System Parameters

Accompaniments are evolved through NEAT with an initial CPPN mutation rate and crossover rate of 0.3. The NewNote threshold is also 0.3. Furthermore, when the OnOff output in the rhythm network (which also indicates volume) falls below 0.3, no note is played. Population size was 10 per generation. The next generation was created through mutation and recombination of solely the choices of the user.
