RTC-lib

The Real Time Composition Library by Karlheinz Essl and others is a software library for algorithmic composition in Max/MSP/Jitter ... and now for Pure Data as well.

The first prerelease of my RTC-lib Pd port is available here: http://footils.org/pkg/rtc-lib-pre0.2.tgz

Some more info: http://footils.org/cms/show/56

Quoting the original README:

This software library - a collection of patches and externals for
Max/MSP - offers the possibility to experiment with a number of
compositional techniques, such as serial procedures, permutations
and controlled randomness. Most of these objects are geared
towards straightforward processing of data. By using these
specialized objects together in a patch, programming becomes much
more clear and easy. Many functions that are often useful in
algorithmic composition are provided with this library - therefore
the composer could concentrate rather on the composition than the
programming aspects.

The Pd version currently includes about 140 abstractions that almost all are documented with their respective help files.

Some objects still are missing and also so far only I tested the ported objects, so your help is needed: Please test, and if you have Max/MSP: compare the behaviour! Also help is needed with the missing about one or two dozen objects.

A lot of thanks goes to Karlheinz Essl who is very supportive of this project and was answering a lot of my questions regarding the port. Thanks of course also go to the other authors of the RTC-lib and on the Pd side especially to Krzysztof Czaja: without his Cyclone library this project would have been impossible to do for me.
