Introduction

Pyknon is a simple music library for Python hackers. With Pyknon you can generate Midi files quickly and reason about musical properties.

Pyknon works with Python 3.9. It probably doesn't work with 2.7 anymore.

Usage

Pyknon is very simple to use, here's a basic example to create 4 notes and save into a MIDI file::

from pyknon.genmidi import Midi
from pyknon.music import NoteSeq

notes1 = NoteSeq("D4 F#8 A Bb4")
midi = Midi(1, tempo=90)
midi.seq_notes(notes1, track=0)
midi.write("demo.mid")

See the documentation for more details.

Documentation

Pyknon needs better documentation. Meanwhile you can download for free my book Music for Geeks and Nerds that explains how to use Pyknon.

Pyknon's MIDI module is heavily based on Mark Conway Wirt's MIDIUtil.
