hello

I am writting a software to compose automatic organ music in Bach's style.
I just start writting this software, but it is allready running a little. Today the music made is very simple as they are few algorithms and few basic patterns but this will give you an idea of what this software will be able to do.

Hello
here is the next version, still a prototype. You can see the poor screenshoot and listen to 2 demos.

Most impressive, J-Paul, most impressive.

Your gist for this kind of software programming simply amazes the socks off of me - you certainly are the savvy one with a computer, that's for sure.

Great work JP. This is really cool!

One question though. Who get's the copyright for music composed by this software?

[musicalis]

For copyright I suggest
48 % for J-s Bach
48 % for Myself
01 % for the user of the software
01 % for Bill Gates

Wow !! That's interesting !!

Version 1-0-3 december 6th 2008
All my demos are raw, they are not edited at all.

More patterns but still the same small algorithm to build the whole song

MP3 demo of this version, with a mistake in the last 2 bars due to a wrong timecode in the bass track. Overall; pleasant to hear.

in this version I have added midifile (format 1) export. this allows printing and editing the score. Many key signature are available. Look at the new demo in E major (the score has been a little edited).

Fantastic stuff but can I ask what exactly is "Bach's style"? I asked about a blueprint for Bach's music recently and was told that there wasn't really one. This would tend to counter that argument??

Thanks all!

Hello.

1) I said Bach's style because the software uses rhythmic and melodic patterns coming from Bach's organ work. But if you prefer we could say "baroque counterpoint style".

2) Sorry, I don't know what is a blueprint.

3) If you want more demos (made with earlier version), try http://organ.monespace.net/temp/demo...rac%20v1-2.zip
