I was looking for a band in the box alternative. My idea so far is to
use LeMMA as a front end to MMA. I am lacking a way to loop the chord
progressions though. I think maybe a command line midi player that
supports looping may work. I tried timidity in --loop mode but it pits
a long pause after each loop. I also tried seq24 but I have to set up
assign Alsa channels for each track each time. Is there a tight
looping midi player or a band in the box alternative!

Hello
I am just work on a "band in the box" alternative, but it's focus more
as a Live Band. It meen Audio_in and Midi_out. I use a pitch tracker,
mixed with a Beat detector. You can configure both to get the right
point for atack the Beat and grep the Note. Then you have 3 Channel's
witch you can configure for channel, program, oktave and the sensity,
that meen's how fast the Note for the channel will read and send after
the beat detector have emit a signal. I use it for drum's in fast mode,
sitar in middle mode and kalimba in slow mode, that's my band. :D You
see it's a completely different style, so I dont know if it help's you ?
If you wont to try it, you can get it here:

Not exactly sure what you are trying to do ... but, MMA is not designed
for looping. But, it is pretty easy to put some repeat/repeatend markers
in MMA source and have that loop ... send me mail if you need more MMA help.
I just did a brief test with MMA and timidity --loop ... and yes, this
doesn't work. There is a pause in the playing even though the MMA
generated midi is exactly (in this case) 2 bars long.
However, I know I helped someone else get looping with seq24 working.
The trick was to use the SYNCHRONIZE options in MMA to force all the
tracks to the same length. Reports I received back were positive.
Send me PM if you need or help, or visit the MMA forum (there is a link
on the main mma web page).
Hope this helps.
