I M P R O V I S E R
================================================================================
This is the automatic music generation program imaginatively called:
'Improviser'. It can play and generate music in real-time and save the
result as a MIDI file as well. The program can be controlled using a GUI or
the command line and is supposed to work on all the major platforms.

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/improviser/
================================================================================
Requirements:
* A Python runtime - http://www.python.org
* The Python mingus library with fluidsynth (see mingus' setup instructions)
http://mingus.googlecode.com/
* A SF2 SoundFont. You can find thousands of those using Google.
Some good ones can be found here: http://www.hammersound.net
(go to Sounds -> Soundfont Library -> Collections).
Optional:
* Pygame for the Visualizations - http://www.pygame.org/
* Python bindings for Qt4. [Recommended]
================================================================================
Installation:
* Install the required programs and libraries.
* Run `python setup.py install`
================================================================================
Graphical User Interface:
If you have the bindings for Qt4 installed. You can load up a GUI to control
the improviser by running:
qtImproviser.py
This is the preferred way to go, because the GUI is not only a front-end for
the cli version, but has support for up- and downloading and exporting and
importing as well; which currently can't be found in the cli version. It's
also easier to control.
================================================================================
Command Line Interface:
To start a real-time simulation from the command-line, run:
Improviser.py -e jazz --sf2 soundfont.sf2
This uses the jazz ensemble to play the default progressions with the soundfont
you downloaded from the internet. You can use the --list or -l switch to list
progressions, ensembles, blocks, etc.
For instance:
Improviser.py -le
Gives you a list of the available ensembles.
If you want to have a little visualization while the PC is jamming away,
use the --frontend switch:
Improviser.py --frontend mixed
To see more options use --help.

improviser's Issues
ImportError: cannot import name ProgressionDialog
hello, i can't run qtImproviser =[
this is what i get:
C:\improviser-0.8.6.2.1\improviser>c:\epython25\python.exe qtImproviser.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "qtImproviser.py", line 4, in
from qtGUI.MainWindow import ImproviserMainWindow
File "C:\improviser-0.8.6.2.1\improviser\qtGUI\MainWindow.py", line 4, in
from ProgressionDialog import ProgressionDialog
ImportError: cannot import name ProgressionDialog
Incompatible Mingus version from upstream
Hi. I can’t manage to make Improviser work, because of some import errors in Mingus. It seems that the Mingus API took a lot of (undocumented?) changes, and since Improviser doesn’t bring dependencies list, I can’t find a working version of Mingus. Can you tell at least the targeted commit you’re using? Then, a good fix would be to add a 'requires' in setup.py with the exact version numbers (and hope that Mingus respects SemVer).
Thanks, I can’t wait to use Improviser!
