README
## Description
This is a rather simple DAW-like interface that maps data to tracks that can be played with General MIDI. It is my final project for the IDMT module at my university, and is probably bound to evolve to something more usable at some point.
## Installation
You'll need npm and Bower to install dependencies. To do this:
```
git clone https://github.com/gleitz/midi-js-soundfonts.git
npm install
bower install
```
Note the soundfonts library contains a lot of MP3s and is quite heavy (~380Mb) so it may take a while to download.
### Dependencies
* [MIDI.js](https://github.com/mudcube/MIDI.js) for MIDI playback
* [MIDI soundfonts library](https://github.com/gleitz/midi-js-soundfonts)
* [jQuery](http://jquery.com) for manipulating the DOM because I'm too lazy to deal with vanilla JS
* [underscore.js](http://underscorejs.org) for easily working with data
* [icomoon](http://icomoon.io) for quick interface prototyping
* CoffeeScript and Sass (required for development only)
## Build
```
coffee --bare -c js/index.coffee
sass css/style.sass css/style.css
```
