This repository represents a research project I am undertaking, to give musicians practice improvising in a call-and-response format. My purpose in undertaking this project is to create a resource that enables musicians to improve their improvisational skills.
There are several executables in the bin directory.
The one to run is replayer_gui.rs.
When you start the program, it will automatically identify all MIDI devices attached to your computer. If there is more than one, it will ask you to select one to use. When it starts, it will simply let you play your instrument, without any response. You can select one of the response algorithms to produce a response after you stop playing for an amount of time specified by the delay slider. (Default is 1.5 seconds.) At that point, it will compose and perform a response.
This program is very much a work in progress. Contributions are welcome - see the Issues page for ideas.
At some point, I plan to change the name - this originated as a TCP server for use with Sonic Pi, until I decided I preferred a standalone program.
To compile and execute the program, run the following at the command line:
cargo run --bin replayer_gui --release
The --release is very important - sound quality often suffers if compiler optimizations aren't enabled.
- Thank you to the authors of fundsp, midir, midi-msg, and cpal, who made it possible and practical for me to create this crate.
- Thank you to Mark Goadrich and Andy Morgan for numerous suggestions for improvements and helpful features.
