Download the Max 8 sdk, and copy the folder factorOracle at repo\windows\source to max-sdk\source. Compile using Visual Studio 2013.
C source for the factorOracle Max external.
NOTE: This is an alpha phase project, still under development and testing. There may be bugs.
Currently, the external is verified to run on Mac OS Mavericks 10.9.5 in Max 7.2, 32-bit mode only.
Follow instructions in the Max7 SDK documentation to build factorOracle.c for your architecture.
Factor oracle is a graph representing at least all of the substrings of a word. It can be built incrementally in linear time and space. A factor oracle representation of input from a live musical performance can be built in real time and parsed using a variety of heuristics to generate music in the style of the performance.
See factorOracle.pdf for a detailed description of this implementation.
See factorOracle-demo.maxpat for usage.
See https://vimeo.com/adamjameswilson/eighteen for a video example of factorOracle used in a live performance.
