Device Overview

Name/Version:	Algae MIDI 1.0
Author:	stringtapper
Description:	Algae MIDI is the algorithmic engine from the Algae algorithmic polysynth only without the synth! Just put it on a MIDI track in front of your favorite instrument and start Live's transport to play. You can either use the algorithmic engine or choose MIDI input which lets you either choose a static pitch collection with the keyboard or you can play dynamically through your controller or a midi clip. Set the "Center" and "Range" dials as the X and Y on an XY controller for some fun. This version has a known issue where MIDI mode will send out a continuous note C2 when it isn't getting any input. I'm working on it MIDI "mountain" code from Katsuhiro Chiba's "Sev." Rest probability algorithm from the M4L MIDI effect "Max PolyBeat."

Thanks for this. Working in 9.0.6. I got rid of the repeating C2 by putting a change object before your noteout.

Actually, ahem, that didn't work because it strips the noteoffs - oops! The other thing that worked, but is not ideal is sel 36 to filter out C2 altogether?not elegant. Will work on it. It's a great device for playing live and creating autoaccompaniment.

one of the most useful random note generators and one of my most used devices. thanks a lot!!! it only loses all settings (or maybe just the midi settings...?) when i reopen a project. anyway, keep it up ma man :)
