MIDI Generator

MIDI Generator makes semi-randomized MIDI files. It is a Python-based proof-of-concept predecessor to several other, more refined projects coming soon.

The files below are compiled binaries, available for testing and offered with no guarantees! If you find this fun or useful, please share your creations and send your followers here.

*Note: This program takes a few seconds to load, especially on Windows.

Buy on Ko-Fi!


Installation:

Having created MIDI Generator in Python and built executables using PyInstaller , I thought it might be worth exploring other languages and environments. While this approach yielded workable versions for both Windows and MacOS, the app runs less-than-snappy. Also, I still envision additional features, several of which are under development presently. AutomaticMIDI , which will be the successor to MIDI Generator , saw several weeks as a Dart/Flutter app and another in Processing/Java; the latest (and, so far, best) version is a .NET WPF app written in C#. All I really mean by, "best," is, "I feel like I know what I'm doing." My first instinct was: Whatever is the most cross-platform, and preferably if it uses the Material UI spec, that's what we're doing. And by "we" I mean the proverbial we . But I digress! Initially, I was imagining app stores and fanfare. It was a fond fantasy, and I now only care about making this app make remarkable, gener
