PSHarmonize

Powershell Music framework

Create Music without musical knowledge

PSHarmonize let's you create Music without you having to know Musictheory or how to play an instrument.

How can it do that, you ask? It knows Music theory for you!

Intro

In Music we usually define a 'key' to which we relate what we play. A key is defined by its root note.

So for example if we take the key of 'C' we have 'C' as our root note. Now how would do we know what other notes we can use in the key of 'C'? So this is where music theory comes in and you would go ahead and apply intervals (difference between notes in numbers --> 1 above 'C' would be 'D') up until we are at the root note again, but one octave higher. One octave would be 12 semi tones higher than the root note. So in the case of 'C' it is a C again, but played higher.

Confused yet? Good! Cause that's what PSHarmonize is for!

Midi

You can Output your notated music to Midi. Check out this Video

Notation

The first version of the very basic (and maybe a little buggy) DSL is out!

Check the code here:

Design for the DSL

The DSL in my imagination would look something along these lines:

Song -BPM 120 -Content {
    
    Bar {
        Beat {
            Eight {
                C
            }
            Eight {
                D
            }
        }
        Beat {
            Eight {
                E
            }
            Eight {
                F
            }
        }
        Beat {
            Eight {
                G
            }
            Eight {
                A
            }
        }
        Beat {
            Eight {
                B
            }
            Quarter {
                C -Octave 4
            }
        }
    }

    Bar {
        Beat {
            Eight {
                
            }
            Eight {
                B  
            }
        }
        Beat {
            Eight {
                A
            }
            Eight {
                G
            }
        }
        Beat {
            Eight {
                F
            }
            Eight {
                E 
            }
        }
        Beat {
            Eight {
                D
            }
            Eight {
                C 
            }
        }
    }
}

That example would just play you the C Major Scale.

The Letters are functions that generate a note, that we can relate them to an octave. The Standard Octave for a Note atm is 3. That's why in the example above only the upper C of the scale has an octave defined.

So you could also send multiple notes in an eight, or a quarter or so. These in the background will just be midi note on sends.

The BPM defines how long the Sleep is between the eights. For the Moment I think it's enough to add Eights. Sixteenths could be added later.

The code above should create a script that runs the midi api calls and sleeps on its self. If done through foreach in the object directly there is to much latency. A standalone script however without any math for powershell to do in between should do the job.

If somebody has any suggestions or feedback on the above that would be much appreciated!
