MIDI Rock: Stone
So I bought a MIDI Rock "Stone" joystick controller...
Querying a Music Theory Database
For a long time, I have wondered how to easily know what chords have a diatonic function in two different keys (modes). This is known as a "common" or "pivot" chord. Naturally, being a software engineer, I wrote a program to answer this for me! (tl;dr: the mode-pivot program)
Control Linux with MIDI
I decided to see if I could intercept signals from my MIDI controller and control my Linux machine. YES! (tl;dr: capture-midi)
Realistic Drum Grooves
I finally have the tools to create realistic drum grooves! (tl;dr: figured-syncopation & mp3s below)
Twelve-bar Jazz Practice
I stumbled upon this chart of 17 blues-jazz (jazz-blues?) chord progressions by Dan Haerle. Naturally, being a programmer-musician, I made a program with which to practice improv skills. (tl;dr: blues-progressions & audio below)
