Algorithmic Composition with Genetic Algorithms in Max-MSP.

This repository currently contains an implementation of a Genetic Algorithm as a Java External and an accompanying Max-MSP Patch. The Processing sketches for the visuals are coming soon.

Instructions

You need to configure Max/MSP and Eclipse (or any other IDE) for Java externals. Fortunately, a couple of good tutorials are out there. - Max MSP Development with Eclipse - Writing Max Externals in Java

For simplicity, I've included the entire Eclipse project, which you can import directly.

If the projects and the path are set up correctly, you should be able to use the Max patch and create some music!
