- Digitized JSB Chorales dataset in JSON [https://github.com/czhuang/JSB-Chorales-dataset] problem: does not distinguish between held and repeated notes (so no gate information)
- Bach Soprano-line dataset only with note start and end times [https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/Bach+Chorales]
- Gregobase corpus preprocssed
- Gregobase uses a GABC format that encodes the melody and text…
BachScratcher Design ideas
- Spit out each of the four voices on a separate output CV and gate
- Spit out an arpegiated version?
- Tuning knob (global tuning?)
- tempo knob
ModularMonk Design ideas
- Only one voice: CV and gate output
- runing knob
- tempo knob
- random jitter timing
- have a vocodor: Analog VODER 1939 circuit? Some technical circuit details in this whitepaper
