Major role mapping and synthesis improvements
Role Mapping Rewrite: - Replace naive hard thresholds with scored feature analysis - Extract comprehensive track features (polyphony, repetition, phrase continuity) - Add melody vs accompaniment separation logic - Competitive role allocation with fallback handling - Support for 6 roles: bass, drone, ostinato, texture, accents, melody Chord Detection & Polyphony: - Extract chord events from simultaneous notes (50ms window) - Add ChordEvent type with multiple pitches - SynthesisEngine supports both single notes and chords - Drone/texture layers use chords, others remain monophonic Feature Extraction: - medianPitch, pitchRange, noteDensity analysis - polyphonyRatio calculation via note overlap detection - repetitionScore using 4-note pattern matching - phraseContinuity detection via stepwise motion - register classification (low/mid/high) This should dramatically improve "sounds like the song" recognition by using actual musical features instead of arbitrary cutoffs. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

# MOTIF Implementation Status & Roadmap
|
||||
|
||||
**Current Status**: MVP functional with real MIDI search, parsing, and procedural synthesis
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## ✅ What's Been Built
|
||||
|
||||
### Backend API (Express + TypeScript)
|
||||
|
||||
**Endpoints:**
|
||||
- `GET /api/midi/search?q=song` - Multi-source MIDI search
|
||||
- `GET /api/midi/fetch?u=url` - CORS proxy with validation and caching
|
||||
- `GET /health` - Service health check
|
||||
|
||||
**Architecture:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
server/src/
|
||||
├── adapters/ # Search source implementations
|
||||
│ ├── BitMidiAdapter # HTML parsing for bitmidi.com
|
||||
│ └── DongraysAdapter # HTML parsing for dongrays.net
|
||||
├── services/
|
||||
│ ├── MIDISearchService # Orchestrates multi-source search
|
||||
│ └── MIDIFetchService # Downloads, validates, caches MIDI
|
||||
└── utils/
|
||||
└── ScoreUtils # Confidence scoring & quality assessment
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Features:**
|
||||
- **Confidence Scoring**: Token matching, quality penalties (karaoke, broken files)
|
||||
- **Disk Caching**: SHA256-hashed files with JSON index
|
||||
- **Validation**: MIDI header checks, file size limits (10MB max)
|
||||
- **Error Handling**: Timeouts, graceful fallbacks
|
||||
- **Deduplication**: Removes duplicate results across sources
|
||||
|
||||
### Frontend (TypeScript + Vite + Web Audio)
|
||||
|
||||
**Architecture:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
src/
|
||||
├── core/
|
||||
│ ├── MotifEngine # Main orchestrator
|
||||
│ └── RoleMapper # MIDI track → synthesis role assignment
|
||||
├── midi/
|
||||
│ ├── MIDIProcessor # Feature extraction (tempo, density, etc.)
|
||||
│ └── MIDIParser # @tonejs/midi wrapper
|
||||
├── synthesis/
|
||||
│ └── SynthesisEngine # Pure Web Audio procedural synthesis
|
||||
├── services/
|
||||
│ └── MIDIService # Backend API client
|
||||
└── types/
|
||||
└── index # TypeScript interfaces
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Synthesis Pipeline:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
Song Name → MIDI Search → Parse Events → Role Assignment → Web Audio Synthesis
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Integration Flow
|
||||
|
||||
1. **User enters song name** → `MotifEngine.generateFromSong()`
|
||||
2. **MIDI Search** → `MIDIService.search()` → Backend `/search` endpoint
|
||||
3. **Multi-source search** → BitMidi + Dongrays adapters in parallel
|
||||
4. **Result ranking** → Confidence scoring, deduplication
|
||||
5. **MIDI Fetch** → `MIDIService.fetchMIDI()` → Backend `/fetch` with caching
|
||||
6. **MIDI Parsing** → `@tonejs/midi` → Normalized `NoteEvent[]` array
|
||||
7. **Role Assignment** → `RoleMapper` → Bass/Drone/Ostinato/Texture/Accents
|
||||
8. **Web Audio Synthesis** → `SynthesisEngine` → Real-time procedural audio
|
||||

