Generative Modal Melodies - Max/MSP Tutorial

This is definitely a fun one- In this video, I create an algorithm that generates real-time melodies based on scales determined by the chords I am playing. This lets me play harmonies and let the computer 'solo' modal melodies over the music. You can modify the parameters in this algorithm to use other chord and scale types and explore other harmonic worlds!

Exactly what was looking for, much appreciated

wow that octave trick blew my mind

[@Lettucemode]

best beginner tutorials on max/msp for sure!

[@sarsedacn]

Thanks for this illustrative and creative tutorial.

[@dentzienluccas]

This is awesome! Congrats

Very good but it is possible to consider the chords positions (1,2,3 invertions)? instead the root position?

[@MaxPatissier]

merci

Great video as always, quick question, at 18:36 how did you drag the patcher like that? Thanks!
