JChordBox is a MIDI musical accompaniement generator software. It is a java 1.7 software.

Giving a chord progression and a music style (containing music templates also called grooves), JChordBox generates a MIDI backing track.

main features

- build music templates from a MIDI file by adding markers to delimit each groove
