I know it's 10 years later, but if you want to check my (difficult as hell) piano arrangement of "Strike The Earth" from Shovel Knight, it's here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZS2nt-aOkv4

Interesting project, though I never used a tracker in my life :-)

Yes, probabilities can be set. For instance, we get the 16th silences 30% of the time, in each instrument part (regardless of the pool size).

My algorithm is fairly simple.

My random pools, for a given chord:
bass: 16th notes and 16th silence, fundamentals and fifths, with a fixed first note
percussion: fixed kick and snare, random treble 16th hits and 16th silences
arpeggios: only 16th in random order
high counter-melody: fixed notes (one per chord)
lead: 16th, 8th and dotted 8th notes, generally fundamental, second, third, sometimes fifth, and 16th silences
I wish I had access to a more powerful programming language to refine the lead algorithm.

Concerning harmonic pattern, there's a lot of possibilities, I used my musical knowledge and instinct to decide which are the correct ones. In any cases, it's an 8 bars pattern that starts with Cm and finishes with G (exept the bridge, which starts with Ab). You will see the possible patterns on the video.

I'm not sure I want to publish the source code at the moment (though I may change my mind in the future), but if someone wants to reuse the built bank in a project (with a little credit line), it's ok for me!
However, my algorithm isn't complicated (after all, FMOD is a high level program, not a real programming langage).

I've updated the concept and created a little webpage where the chiptune is generated in real time! http://chiptunegenerator.com/
Don't hesitate to make some suggestions for improvement, or tell what doesn't work well. At the moment, the "build-up" is buggy, I'm waiting for the FMOD devs to check the bug. Enjoy!

I've updated the generator since yesterday. I've edited the link above!

Hi everybody!
Last night I've done a quite fun experiment: an 8-bit music generator. Almost everything is randomized: notes, rythms, harmonic progression... It could potentially play forever and never be the same.
Funny, isn't it?

EDIT: now it has it's one webpage http://chiptunegenerator.com/
