    Re: locating the chorus in a MIDI song?

    On Nov 3, 10:20 pm, Joe Strout <j...@strout.ne twrote:
    We've got a need to generate short "samples" of songs that are in MIDI  
    format, to provide a preview function in a web app.  We'd like to do  
    something more clever than just taking the middle 20 seconds (or  
    whatever) of the song -- ideally, we'd like to find the chorus, since  
    that's likely to be the most easily recognized part of the song.
    >
    I believe this could be done fairly reliably by looking for patterns  
    in the MIDI file, though I'm sure there are plenty of complications to  
    this simple idea.
    Hi Joe, nice to hear from you from earlier discussion.

    Would it be applicable to mark one chorus by hand, and the program
    finds all the others?
Working...
