C source for the factorOracle Max external.
Currently, the external is verified to run on Mac OS 10.9.5 or greater (excluding M1 Macs), in Max 7, 32-bit mode only. Basic functionality verified in Max 8; there may be issues when sending messages that open system dialogs.
Follow instructions in the Max7 SDK documentation to build factorOracle.c for your architecture.
Factor oracle is a graph representing at least all of the substrings of a word. It can be built incrementally in linear time and space. A factor oracle representation of input from a live musical performance can be built in real time and parsed using a variety of heuristics to generate music in the style of the performance.
See factorOracle.pdf for a detailed description of this implementation.
See factorOracle-demo.maxpat for usage.
See https://vimeo.com/adamjameswilson/eighteen for a video example of factorOracle used in a live performance.
