- No, I suggest that you use MAX for performances. Symbolic Composer is a
- language for composing. Composing is by definition offline reflection of
- material and its structuring. Think about the traditional picture of a
- composer sitting by his piano in the spirit of mad genius inventing new
- pieces. Or you might consider using SCOM to generate lots of MIDI files
- beforehand, and then let MAX decide which of them to play depending on
- the sensor data.
