Command line tool for generating and working with MIDI files.
atm-cli is a command line tool for generating and working with MIDI files. It was purpose-built for
All the Music, LLC to assist in its mission to enable musicians to make all of their music
without the fear of frivolous copyright lawsuits. All code is freely available under the

the libatm project, on which this tool relies. For

atm-cli is written in Rust, and thus requires the Rust toolchain to compile.
Follow the instructions at https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install to install the toolchain.
Once that is complete, clone the repo and compile the tool:
$ git clone https://github.com/allthemusicllc/atm-cli.git $ cd atm-cli $ git submodule update --init $ cargo build --release $ cargo run --release -- -h # show usage
To generate a single MIDI file from a melody, use the gen single directive:
atm gen single 'C:4,D:4,E:4,F:4,G:4,A:4,B:4,C:5' test.midTo brute-force generate a range of melodies from a set of notes and with a given length, use one of the gen * directive.
The example below will output the melodies to a Gzip-compressed Tar file, with a directory structure that guarantees no more
than 4,096 files per directory.
atm gen tar-gz -p 2 'C:4,D:4,E:4,F:4,G:4,A:4,B:4,C:5' 8 C4_D4_E4_F4_G4_A4_B4_C5.tarAfter generating a range of melodies with one of the gen * directives (beside gen single), use the partition directive
to determine which directory a particular melody was written to.
atm partition -p 2 'C:4,C:4,C:4,C:4,C:4,C:4,C:4,C:5'You can download existing datasets generated by All the Music, LLC from:
