the documentation but cannot find anything relevant the project I'm trying to implement.

 

   In the "testtone.pd" I can hear the testtone through the speakers....and can see the MIDI IN notein values registering as I press my keyboards keys....but I cannot hear output from my keyboard. Must I create something for this?...of should keyboard storkes be output anyway?

  

Any other feedback would be appreciated too,
  

Please help,
Marcus.
