Hi,

For my project of network performance, the application has been built with neural net technology in mind. It is not finished yet, but basically the patch samples incoming streams according to a metronome, a signature and a kind of MIDI file that helps the computer to know which note is played. The computer recognize rhythmic melodic patterns. At some point because of the delays created by the networks, the computer have some gaps to fill (due to discordance of harmony or simply by a slow connection). When the length of the gap is known, the patch playbacks a sample (or several ones) it "thinks that will suit the rest of the song. The musician playing can either activate a foot controller or any MIDI controller to tell the computer if it is a bad choice or not. I am at the moment dealing with how to save data for memory and particularly looking at object for database communication. BTW, I now there was something done to communicate with MySql but I don' t remember where was that. Olaf' s objects, maybe ?

Does anyone have any experience using neural network computing with PD or anything similar? I want to experiment with an external or something using neural networks for decision making in response to incoming sounds played by me. I'm willing to explore, but since I have no experience with writing externals, nor with neural networks, any help or starting points would be appreciated.
