Hello. I had this idea to let random people play my songs with me on stage. So I've made this on Max MSP, and drop a bluetooth mouse after a short explain about how things work. And then I was playing piano on this while the audience was clicking everywhere.

Now this is a standalone software available for free on Mac OSX. The Max patch and MaxForLive versions are also available on the same link here : https://www.s8jfou.com/maxmsp

All events, sequences and things are triggered by probability. I've made a really simple algorithm with % and more you increase the probability more you'll get random events. This is a way to create a generative track with time division/multiplication, and avoid loops and 4bars annoying beat. It keeps the sounds alive and unpredictable.
