## demo

## install

must install aubio and sox first.
also you need lua (5.1+).

```bash
> sudo apt install aubio-tools sox
```

to make movies you also need `ffmpeg`, `imagemagick`, and `audiowaveform`.


```bash
> sudo apt install ffmpeg audiowaveform imagemagick
```

## usage

```
NAME
 
    dnb.lua - generative drum & bass

  --input-tempo value
      tempo of input file (defaults to determine automatically)
 
  -o, --output string
      output filename
 
  --make-movie
      creates movie (SLOW, and requires audiowaveform, ffmpeg, imagemagick)
 
  -b, --beats value
      number of beats
 
  -t, --tempo value
      tempo of generated beat
 
  -d, --debug
      debug mode
 
  --no-logo
      don't show logo
 
  --global-lfo
      modulate every probability by a global lfo (random)

      probability of slow down (0-100%, default 1%)
 
  --reverb value
      probability of adding reverb tail to kick/snare (0-100%, default 2%)
 
  --deviation value
      probability of deviating from base pattern (0-100%, default 30%)
 
  --kick value
      probability of snapping a kick to down beat (0-100%, default 80%)
 
  --kick-mix value
      volume of added kick in dB (default -6)
