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).
Is this a crazy idea? Could be feasible to program? Exist already something similar?
I downloaded the source code of the pmidi project (a CLI midi player). Is this a good
starting point to implement the job?
(sorry, I realise that may be a LAD post is better than a LAU post)
Thanks in advance,
Joan Quintana
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.
