<I>Musical MIDI Accompaniment</I>,
<FONT Face="Serif" Color="Navy"><I>MMA</I></FONT> ,<A NAME="tex2html1"
HREF="#foot201"><SUP>1.1</SUP></A> generates standard
MIDI<A NAME="tex2html2"
HREF="#foot202"><SUP>1.2</SUP></A> files which can be used as a backup track for a soloist.
It was written especially for me--I am an aspiring saxophonist and
wanted a program to ``play'' the piano and drums so I could practice
my jazz solos. With
<FONT Face="Serif" Color="Navy"><I>MMA</I></FONT> I can create a track based on the chords in
a song, transpose it to the correct key for my instrument, and play my
very bad improvisations until they get a bit better.
<P>
I also lead a small combo group which is always missing at least one
player. With
<FONT Face="Serif" Color="Navy"><I>MMA</I></FONT> generated tracks the group can practice and perform even
if a rhythm player is missing. This all works much better than I
expected when I started to write the program ...so much better
that I have used
<FONT Face="Serif" Color="Navy"><I>MMA</I></FONT> generated tracks for live performances with great
success.
<P>
Around the world musicians are using
<FONT Face="Serif" Color="Navy"><I>MMA</I></FONT> for practice, performance
and in their studios. Much more than ever imagined when this project was started!

Installing
<FONT Face="Serif" Color="Navy"><I>MMA</I></FONT> </A>
</H1>
<P>
<FONT Face="Serif" Color="Navy"><I>MMA</I></FONT> is a Python program developed with version 2.4 of Python. At the
very least you will need this version (or later) of Python!
<P>
To play the MIDI files you'll need a MIDI player. Pmidi, tse3play, and
many others are available for Linux systems. For Windows and Mac
systems I'm sure there are many, many choices.
<P>
You'll need a text editor like <B>vi</B>, <B>emacs</B>, etc. to create
input files. Don't use a word processor!
<P>
<FONT Face="Serif" Color="Navy"><I>MMA</I></FONT> consists of a variety of bits and pieces:
<P>
<UL>
<LI>The executable Python script, <TT>mma</TT><A NAME="tex2html7"
HREF="#foot353"><SUP>1.4</SUP></A>, must somewhere in your
path. For users running Windows or Mac, please check
<FONT Face="Serif" Color="Navy"><I>MMA</I></FONT> website
for details on how to install on these systems.
<P>
</LI>
<LI>A number of Python modules. These should all be installed under
the directory <TT><B>/usr/local/share/mma/MMA</B></TT>. See the enclosed file
<TT><B>INSTALL</B></TT> for some additional commentary.
<P>
</LI>
<LI>A number of library files defining standard rhythms. These
should all be installed under the directory
<TT><B>/usr/local/share/mma/lib/stdlib</B></TT>.
<P>
</LI>
</UL>
<P>
The script <TT><B>install</B></TT> will install
<FONT Face="Serif" Color="Navy"><I>MMA</I></FONT> properly on most Linux
systems. It assumes that main script is to be installed in
<TT><B>/usr/local/bin</B></TT> and the support files in
<TT><B>/usr/local/share/mma</B></TT>. If you want an alternate location, you
can edit the paths in the script. The only supported alternate to use
is <TT><B>/usr/share/mma</B></TT>.
<P>
In addition, you <B>can</B> run
<FONT Face="Serif" Color="Navy"><I>MMA</I></FONT> from the directory created by
the untar. This is not recommended, but will show some of
<FONT Face="Serif" Color="Navy"><I>MMA</I></FONT> 's
stuff. In this case you'll have to execute the program file
<TT>mma.py</TT>.
<P>
You should be ``root'' (or at least, you need write permissions in
<TT>/usr/local/</TT>) to run the install script.

