Thanks! I'll think about the looped stuff. It can probably be controlled by the structure of the song so you could do it manually but it would be great to have a boolean for the generator as well.

Update 11
* The visualizer is improved with info about section types. * It is now possible to render Midi-files and "Compose" without having to log in for some browsers (newer versions of Firefox and Chrome) that supports workers, blobs, URL construction and types arrays. * There is also a new "Song Info" window where you can see more detailed information about the song structure and instruments.

Update 12* Experimenting with typed arrays for rendering wavs etc. in the client. Very cool if you could create your own instruments. I am probably going for a retro sound simulation like in musagi but maybe also samples later on. It is surprisingly fast for being Javascript * I have put the cpu-eating server down and just support plain midi-exports now. I've tested to set up timidity++ to be the default midi player and it is probably a better solution for rendering mp3s/oggs with soundfonts, like the server supported.

Very great tool!! There are so many settings that, even with the tutorials, is intimidating... May I suggest some ideas: - add a "loopable song" tutorial - more tutorial about how to create different atmospheres: epic / sad (with minor scale, etc.) / bouncy / creepy ...

Thanks Jerom for your comments! It is certainly true that there are to many settings I wish I knew how to create different atmospheres myself. Then I could write tutorials about it as well

A lot of it just comes down to musical genre stylings/entrapments, then fun variations in the lead instrument. Two-genre fusions (like choruses/verses that go back and forth, not necessarily mix together) tended to work okay, and give a decent variety about the beat patterns involved. Now, seeding a result for something like a guitar solo? That would be a pain in the butt to do.
I worked on something similar to this on my old computer before it crashed, but never could get my sound samples back to recreate it, sadly. I called it the DMG (Dynamic Music Generator).
Creating atmosphere usually just comes from the right mix of scales (high/low; main/backup) and tempo; the actual musical stylings tend to go more or less with the setting more than the mood. You don't find tropical or rave beats associated with castles, for instance; it's usually more opera, folk, or waltz.

Thanks baconman! I hope you make another DMG I tried to make a mysterious song with it, using some custom harmony:

Update 13
* Added some new Midi export options for removing channel messages and merging everything into just 5 channels (melody, inner 1/2, bass and percussion). This is good when you want to import a Midi into another program and do the mixing yourself.

Update 14 * Added custom phrase harmonic rythms (in the "Details" tab). This opens up more parameters to the harmony planner.

Update 15 * Automatic song structures now add parts without melody * Added more phrase types and added more phrase groups to the default random set
I plan to add more control over melody and bass lines and also what motifs to use for the voice lines. All the tutorials also need to be updated to the current "light" version of the server.

I may have missed something but I went to try this out today and I'm not seeing an Account tab. Or a Feedback one for that matter. I am seeing a locked off Compose tab though.

nice If you leave the default settings everything sounds like the worst supermarket polka, but if you change the settings a bit the results can be very interesting. If you take the time to edit it yourself in another software it becomes a great tool nice job

I haven't updated the tutorials after I turned off logins and feedback on the server. Sorry about that

As an editor plugin in Unity for creating static songs, it shouldn't be any technical problems. If you want to use it as a library/prefab and compose dynamic music, I think that it will be more difficult since Unity only has a low level synth. You could go for playing pitched samples though.

looks amazing! I'm looking forwards to see the "compose" part of your program
