C------------------------------------------------------------------------------ C turingTest0Coast C------------------------------------------------------------------------------ C C This pd patch creates "generative music" in conjunction with a electronic C synthesizer. C C It uses a Pure Data patch to model Music Thing Modular's Turing Machine C and create melodic sequences. https://www.thonk.co.uk/shop/turingmkii/ C C The Turing machine is a pseudorandom looping sequencer. It generates strings C of pseudorandom numbers that can be locked into looping sequences. These C sequences can be allowed to slip, changing gradually over time. Mapping C these strings of numbers onto scales create melodic sequences. C C In this patch, Pure Data sends a midi clock out to the Digitone and also bangs C out a Euclidian rhythm. On each bang, the Turing machine patch creates a pseudo C random number which is then mapped onto a major pentatonic scale. C C C Please see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGIkW4UEqdg for an example of it's use. C C------------------------------------------------------------------------------ C Requirements: Pure Data <https://puredata.info/downloads/pure-data> C------------------------------------------------------------------------------ C Usage: The file turingTest0Coast.pd is the parent patch which contains the rest of the modules. Explanation of the primary patches: midiClockOut: Sends midi clock pulses from the Pure Data to the Digitakt at 1/96th note intervals. It provides the euclidRhythm patch with a 1/16th note clock. euclidRhythm: Bangs out a randomly varying euclidian rhythm. This patch uses the patches eSeq, euclidR, expDist, and setctl. randScales: This patch selects a scale that the Turing sequence is mapped onto. turingSeq: This patch models the Turing machine. On each clock interval, it "bit shifts" the previously generated number one bit to the left. The bit shifted number then undergoes a Digital-to-Analog conversion and the output is normalize to be between zero and one. At user defined intervals, the least significant bit of the number is "flipped" to create a pattern that gradually changes over time. The user also has the option of locking in the current pattern. Contributions: Any contributions to this project are welcome. Acknowledgements: I'd like to thank Acreil for his inspiring Pure Data patches.
