Reads text files and auto-generates music MIDI files.

Overview

CocoaMIDI is a simple application that reads in a plain text file that gives chords, timing, and volume commands, and generates a MIDI file playing the chords on a guitar in response.

For example, "E F# G# A B C# D# ^12^ E" plays an ascending E major scale.

CocoaMIDI is public domain. I am quite open to adding features. Or you can also add them yourself :). Source code and a tutorial are available at: http://www-personal.umich.edu/~pdorman/cocoaMIDI/index.html

Exactly what I've been searching for since ages!!! It accepts every format I try, even unlisted ones such as: "A, B, E, D, F#, G" for instance. So useful, if you already have written a song and want a basic midi track to start a recording session (with Pro-Tools in my case) or a raw track to build up a score for copyright matters. I worship you! :-D
