List of Generative Music Software
A) Online generators:
Abundant-Music (out music can be aesthetically awkward at times; free)
Otomata (ambient groove style music pieces; free - iOS versions are paid)
P22 music generator (simplistic and somewhat awkward music output; free; text2music)
Fake Music Generator (unremarkable aesthetic output, but free)
Wolfram Tone Generator (non-comm only)
B) Installed into my Windows machine:
-Music Generators:
cgMusic (aesthetically less than pleasing music pieces generated; free version output non-comm use only)
NodeBeat (good ambient groove; free - iOS versions are paid)
DiatonicComposer (free, but output midi overwrites each previously-generated file; need to be careful to rename after each generation)
pMusic jar archive version (good melody line and percussion, but chord progressions are monotonously similar across generated output)
Sleeping Dragon Forever Radio (ambient soundscape generation)
LPMG - generates random midi music one track at a time; laggy interface; free but rather rudimentary.
-Live Performance Art x Music software:
IanniX - looks damn complicated to use
-Support software:
-- Freeware MIDI Editors installed into my Windows machine:
Domino (Japanese version)
MuseScore
Notation Player
OpenMPT (unexpectedly changes speed of imported midi file)
Piano Roll Composer (can render WAV from midi)
Sekaiju midi editor (can music piece play as loop; uses midi1 instead of midi0)
Seq4 - a sequencer
Simple Piano - yup what it says
--Support apps required for my Windows machine:
ASIO4ALL
Coolsoft VirtualMidiSynth
SyFoneOne
LoopBE1 (non-comm use)
-- Sound Editors:
Audacity - free. Good.
(Back in the day, HammerHead by Bram Bos was really kicking. Heck, I just re-installed it for fun ! And who remembers CoolEdit96 ?! It did a good job of wav editing.)
