[ANN] pyknon: Simple Python library to generate music in a hackerfriendly way.

Pyknon is a simple music library for Python hackers. With Pyknon you
can generate Midi files quickly and reason about musical proprieties.
It works with Python 2.7 and 3.2.

Pyknon is very simple to use, here's a basic example to create 4 notes
and save into a MIDI file::

from pyknon.genmidi import Midi
from pyknon.music import NoteSeq

notes1 = NoteSeq("D4 F#8 A Bb4")
midi = Midi(1, tempo=90)
midi.seq_notes(notes1, track=0)
midi.write("demo.mid")


It's available on PyPI and its homepage is
http://kroger.github.com/pyknon/

Pedro

I'll check it out. It probably fits into a whole software
ecosystem that you're putting together ...

It's a crowded area, e.g. my midi stuff is at:
http://www.pjb.com.au/midi/index.html
and I'd probably do the above example by:
~> muscript -midi <<EOT >demo.mid
| 3/4 2.0
=1 treble 4 D 8 [F# A] 4 Bb
EOT
see:
http://www.pjb.com.au/muscript/index.html
but also relevant would be my MIDI.py, see:
http://www.pjb.com.au/midi/MIDI.html
which is also available in call-compatible Lua version:
http://www.pjb.com.au/comp/lua/MIDI.html
and is closely related to the Perl CPAN module.

You could consider posting Pyknon to comp.music.midi ;
it's very low traffic, but some real gurus lurk there.

All the best with your music,
Peter
