Being able to address the variance of a particular event is, personally, such a make-or-break tool when it comes to generative composition. I've come up with all sorts of hacky ways over the years to get it, but using a list, as you've implemented here, is intuitive and elegant. Nice!
i really agree. like…make it different, but not _too_ different. i am working on a midi tool that uses this principle in (i think) an exciting way. can’t wait to share it!
great idea, I have just see the film by Gary Hustwit called Eno where each screening is uniquely generated for that viewing. Brian Eno only agreed to the film because of this generative approach. There was a Q&A after where Gary spoke about the collaboration between Teenage Engineering and himself on the software that generates the different versions of the film.
I really tried to follow some of the examples and tutorials but it feels like max is always locking me in in a certain way. For example everything has to have a fixed number of steps or subdivisions. I am still trying to make my program work but it was much easier to do programming somewhere else and then just send clips or commands to ableton with the api.
Smart and hot - the combination that is rare and even enjoyable sometimes.
Very interesting, thanks for your great videos and patches.

yes! the artifact is not the media but the set of instructions
Hi, can you explain how the patch can be used.
