Music Machine 1 will generate music according to the following parameters:
Decision 1: How many voices will play? (choice of 1-10)
For each different instrument the following decisions are then made:
Decision 2a: Which note will be played?
(choice of 1 to 127 (middle C = 60))
Decision 2b: How loud will that note be played?
(choice of 1 (almost silent) to 127 (very loud))
Decision 2c: Which sound will be used?
(choice of 1 to 128 (see table below))
Decision 3: How long will the notes be held?
(choice of 0.25, 0.375, 0.5, 0.75, 1. 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6 or 8 seconds. These are equivalent to the following note values at
60 bpm, semiquaver, dotted semiquaver, quaver, dotted quaver, crotchet, dotted crotchet, minim, dotted minim,
semibreve, dotted semibreve and breve.)
Decision 4: How long before the process repeats?
(choice is from the same values as for the held notes with the additional choice of 0 seconds).
The machine will run indefinitely until stopped by the user.
