Classes

ChordSequenceRealizer
A factory class to produce a MIDI file (represented using the midi library package's EventStream)) from a sequence of tonal space roots and chord types.

events_for_chord(coord, chord_type, start, duration, origin_note=60, equal_temperament=False, root_octave=0, double_root=False, velocity=100)
Builds a chord's midi events (note on and note off) from a root coordinate and a chord type.

source code

render_path_to_file(filename, path, *args, **kwargs)
Convenience function that takes a path and set of timings and uses the harmonical to render MIDI from it and writes it to a file.

events_for_chord(coord, chord_type, start, duration, origin_note=60, equal_temperament=False, root_octave=0, double_root=False, velocity=100)

source code

Builds a chord's midi events (note on and note off) from a root coordinate and a chord type. Uses the chord definitions in jazzparser.harmonical.CHORD_TYPES to decide what notes to play.

The list is grouped into sublists, one for each note. For each note, three events are created: tuning, note on and note off.

Parameters:

root_octave (int) - octave to transpose the root to relative to other notes. Default (0) has the other notes in the octave above the root.
double_root (bool) - if True, an extra tone will be added an octave below the root. This will be the last event in the list

render_path_to_file(filename, path, *args, **kwargs)

source code

Convenience function that takes a path and set of timings and uses the harmonical to render MIDI from it and writes it to a file.

Additional args/kwargs are passed to the ChordSequenceRealizer init.
