Generative hip-hop beats, looks nice. As I see it, the sequencing isn't the hardest part in hip-hop beats, though: a lot of the magic is in the timbre. Sampling, mixing, etc. are often what captivates me the most. Imagine doing that algorithmically - foraging through a collection of samples, processing them, chopping them up and making beats out of it. A similar constraint-based approach might work well, though probably a lot more work.
Anyways, who are the authors? Nowhere to be found! Sure it's a class project but that's no excuse! And they should publish the BeatOven source, would love to play around with it.

- errozero 10y agoFL Studio has some really good randomize options with lots of different settings built into the piano roll.
- Nition 10y agoThere is one absolute classic work in that field that I know of. It's called Designing Sound, by Andy Farnell: https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/designing-sound https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/designing-sound
- gtani 10y agoThere's other classics by Martin Russ, Miller Puckette, Curtis Roads, Allen Strange, Perry Cook.
