# mdcmp

mdcmp (MIDI Composer) is a Python library for easily generating songs and emitting MIDI files.

**This is a work in progress.**

* [MDC file format spec](/docs/MDC_FORMAT_SPEC.md)

* [Progressions spec](/docs/PROGRESSIONS.md)

* [Grid](/docs/GRID.md)

# TODO

- Load MDC file: Convert mdc file back to grid

- Composition:

    - Create the Composition class.

    - Build a mdc bank of canned beats and progressions.

    - Load banks, glob style.

    - Generate random song from selected progressions.

    - Generate intros, verses, bridges, breakdown, chorus, outro.

    - Fade tracks out.

    - Fade tracks in.

    - Humanize: Add some velocity and timing micro-shifts.

    - Drums: Fills.

- CLI:

    - Convert: translate mdc files to midi files via CLI.

    - Compose from cli by specifying layers, loops, and params to composition object.

    - Example idea of CLI composer usage:

```

mdc-compose \

    --load samples/lofi/ \

    --out name.midi \

    --loop-all 2 \

    --layer intro=drums1:lofi2,verse=drums1:lofi3  \

    --loop-layer-order intro:2,verse:10,intro:2,verse:10 \

    --velocity-jitter 13 \

    --fade-in 10 --fade-out 10 \

    --auto-dynamics [0-10] \

    --humanize

```
