Hello,
I am looking for a way to write a program that will generate a tone and then randomly choose a tone either a major or minor third above or below the initial tone. This would then repeat playing another tone with a major or minor third above or below that tone, etc. I do not understand how to work pd and have no programming experience. Is it possible to do what I want to do with pd?

you could use GEM for mouse position stuff or the , but for things like mouse wheel i have no idea (maybe there is mouse wheel support coming with gem i don't remember).
One other solution could be an interface with flash, i think the last version support mouse wheel stuff.( you also need the flashserver object)

(damn i could not find the link for the flashserver object if someone have it )
if you think this is the good way for your project, and you don't succeed to found it, i could post the .dll i have.

Also one other possibility is the Framestein stuff http://framestein.org/ there is some possibilities to interact with the mouse too (but i found this less useable than GEM (i don't mean this is useless but i don't find the english word for 'pratique'àà
