# MusicGen
|
|
|
|
Generate electronic music without AI
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
- Rust 1.87.0+
|
|
|
|
## Build
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone <repository-url>
|
|
cd music
|
|
cargo build --release
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## TOML Configuration
|
|
|
|
Create declaritive songs with structured TOML:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cargo run --bin musicgen toml examples/enchanted.toml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### From Binary
|
|
```bash
|
|
./target/release/musicgen toml examples/enchanted.toml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Basic TOML Structure
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[composition]
|
|
key = 60
|
|
scale = "minor"
|
|
tempo = 85.0
|
|
measures = 16
|
|
|
|
[[tracks]]
|
|
name = "bass"
|
|
instrument = "sine"
|
|
volume = 0.8
|
|
|
|
[tracks.pattern]
|
|
type = "custom"
|
|
|
|
[[tracks.pattern.steps]]
|
|
time = 0.0
|
|
note = "C2"
|
|
duration = 0.75
|
|
velocity = 0.9
|
|
|
|
[export]
|
|
filename = "my_song"
|
|
format = "wav"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Definitions
|
|
|
|
- **Track** - Each track like a single instrument in a band (like the bass or drums)
|
|
- **Pattern** - The sequence of notes that a track plays.
|
|
- **Steps** - Individual notes in your pattern.
|
|
- **Velocity** - How loud to play the note (0.0 = whisper quiet, 1.0 = full volume)
|
|
- **Loop Length** - How long your pattern is before it repeats (in beats)
|
|
- **Measures** - Groups of beats (usually 4 beats = 1 measure). Like counting "1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4"
|
|
- **Tempo/BPM** - How fast the song goes. 120 BPM = 120 beats per minute
|
|
- **Key** - What note the song is "centered" around (like C major or A minor)
|
|
- **MIDI Notes** - Just numbers for musical notes. 60 = middle C, 69 = A above middle C. Or use note names like "C4" or "A4"
|
|
- **Duration** - How long a note plays for (in beats). 1.0 = one full beat, 0.5 = half a beat
|
|
- **Waveforms** - The "shape" of the sound. Sine = smooth/warm, Square = retro video game, Sawtooth = buzzy/bright
|
|
- **Effects** - Things that change how your track sounds. Lowpass = makes it muffled, Delay = adds echo
|
|
- **Time Signature** - How many beats per measure. 4/4 means 4 beats per measure (most common)
|
|
- **Chord** - Multiple notes played together. Like C major = C + E + G played at the same time
|
|
- **Arpeggio** - Playing chord notes one after another instead of all together
|
|
|
|
### Available Options
|
|
|
|
- **Instruments**: `sine`, `square`, `sawtooth`, `triangle`, `noise`, `piano`
|
|
- **Scales**: `major`, `minor`, `dorian`, `pentatonic`, `blues`, `chromatic`
|
|
- **Keys**: MIDI numbers (60 = C4) or note names (`"C4"`, `"F#3"`)
|
|
- **Pattern Types**: `custom`, `chord`, `arpeggio`, `sequence`
|
|
- **Effects**: `lowpass`, `highpass`, `delay`, `reverb`, `chorus`, `distortion`
|
