| ABSTRACT: Since 1982, Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) has been a standard for communication and storage between electronic musical instruments. Most modern computers can interpret the sequence of sound events in a MIDI file and play back the music. Many graphical composition packages have been developed using MIDI. They provide a broad range of manipulation tools. Often, too many make it difficult to find any particular transformation in the mix. Approaching the problem from the other direction, I have designed a series of seven simple, algorithmic music transformations in Perl, which support simple MIDI composition. The transformations are interfaced through the World Wide Web, permitting users to manipulate MIDI files through their Web browser. The MIDI files can then be played or used as the basis for additional composition |
