Looks like you got me, buddy.


Well, deconstruction is easy. The hard part for me has always been figuring out what to build up.


Thank you. It was very hard for me to part with it.


Configurable randomness. A particular beat has probabilities of containing eighth notes, triplets, or sixteenth notes based on the "Rhythmic Variety" setting, and those notes have a probability of being rests based on the "Rests" setting.


Totally original. I came up with it by looking at lots of examples and seeing patterns emerge. It's not perfect, but it turns out that checking a select few indicators is sufficient in the vast majority of cases.


This is pretty accurate. tl;dr: What I did wasn't great but it could have been a lot worse (see all the things I made it a point of not doing), and that gives you something to think about when it comes to data and privacy.


Wow, that's a pretty unimpressive response. It's bad enough you did it, but I seriously doubt you realize how wrong what you have done really is when you discount that wrong doing so easily.

To make it clear: You advertised an anonymous service to a community you're a direct member of and didn't disclose your involvement in it. You not only willingly broke a moral code that you knew about, but you actually misrepresented the service in your advertisement and broke any trust you had with everyone who participated. That's a pretty serious wrong doing that warrants a little more self reflection and much more empathy towards the people you screwed over.
