This feels like a joke, right? Short, generative midi clips, for real world money? I thought at first maybe the shop thing was like a visual gag, but, no, it's actually going to stripe.

There's a million better generative MIDI tools out there, and the vast vast majority are free. I can't fathom making this and not being embarrassed, let alone anyone actually spending money on the site.

I would normally reserve such harsh criticism but as sporkl points out, this seems to be some LLM generated drive-by money-grab mess.

I do worry that maybe OP is like a teenager and I'm coming off overly harsh, but even if that's the case, then OP needs to learn what actually makes a product differentiate itself and how to actually appeal to a target audience. This ain't it chief, as a musician, I find it actively offensive.

Would be curious to know how algebraic music theory is being applied here. Overall this seems pretty basic; no real voice leading, or even chords with more than 2 notes in them. Algebraic music theory runs pretty deep and I'm not seeing much of it applied here. I honestly can't imagine paying $7 for a two-voice, repetitive 40s long midi file.

Seems potentially LLM'd, account is new and I couldn't find any other sign of existence of the creator. They've also submitted this 4 times in the past month.

    Re, algebraic music theory: I'm working on videos explaining my approach to music composition. There's also some articles coming out soon on the website.

    Don't expect me to give all my secrets away for free; I'm fighting the LLMs here and if I just dump my math for you then they get it too.

    Yes this is an early version of the site. I am a composer and software engineer, working solo on this project so the initial feature set is sparse. That's why I openly asked you for requests.

    What are you looking for in composition tooling?

On my iPhone, when I press Audition, it looks like it is playing something, but I do not hear anything coming through the speaker.

    Is your mute switch in the "mute" state?
