Karlheinz Essl

The latest version of Karlheinz Essl's software library for algorithmic composition and generative music, optimized for Max7, also running with Max6. Released on August 10th, 2015.

 (1993-2015) offers the possibility to experiment with a number of compositional techniques, such as serial procedures, permutations and controlled randomness. Most of these objects are geared towards straightforward processing of data. By using these specialized objects together in a patch, programming becomes much more clear and easy. Many functions that are often useful in algorithmic composition are provided with this library – therefore the composer could concentrate rather on the composition than the programming aspects.

In RTC-lib 7.0, all help files have been optimized for the new GUI of Max7. This release also includes a couple of updated and improved objects.

Great stuff that I have been using for years(the previous versions of the RTC lib, that is)
