View document

Bibliographic Details
Summary:This paper describes a contour-based algorithm for the real- time automatic generation of jazz walking bass lines, fol- lowing a given harmonic progression. A brief description of the walking bass procedure will be presented, and also a brief survey on some common implementations and tech- niques. This algorithm was implemented in the Max/MSP graphi- cal programming environment.
