Hey @anigbrowl - great to hear. We can get you the MIDI - could you email me at hello at [our company name] dot com?
Hey @m1sta_ - as I said to @joeyspn, we might be able to get you the MIDI! Could you email me at hello at [our company name] dot com?
Hey @joeyspn - we might be able to get you the MIDI. Any chance you could email me at hello at [our company name] dot com?
Thanks a lot @Schwolop - will do!
This is actually something we have planned!
We'll see what we can do!
@flippyhead We're working on how to ensure that duplication is impossible - but at the moment it's incredibly, incredibly unlikely!
Ah - understood. The generation process is actually exactly the same on the homepage as on the dashboard, so what you're hearing is a genuine, non-curated example of our music!
We want both non-musicians and musicians to be able to use Jukedeck, and this affects the kinds of controls we present to the user, which are quite different from in Noatikl. And we also offer use of the site, and a bunch of music, for free!
Thanks a lot @dkroy - glad you like it!
Really interesting ideas @qq66 - thanks!
Thanks @colmvp. If you do make any videos using the music you make, send them our way! And if you're interested in creating long songs, how long would you like them to be?
Ha - we're a way off that!
Thanks @Dwolb - great idea, and this is actually one of the things we're thinking about. We'll be announcing new products as and when they're released on our mailing list!
Thanks so much Schwolop - glad you like the tracks you made! Do you have a site for what you're doing? I'd love to get in touch about a potential collaboration.
It does sometimes get a little repetitive - that's something we're working on improving. This is one of the reasons we've limited tracks to 5 minutes long for now.
Thanks so much @ianstormtaylor - really glad you like the experience and the music.

Totally agreed - it would be great to be able to tweak the generated sound. This is something we want to open up as a possibility asap.

That's a really interesting way of using this - to make music that no one else will hear. We might explore that some more!
Thanks so much - really glad to hear you made some music on our platform. I'd love to see the game you use it in when it's finished!
That's awesome to hear - thanks!
That's right - sorry, we've obviously got to improve our copy! The quota is only applied to downloads - you can create as many tracks as you like and listen to them for free.
Thanks for pointing this out - will get on it asap!
Thanks so much - really glad you like it.
Great - if you sign up on the site, we'll be able to let you know as soon as this is available!
Thanks so much - really appreciate the support.
Thanks so much - I'll be sure to pass that on to the guy who designed it!
Thanks for the suggestion - we'll look into this asap!
We're not doing it right now, but rest assured that we find that fascinating too.
My background is in music theory, and, as others have commented here, this is a question that there's no clear, agreed-upon answer to yet. Music theory can tell us what composers tend to do - which chords they choose should follow each other, which notes to use when - but it's not as good at telling us why those chords / notes sound good together.

In building Jukedeck, we're applying our own theories about what makes good music. And, like any musical composition, it's an experiment!
