algo1 performs probability and cumulative distribution operations to produce a deterministic matrix. The object is an implementation of a 0th order Markov chain with stochastic and deterministic elements. The left inlet of the object takes input in the form of lists of up to 256 values. The program then performs probability and cumulative distribution operations to produce a deterministic matrix. Then random floating-point numbers are entered into the right inlet. The numbers are sent through a stochastic operation that matches the random number with the previous index, finds a new index based on probability, and outputs the new index. When given random numbers in a rhythmic sequence, it outputs a MIDI stream that can be viewed as a generated score when Max/MSP and a composing program are transmitting on the same internal MIDI bus.
