I'm happy to announce the release of JChordBox 0.5b !

JChordBox is a MIDI musical accompaniment generator software. It is a java 1.7 software.

Gives a chord progression and a music style (containing music templates also called grooves) and JChordBox generates a MIDI backing track.

main features
- build music templates from a MIDI file by adding markers to delimit each groove
- songs written in XML format (chord progression)
- mainly command line oriented : (GenerateSong, CreateStyleFromMidiFile, SongPlayer ...)
- provides java API for future WYSIWYG software integration.
- interactive text user interface called SongPlayer that can play MIDI files and JChordBox song (runs in terminal)
- french and english translations

Awesome, I was looking for something like this (to the extent of learning to programme to get it), albeit for the purpose of ear training.
Will try it out, and then share my experience here. Thank you very much for sharing this, eleander.
Looking for the ideal distro. NixOS?
