Excerpts from Joan Quintana's message of 2010-07-19 13:52:24 +0200:
> I want to implement an idea. In stead of playing along with my wind midi controller the leading track with the rest of midi tracks (being slave of the midi tempo), I would to program another way to play a midi file:
> 
> playing the lead track generate all the events of the rest of the tracks. In this case the concept of the tempo changes, and need to be calculated continuously to trigger the events. With this idea I will be free to play the melody, and feel how the orchestra (the other tracks) follow me, and not me following the orchestra (play along).

Something similar might exist, what comes to mind is MMA (musical midi
accompaniment?) and a csound program that plays blues(?) accompaniment
which was presented at LAC 2009 I think. Sorry, I don't have any links
ready.
