Patter: a freeform generative MIDI tool

Creative coder Adam Florin’s new Max for Live device, Patter, invites the user to revel in the relationship between their own innate musicality and the unbridled, random potential of computer-aided composition.

Patter can help you create wild and experimental MIDI patterns for use with any synth or drum machine. Its ability to generate unique rhythms and melodies, deft control over randomization elements and flexible looping function can uncover truly unique ideas. Capture them for use in your productions, create a free-flowing improvisation partner, or map controls to your MIDI hardware to create a hands-on yet always surprising music generator.
