datasets

Data sets for the machine music project.

Usage

Data sets ending in '_reduced.txt' are ready to be fed to the network. These datasets are created as follows:

• List of links retrieved using the chrome extension "Web Scraper" -> Stored in files called links.txt.
• wget is used to download all midi files to the 'midis' directory

mkdir midis
wget -i links.txt -P midis/
cd midis

• clean_filenames.sh is used to remove ugly characters from filenames

source ../clean_filenames.sh

• Finally, midi_to_reduced can be run to produce a _reduced text file

cd ..
cd ..
python midi-reduced/midi_to_reduced.py -i datasets/<YOUR_DATASET>/midis -o data_reduced.txt

• Mozart file created from S. D. Rodrian's site (zip at bottom)
