BeatPrint Description

BeatPrint was developed to be a program that randomly generates techno, break-beat, and ambient rhythms using several techniques of algorithmic composition. The program runs under KeyKit, a MIDI programming language, and plays the samples off my Roland MC-303. BeatPrint started as an independent design project while I was an undergrad at UW-Madison and has continued on as a fun and interesting hobby. The initial intent was to write a program that would generate a techno song at the push of a button, but I found developing melodies to be quite a challenge and decided to just focus on rhythm. I still work on the project in my spare time and as a next step plan to make a GUI for it in KeyKit.
