GAMusic: Genetic Algorithm to Evolve Musical Melodies
areas/genetic/ga/systems/gamusic/
GAMusic is a user-friendly interactive demonstration of a simple genetic
algorithm (GA). Here, the GA generates short melodies and the user
assigns the fitnesses. The iterative stepping, mutation frequency and
recombination frequency are all controlled by the user. Each series of
musical notes is represented in binary form in an array 128 elements in
length. This allows a maximum of 30 notes per melody and provides a
solution space with approximately 3.4 * 10^38 possible melodies.
[Intended as an introduction to GAs; may not be of interest to
experienced GA programmers.]
