Hi Darth,
Have a look at the tuneR package.

Its a lot of software to take in yea, some I know by heart others like R Code I am a noob at.

I then wish to utilize patterns discovered to create a program which using proper algorithms set to those patterns to digitally synthesize music which conforms to those patterns but that would create said music automatically and potentially non stop; as in it does not stop writing the music and playing it until you turn it off. However; I do not wish this program to create a few tracks and play it on a loop, yes due to the patterns and the algorithms, certain bars and phrases will inevitably repeat but that doesn't mean just loop the same X amount of minutes.
