It was a torturous affair, you would play one note on keyboard, toggle a switch, then advance sequencer to the next step. I also had access to the first EMS digital sequencer, and a custom built 4 x 128 steps by Bob Moog himself, for UMass, Boston. In the early 70's I used several analog modular sequencers with switching logic modules, (jump between 3 layers of a 16 stage sequencer and also a 3 X 8 sequencer, plus using Sample/Hold modules) (ARP 2500, 2600, MOOG and ARIES modular synthesizers). Generating melodies with machines is also something I am very interested in. I've done a lot of research in these directions already and am really looking forward to working on this again. If the user could code this style and purpose ia scripts, that would be perfect. I want generators that can learn from examples and imitate a particular style you feed them.

It is difficult to make a generator that can adapt to ANY style and ANY purpose. Generators are specific to a particular style or purpose.Cognitone would probably be asked to provide a new generator every month or so. That's because the underlying mechanics are recognized by the listener. Generators tend to create patterns that, after some time of getting used to, all seem to sound the same.While that is ok for some electronic styles, it does not help much for all the other styles out there. Generators tend to create artificial, random-like, repetitive patterns that do not sound like music performed by a human player.I want to avoid the typical flaws and shortcomings of generators: The only reason generators are not yet implemented for Synfire is that I didn't yet find the final solution to make them better than anything else out there. I was always intrigued by the idea of generating music since the late 80's. I'll post a few examples, If anyone's interested.
For my first experiments with algo music back in 1992, I used a very early predecessor of Synfire, named "GENERATOR".
