Melody Slot Machine HD

Abstract

Melody Slot Machine HD is an application that allows users to experience generating melodies using musical structures while playing slot machines. To make it possible, we use the Generative Theory of Tonal Music (GTTM) to analyze the melody structure and generate variations of the melody. All variation melodies created on the basis of GTTM have a similar musical structure, so even if the melody switches to another variation in the middle, the overall structure will not collapse. It is possible to see the player on the display playing a new combination of a melody generated interactively by the user’s manipulation.
