Python library for creating music

Music-Code

Music-Code is a python library for creating music. You can create musical notes, chords, progressions, melodies, bass lines, drum beats, sound design and full songs! It has most of the core features of a digital audio workstation (DAW). In addition to creating music, you can also generate HD waveform visualizations for images and video. Music-Code is integrated with MySQL and provides an analytics dashboard and Rest API to monitor system usage and data trends.

You can use Music-Code to automatically produce large audio datasets for use in deep learning applications. You can scan through different spaces of musical/tonal combinations, exporting each variation as a labeled WAV file. The long term purpose of Music-Code is to create vast musical datasets and build music AI.

Setup

Download Program Files

First, download the Music-Code program files here: Music-Code Program Files. Unzip and save the program files in a memorable location. Then copy the file path (you will need this in a moment).

Create Anaconda Environment

Anaconda is the ideal way to run Music-Code.

1. Install Anaconda on your machine
2. Create new conda environment named music_code
3. Activate music_code environment
4. Install the following requirements:

Installation

pip install music-code

Requirements

numpy==1.18.4 pandas==1.0.3 matplotlib==3.2.1 seaborn==0.10.1 soundfile==0.10.3.post1 scipy==1.4.1 sklearn==0.0 datetime==4.3 PyAudio==0.2.11 wave==0.0.2 mysql-connector-python==8.0.20 psutil==5.7.0

Set Program Files Path

1. Open your Anaconda3 folder, and locate the music_code installation. For my machine, the file is located here: C:\Users\wesle\Anaconda3\envs\music_code\Lib\site-packages\music_code\music_code.py
2. Open music_code.py, go to line 42, in the MusicCode init function, find the program_files_location attribute. Copy and paste the file path to your program files folder, which you can download here: Music-Code Program Files. Once this path is set, the Music-Code file system is good to go. The program files folder contains the Music-Code sample library and datasets. All the WAV files and images you create are stored in this folder.

MySQL (optional)

Connect Music-Code to a MySQL database to archive all system data and have access to an analytics dashboard. To create the Music-Code MySQL database, see the create_database.sql file.

Test

Run the tests.py file inside your conda environment to ensure the all systems are working properly.