can be created with any suitable text editor.
<P>

Comments</A>
</H1>
<P>
Proper indentation, white space and comments are a
<B>good thing</B>--and you really should use them. But, in most cases
<FONT Face="Serif" Color="Navy"><I>MMA</I></FONT> really doesn't care:
<P>
<UL>
<LI>Any leading space or tab characters are ignored,
<P>
</LI>
<LI>Multiple tabs and other white space are treated as single
characters,
<P>
</LI>
<LI>Any blank lines in the input file are ignored.
<P>
</LI>
</UL>
<P>
Each line is initially parsed for comments. A comment is anything
following a ``//'' (2 forward slashes).<A NAME="tex2html9"
HREF="#foot321"><SUP>1.5</SUP></A>
<P>
Comments are stripped from the input stream. Lines starting with the
C<SMALL>OMMENT</SMALL> directive are also ignored. See the
<A HREF="node20.html#comment">comment discussion</A> for details.
<P>
<H1><A NAME="SECTION00160000000000000000">
Theory Of Operation</A>
</H1>
<P>
To understand how
<FONT Face="Serif" Color="Navy"><I>MMA</I></FONT> works it's easiest to look at the initial
development concept. Initially, a program was wanted which would take
a file which looked something like:
<P>
<TABLE ALIGN="CENTER" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=5 BGCOLOR="OldLace" BORDER=3>
<TR> <TD>
<BLOCKQUOTE><B>Tempo 120
<BR>
Fm
<BR>
C7
<BR> ...</B></BLOCKQUOTE>
</TD></TR></TABLE>
<P>
and end up with a MIDI file which played the specified chords over a
drum track.
<P>
Of course, after starting this ``simple'' project a lot of
complexities developed.
<P>
First, the chord/bar specifications. Just having a single chord per
bar doesn't work--many songs have more than one chord per bar.
Second, what is the rhythm of the chords? What about bass line? Oh,
and where is the drummer?
<P>
Well, things got more complex after that. At a bare minimum, the
program or interface should have the ability to:
<P>
<UL>
<LI>Specify multiple chords per bar,
<P>
</LI>
<LI>Define different patterns for chords, bass lines and
drum tracks,
<P>
</LI>
<LI>Have easy to create and debug input files,
<P>
</LI>
<LI>Provide a reusable library that a user could simply plug in, or
modify.
<P>
</LI>
</UL>
<P>
From these simple needs
<FONT Face="Serif" Color="Navy"><I>MMA</I></FONT> was created.
<P>
The basic building blocks of
<FONT Face="Serif" Color="Navy"><I>MMA</I></FONT> are P<SMALL>ATTERN</SMALL>s. A pattern is a
specification which tells
<FONT Face="Serif" Color="Navy"><I>MMA</I></FONT> what notes of a chord to play, the
start point in a bar for the chord/notes, and the duration and the
volume of the notes.
<P>
<FONT Face="Serif" Color="Navy"><I>MMA</I></FONT> patterns are combined into S<SMALL>EQUENCE</SMALL>s. This lets you
create multi-bar rhythms.
<P>
A collection of patterns can be saved and recalled as G<SMALL>ROOVE</SMALL>s.
This makes it easy to pre-define complex rhythms in library files and
incorporate them into your song with a simple two word command.
<P>
<FONT Face="Serif" Color="Navy"><I>MMA</I></FONT> is bar or measure based (we use the words interchangeably in
this document). This means that
<FONT Face="Serif" Color="Navy"><I>MMA</I></FONT> processes your song one bar at a
time. The music specification lines all assume that you are specifying
a single bar of music. The number of beats per bar can be adjusted;
however, all chord changes must fall on a beat division (the playing
of the chord or drum note can occur anywhere in the bar).
<P>
To make the input files look more musical,
<FONT Face="Serif" Color="Navy"><I>MMA</I></FONT> supports
R<SMALL>EPEAT</SMALL>s and R<SMALL>EPEAT</SMALL>E<SMALL>NDING</SMALL>s. However, complexities like
<B>D.S.</B> and <B>Coda</B> are not internally supported (but can be
created by using the G<SMALL>OTO</SMALL> command).
<P>
<H1><A NAME="SECTION00170000000000000000">
Case Sensitivity</A>
</H1>
<P>
Just about everything in a
<FONT Face="Serif" Color="Navy"><I>MMA</I></FONT> file is case insensitive.
<P>
This means that the command:
<P>
<TABLE ALIGN="CENTER" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=5 BGCOLOR="OldLace" BORDER=3>
<TR> <TD>
<BLOCKQUOTE><B>Tempo 120 </B></BLOCKQUOTE>
</TD></TR></TABLE>
<P>
could be entered in your file as:
<P>
<TABLE ALIGN="CENTER" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=5 BGCOLOR="OldLace" BORDER=3>
<TR> <TD>
<BLOCKQUOTE><B>TEMPO 120 </B></BLOCKQUOTE>
</TD></TR></TABLE>
<P>
or even
<P>
<TABLE ALIGN="CENTER" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=5 BGCOLOR="OldLace" BORDER=3>
<TR> <TD>
<BLOCKQUOTE><B>TeMpO 120 </B></BLOCKQUOTE>
</TD></TR></TABLE>
<P>
for the exact same results.
<P>
Names for patterns, and grooves are also case insensitive.
<P>
The only exceptions are the names for chords, notes in S<SMALL>OLO</SMALL>s,
and filenames. In keeping with standard chord notation, chord names
are in mixed case; this is detailed in <A HREF="node8.html#sec-music">Musical
Data</A>. Filenames are covered in
