M, developed in 1986 by David Zicarelli, Joel Chadabe, and Antony Widoff at Intelligent Music, was the first realtime software for interactive composition.
Based on a collection of algorithms, and performed by clicking and sliding a mouse on a graphical control panel on a Macintosh screen, M allowed a composer to create random transformations of MIDI patterns and hear the results in realtime.
