GenSeq -----#####

GenSeq (a working title) is a free MIDI generative sequencer application. It is only a few weeks old, so is in need of a lot of help. Currently, only very basic features are implemented. Most of the documentation of this project can be found inside of comments within the code itself, so dig in! The basic concept of this project follows.

The user designs a generative score based on a graph constructed of Nodes and Edges. A Node may represent any musical event, and it is connected to any number of other nodes. Each node plays its musical event specified by a corresponding likelihood. (TODO:) A connected component of the overall graph can be encapsulated in a MetaNode, which can be treated as any other Node in the contruction of the graph. This allows the user to create larger non-deterministic musical structures. Multiple layers of generative scores (up to 16) allow for complex counterpoint.
