This article describes the M ́egra music system, a code-based, stochastic music system that can be used in a live performance context, as well as for longer compositions. M ́egra relies on Probabilistic Finite Automata (PFA) as its fundamental data structure. A case is made for the use of PFAs as a data model that can not only be trained(in the sense of machine learning), but also be interacted with on the basis of predefined operations and, as a side effect, enables one to creatively use the imperfections that occur when using very small datasets to infer musical sequence generators with the help of machine learning methods
