I like the string sounds, very majestic!

There aren't really any strings, it's just some waveform that comes with macrotune, but thanks.

Sounds like leading up to a final boss in MegaMan. F-yes.

I for one welcome our new procedural generator overlords!

length variation is really helpful here!  I might cut down on the consecutive 1/8th notes - maybe?  But I like the direction everything has been moving in!

I don't know if it really fits Megaman all that well, but it's definitely leading up to something.

They welcome your patronage, you shall be procedurally generated last.

I suppose you mean sixteenths, but I will definitely try to keep a reign on that at some point

Dang it!  I was sitting there trying to count the rhythms and I almost wrote sixteenths!  How does one listen to a piece of music and definitively know how to count the main downbeats?

You ask the composer.

LOL.  You got me on that one.

I started playing this and the play/buffer meter started moving backwards, so I'm firmly of the belief that this is a cursed recording.

M4A is a hell of a drug. It does different things to different people.

LOL... verrrrry interesting!
How exactly does the procedural generator work?

i mean specifically in terms of your personal work flow implementation...

It composes the music and outputs in an MML format that can be read by Macrotunes, similar to how it was in 2016 where a different program output ABC files.

That part at ca. 30 sec is very nice...

haha same here.  this track has a mind of its own in many ways!

That's what proc-gen will get you sometimes.

Not nearly hard enough though.

Ok so this is the longest song. I'm not joking, the progress bar scrolled backwards as it loaded in more song. It was bonkers to watch.

Also, dig the improvements to the generation, this one sounds fairly intentional.

Do you give hints to the program like, play me something that sounds like a polka on LSD ? Or did it evolve to the point that it guesses what you think you want it to play ?

When it suddenly ended the only reasonable thing to do was to play it again. Nice one!

Haha, noticed that too!  Devieus, your procedural generation skills are so solid they're distorting the fabric of time.

Time is a tricky thing.

That's way too much top-down thinking. I'm not telling it to do anything and it just makes a song using algorithms and previous outcomes.

It does have that quality to it a little. Another reasonable suggestion is to run the program again.

I guess I can put time wizard on my resume now, too.

I did not get a backwards scrolling progress bar, but more than 95% of the playback is completely silent. It was very enjoyable reading the comments while listening to nothing, I thought you had all gone mad.
