Script It is a simple way to create music. With only a handful of commands specifying notes and chords, you can create expressive musical pieces and play them via the built-in synthesizer. You can also load in a MIDI file that will be instantly converted to a script that you can analyze and modify. Explore musical passages and phrases, transpose, copy, and paste them into your own script or even combine pieces of scripts to make a mash-up or medley.
Script It reads files that follow the standard MIDI file protocol (*.mid files) and synthesizes a musical output consistent with the musical performance described by the MIDI file, as well as generating a script from it. Some such files that show off Script It to best advantage are included in the zip package. You may also load in alternative tunings such as the Just Intervals or your own note tunings to use instead of the default Modern Even Tempered Scale. See the "ReadMe" file to learn how.
Script It is a companion app to MIDISynth. Instructions are included, as well as a few hand-created scripts for an example. After downloading the ScriptIt zip package, create a new folder for it and unzip the package into it. There is nothing to install.
You will find a ReadMe file and that some folders have been created alongside the Script It executable. These folders contain MIDI files and a few handmade scripts to get you started. Just click on ScriptIt.exe and the app will open, creating a couple of more folders in the process. The first time you use it, audio files are generated that allow you to play music with your keyboard.
When you have completed a script, for best quality you should generate an audio file with MIDISynth.
