===Implementations===

The first implementation of statistical style modeling was the LZify method in Open Music,<ref>G. Assayag, S. Dubnov, O. Delerue, "Guessing the Composer's Mind : Applying Universal Prediction to Musical Style", In Proceedings of International Computer Music Conference, Beijing, 1999.</ref> followed by the Continuator system that implemented interactive machine improvisation that interpreted the LZ incremental parsing in terms of [[Markov models]] and used it for real time style modeling<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://francoispachet.fr/continuator/continuator.html |title=:: Continuator |access-date=19 May 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141101121138/http://francoispachet.fr/continuator/continuator.html |archive-date=1 November 2014 |url-status=dead}}</ref> developed by [[François Pachet]] at Sony CSL Paris in 2002.<ref>Pachet, F., [http://www.csl.sony.fr/downloads/papers/uploads/pachet-02f.pdf The Continuator: Musical Interaction with Style] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120414183356/http://www.csl.sony.fr/downloads/papers/uploads/pachet-02f.pdf |date=14 April 2012 }}.

OMax is a software environment developed in IRCAM. OMax uses [[OpenMusic]] and Max. It is based on researches on stylistic modeling carried out by Gerard Assayag and [[Shlomo Dubnov]] and on researches on improvisation with the computer by G. Assayag, M. Chemillier and G. Bloch (a.k.a. the ''OMax Brothers'') in the Ircam Music Representations group.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://omax.ircam.fr/|title=The OMax Project Page|website=omax.ircam.fr|access-date=2018-02-02}}</ref>
One of the problems in modeling audio signals with factor oracle is the symbolization of features from continuous values to a discrete alphabet. This problem was solved in the Variable Markov Oracle (VMO) available as python implementation,<ref>Guided music synthesis with variable markov oracle
