chuck - ChucK Music Programming Language

•    C++

what is it? : ChucK is a programming language for real-time sound synthesis and music creation. It is open-source and freely available on MacOS X, Windows, and Linux. ChucK presents a unique time-based, concurrent programming model that's precise and expressive (we call this strongly-timed), dynamic control rates, and the ability to add and modify code on-the-fly. In addition, ChucK supports MIDI, OpenSoundControl, HID device, and multi-channel audio. It's fun and easy to learn, and offers composers, researchers, and performers a powerful programming tool for building and experimenting with complex audio synthesis/analysis programs, and real-time interactive music.

DeepJ - A deep learning model for style-specific music generation.

•    Python

Recent advances in deep neural networks have enabled algorithms to compose music that is comparable to music composed by humans. However, few algorithms allow the user to generate music with tunable parameters. The ability to tune properties of generated music will yield more practical benefits for aiding artists, filmmakers, and composers in their creative tasks. In this paper, we introduce DeepJ - an end-to-end generative model that is capable of composing music conditioned on a specific mixture of composer styles. Our innovations include methods to learn musical style and music dynamics. We use our model to demonstrate a simple technique for controlling the style of generated music as a proof of concept. Evaluation of our model using human raters shows that we have improved over the Biaxial LSTM approach. Clone Python MIDI (https://github.com/vishnubob/python-midi) cd python-midi then install using python3 setup.py install.

teoria - Javascript taught Music Theory

•    Javascript

Teoria.js is a lightweight and fast JavaScript library for music theory, both Jazz and Classical. It aims at providing an intuitive programming interface for music software (such as Sheet Readers, Sheet Writers, MIDI Players etc.). A scale object (teoria.Scale), The scale object is a powerful presentation of a scale, which supports quite a few handy methods. A scale can either be constructed from the predefined scales, which by default contains the 7 modes (Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian etc.) a major and minor pentatonic and the harmonic chromatic scale or from an arbitrary array of intervals. The scale object also supports solfège, which makes it perfect for tutorials on sight-reading.
