prompter: write an example of code that produces MIDI sounds to the tune of popular urban hip-hop

assistant: Creating a complete hip-hop track using MIDI code is quite extensive. However, I can provide you with a simple example using Python and the `mido` library to generate a basic hip-hop drum pattern. You can modify and expand upon this to create more complex patterns and melodies.

First, you'll need to install the `mido` library:

```
pip install mido
```

Now, you can create a simple drum pattern using Python:

```python
import mido
from mido import Message, MidiFile, MidiTrack

# Create a new MIDI file and add a track
mid = MidiFile()
track = MidiTrack()
mid.tracks.append(track)

# Define basic hip-hop drum pattern (kick, snare, hi-hat)
pattern = [
    ('kick', 36, 0),
    ('hi-hat', 42, 480),
    ('snare', 38, 960),
    ('hi-hat', 42, 1440),
    ('kick', 36, 1920),
    ('hi-hat', 42, 2400),
    ('snare', 38, 2880),
    ('hi-hat', 42, 3360),
]

# Function to create MIDI note messages
def create_note(channel, note, velocity, time):
    return [
        Message('note_on', channel=channel, note=note, velocity=velocity, time=time),
        Message('note_off', channel=channel, note=note, velocity=0, time=time + 120),
    ]

# Create MIDI messages for drum pattern
for drum, note, time in pattern:
    track.extend(create_note(channel=9, note=note, velocity=100, time=time))

# Set track end message and save MIDI file
track.append(Message('end_of_track', time=1))
mid.save('hip_hop_pattern.mid')
```

This example creates a simple 1-bar hip-hop drum pattern consisting of a kick, snare, and hi-hat. The `hip_hop_pattern.mid` file will be generated, and you can play it using any MIDI player or import it into a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) to further edit and expand upon the pattern.

Keep in mind that the actual sound of the MIDI notes will depend on the specific software or hardware instrument you use to play the MIDI file.

prompter: Can you please extend the code to write verse, pre chorus, chorus,verse, chrous, bringe and chorus. Make a function for each of those if they are repeating so I can adapt the order of the song

prompter: What DAW would you recommend? Is that like FL Studio? I've tried using FL Studio before but had trouble making the notes play instruments.

assistant: Here is an example of code that produces MIDI sounds to the tune of popular urban hip-hop using the Python library midiutil:

```python
import midiutil

# Set up the MIDI file
tempo = 120  # beats per minute
duration = 2  # seconds
track = 0
channel = 0
volume = 100
program = 1  # Acoustic Piano
midi_file = midiutil.MIDIFile(1)
midi_file.addTempo(track, 0, tempo)

# Define the notes
notes = ["C5", "D5", "E5", "G5", "A5"]
durations = [1, 1, 1, 1, 2]

# Add the notes to the MIDI file
time = 0
for note, dur in zip(notes, durations):
    midi_file.addProgramChange(track, channel, time, program)
    midi_file.addNote(track, channel, midiutil.noteNameToMidi(note), time, dur * duration, volume)
    time += dur * duration

# Write the MIDI file to disk
with open("hip_hop.mid", "wb") as output_file:
    midi_file.writeFile(output_file)
```

This code creates a simple melody using the notes C5, D5, E5, G5, and A5 with different durations to create a hip-hop inspired rhythm. The midiutil library is used to create a MIDI file with the specified tempo, and the notes and durations are added to the file using the addNote method. Finally, the MIDI file is written to disk as "hip_hop.mid".

prompter: thanks

assistant: You're welcome! Is there anything else I can help you with today?

assistant: You're welcome!
Anything else that I can help you with?

assistant: Certainly! I can provide you with an example of code in Python that generates MIDI notes using the mido library to create a simple urban hip-hop beat:
```
import mido
import time

# Set the tempo of the beat
BPM = 120
# Calculate the duration of a quarter note in seconds
QUARTER_NOTE_DURATION = 60 / BPM

# Create a new MIDI file with one track
midi_file = mido.MidiFile(type=0)
track = mido.MidiTrack()
midi_file.tracks.append(track)

# Define the notes and velocities to be used in the beat
notes = [36, 38, 42, 46, 49, 50, 51, 52]
velocities = [80, 90, 100, 110]

# Define the sequence of notes to be played in the beat
sequence = [
    [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
    [1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0],
    [1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0],
    [0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0]
]

# Iterate over the sequence and add notes to the MIDI track
for i, beat in enumerate(sequence):
    for j, note in enumerate(beat):
        if note == 1:
            # Choose a random note and velocity from the lists
            note_number = notes[j]
            velocity = velocities[i % len(velocities)]
            # Create a MIDI message for the note and add it to the track
            note_on = mido.Message('note_on', note=note_number, velocity=velocity, time=0)
            note_off = mido.Message('note_off', note=note_number, velocity=0, time=int(QUARTER_NOTE_DURATION * 0.9 * mido.second))
            track.append(note_on)
            track.append(note_off)
    
    # Add a pause between beats
    time.sleep(QUARTER_NOTE_DURATION * 3)
    
# Save the MIDI file
midi_file.save('urban_hip_hop.mid')
```
This code creates a new MIDI file with one track and defines a sequence of notes to be played in the beat. It then iterates over the sequence and adds notes to the MIDI track using random notes and velocities from predefined lists. The code also adds pauses between beats using the **time.sleep** function. Finally, the MIDI file is saved to disk.

prompter: What are some other instruments that could be added to jazz this tune up?

assistant: Great question! Adding different instruments to the beat can definitely spice it up and give it a more jazzy feel. Here are a few ideas:

1. Saxophone - A classic jazz instrument, the saxophone can add a smooth, soulful sound to the beat. It can play the melody line or provide improvisational solos.
2. Trumpet - Another staple of jazz, the trumpet can provide a bright, brassy sound to the beat. It can play the melody line, provide harmonies, or solo.
3. Piano - The piano can provide a harmonic foundation for the beat, as well as add melodic lines and improvisation.
4. Bass - The bass can provide a driving, rhythmic foundation for the beat. It can also add melodic lines and solos.
5. Drums - Of course, the drums are already a part of the beat, but adding different drum sounds and rhythms can give it a more complex and interesting groove.
6. Guitar - The guitar can add both rhythm and melody to the beat. It can play chords, riffs, and solos.

assistant: Trumpets, strings, drumline snaress, vocal chops, upright bass, extra percussion.
