About FuX
Please install the new app that replaces this one: FuX2: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dh.fux2
Note: this is an old version of the app which is no longer supported.
Are you a composer looking for ideas? Or do you just enjoy listening to music? Fux lets you listen to an endless stream of continuously generated counterpoint music.
FuX uses a Variable Neighbourhood Search algorithm (VNS) to generate a continuous stream of fifth species counterpoint.
Strict counterpoint is a formally defined musical style that originates in the 16th century. The rules of this style were written down by Fux in his book "Gradus Ad Parnassum" in 1725. This app generates a continuous stream of music that adheres to these rules as well as possible.
The VNS algorithm used in FuX takes into account 19 melodic and 19 harmonic rules when evaluating the quality of the generated fragment. A detailed description of both these rules and the algorithm can be found in the publications available at http://antor.ua.ac.be/dorienherremans
Version 2.0 of FuX is able to generate counterpoint with composer-specific characteristics. These characteristics are based on models created by extracting features from an existing music database.
More information about FuX can be found on the developer's website http://antor.ua.ac.be/FuX

The only reason I'm not giving 5* is because of the frequent crashes.

I'm sure that it might be a good app if I could actually get it to run. However, after initializing, it crashes and closes the program every time. This was a waste of time.

The screen rotation bug is fixed, now it works great on my HTC and in the emulator. It can sometimes crash after a very long while, but work is being done to fix this!

App does work on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus, but in 10 minutes it crashed 2x without any error message. It's a very good concept, but I think it needs some more work.

On both my Reverb and my S2, it keeps exiting after about a minute or less. I like it otherwise.
