Re: [microsound] MAX/MSP Algorithmic Generative Patch

Hi everyone,
I'm not sure how to answer any of these questions directly. But, I have found some patches over the years publicly posted on public sites. I have learned a great deal from these examples, some are: MAX/MSP, Reaktor, & PD. I did not write these patches; if any rights exist they are those of the unknown authors. I hope anyone or everyone can learn from them and create better and more personal patches. This is a learning experience. As an artist myself, I know the learning curve for some applications is steep if there is no frame of reference. Here are some frames, fill them with something good. 

A 6.8mb zip file is here: http://www.earphone.org/patches.zip

Cheers,
Marc

I think advice is being shared, as you were looking forward to.

Thought it would be fun to try googling your query:
http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=algorthmic +generative+Max/MSP+patch&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 

Lo, and the first result is:

Hi Guys,
looking forward to get some patch
in this way or some advices too.

There might be something self-referential about generative algorithms... certainly anticipatory ones.
Regarding getting some patch in this way, hit no.3 is a well-known starting point, or at least it offers a fruitful question:

Further results in this google search are left as an exercise to the inquiring mind. 

For extra points, a recursive search on recursion:

Hmm - looks like a like mind. Algorithmic composition, Max/MSP, Generative music...
Perhaps too similar? OK, so feedback tends to information reduction, maybe that can lose interest, maybe need to draw from some external influence? Nice to see the Duchamp / Muybridge connection... 

There's a whole world of wonder out there, if you want to play.

Up to u to understand my question, guys...
if you want to share or not...

i'm going to generate a patch to create a person to create a patch for me 
that generates persons.

 This confuses me a bit.
Isn't the point of a programmed generative patch - max or not - to write 
one on your own, so that it's your creation?
