What is MMA?

“MMA—Musical MIDI Accompaniment” is an accompaniment generator. It creates MIDI tracks for a soloist to perform over from a user supplied file containing chords and MMA directives.

MMA is very versatile and generates excellent tracks. It comes with an extensive user-extendable library with a variety of patterns for various popular rhythms, detailed user manuals, and several demo songs.

MMA is a command line driven program. It creates MIDI files which are then played by a sequencer or MIDI file play program.

Gek S. Low has also written a nice little GUI front-end. He refers to it as a “lazy man's” program to make it easier for folks to enter simple chord progressions. It's written in python and tkinter. Get Lemma at http://xenon.stanford.edu/~geksiong/lemma.html.
