A "Choose"-Based Automatic Music Generator

Creations & Ideas
1

I spent about half a day developing this automated music generator. It randomly generates harmonically coherent sequences with controlled note intervals, synth parameters, and pitch variations. The current version includes a melody generator and a basic drum pattern module. Potential future updates may incorporate chord progression support:

use_random_seed 0
use_bpm rrand(90,130)
synths = [:piano, :saw, :square, :tri, :supersaw]
use_synth choose(synths)
m = [:g3, :a3, :b3, :c4, :d4, :e4, :f4, :g4]
times = [0.5, 1]
c = choose(m)
t = choose(times)


in_thread do
  loop do
    sample :bd_ada
    sleep 1
  end
end


loop do
  play c
  if c == :c4 || c == :e4 || c == :g3 || c == :g4 then
    c = choose([m[0], m[3], m[5], m[7]])
  elsif c == :f4 || c == :d4 || c == :b3
    c = choose([m[5], m[4], m[2]])
  elsif c == :a3
    c = choose([m[0], m[2], m[3]])
  end
  sleep choose(times)
end

I like the sound, but I’m not sure I’m following the logic. What are the rules, described in plain English, about how to constrain the next note choice?
