Musical content generation software in Python
Home Page: http://improviser.onderstekop.nl/
================================================================================ 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://improviser.onderstekop.nl/ 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. ================================================================================ Contact: If you'd like to get in touch to ask a question or submit a patch, you can best contact me by e-mail: [email protected] ================================================================================ Improviser - Automatic music generation software Copyright (C) 2008-2009, Bart Spaans <[email protected]> This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.

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
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!