## 🔧 How It Actually Works
|
||||
|
||||
### MIDI Resolution Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
**Sources (MVP):**
|
||||
- **BitMidi**: Regex parsing of search results, direct `.mid` links
|
||||
- **Dongrays**: Similar approach, handles download endpoints
|
||||
- **Synthetic Fallback**: Hash-based procedural generation if search fails
|
||||
|
||||
**Scoring Heuristics:**
|
||||
- Token matching between query and title
|
||||
- Penalties for "karaoke", "vocal", "broken"
|
||||
- Bonus for direct `.mid` links
|
||||
- Source preference (BitMidi slightly favored)
|
||||
|
||||
### Role-Based Synthesis
|
||||
|
||||
**Role Assignment:**
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Heuristic rules:
|
||||
pitch < 48 + short notes = Bass
|
||||
long duration > 2s = Drone
|
||||
short + repetitive = Ostinato
|
||||
high velocity = Accents
|
||||
everything else = Texture
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Synthesis Per Role:**
|
||||
- **Bass**: Square wave, lowpass filter, punchy envelopes
|
||||
- **Drone**: Sawtooth, bandpass, sustained notes
|
||||
- **Ostinato**: Triangle, highpass, rhythmic patterns
|
||||
- **Texture**: Sine, bandpass, atmospheric
|
||||
- **Accents**: Sine, peaking filter, sharp attacks
|
||||
|
||||
**Web Audio Implementation:**
|
||||
- Lookahead scheduling (100ms)
|
||||
- MIDI note → Hz conversion: `440 * 2^((note-69)/12)`
|
||||
- Velocity-sensitive envelopes
|
||||
- Automatic looping when MIDI ends
|
||||
- Per-note oscillator + gain envelope
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 🚨 Current Limitations
|
||||
|
||||
### Search Quality
|
||||
- **HTML Parsing**: Fragile regex-based extraction (not DOM parsing)
|
||||
- **Limited Sources**: Only 2 sources, no fallbacks if both fail
|
||||
- **No Metadata**: Can't validate artist, album, year matching
|
||||
- **Rate Limiting**: No request throttling or backoff
|
||||
|
||||
### MIDI Processing
|
||||
- **Simple Role Mapping**: Basic pitch/duration heuristics only
|
||||
- **No Harmonic Analysis**: Doesn't understand chord progressions
|
||||
- **Track Correlation**: Doesn't detect melody vs accompaniment intelligently
|
||||
- **Tempo Handling**: Assumes constant tempo, ignores tempo changes
|
||||
|
||||
### Synthesis Engine
|
||||
- **Basic Timbres**: Simple oscillator types, no complex synthesis
|
||||
- **No Dynamics**: Volume levels are role-based, not musically aware
|
||||
- **Limited Effects**: Only basic filtering, no reverb/chorus/etc.
|
||||
- **Monophonic Layers**: Each role plays one note at a time
|
||||
|
||||
### Frontend UX
|
||||
- **No Progress Feedback**: Search/fetch happens in black box
|
||||
- **No Result Preview**: Can't see what MIDI was found before synthesis
|
||||
- **No Controls**: Can't adjust synthesis parameters
|
||||
- **Error Messages**: Generic error handling
|
||||

|
||||
## 🎯 Next Steps (Prioritized)
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 1: Polish MVP
|
||||
**Goal**: Make current system reliable and user-friendly
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Better Error Handling**
|
||||
- Show search progress ("Searching BitMidi...", "Parsing MIDI...")
|
||||
- Display actual MIDI file found before synthesis
|
||||
- Graceful degradation with informative messages
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Improve Role Mapping**
|
||||
- Add harmonic analysis (detect bass lines, chord patterns)
|
||||
- Use track names/MIDI program changes as hints
|
||||
- Smarter melody vs accompaniment detection
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Synthesis Polish**
|
||||
- Add polyphony within roles (chords, multiple bass notes)
|
||||
- Better envelopes (ADSR with release tails)
|
||||
- Basic effects (simple reverb, subtle filtering LFOs)
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 2: Search Enhancement
|
||||
**Goal**: Higher success rate finding good MIDIs
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Robust Parsing**
|
||||
- Switch to Cheerio for proper DOM parsing
|
||||
- Handle dynamic content/JavaScript-loaded results
|
||||
- Add more MIDI sources (MuseScore, IMSLP public domain)
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Smarter Scoring**
|
||||
- Artist name matching with fuzzy string comparison
|
||||
- Duration validation (reject 30-second clips, 20-minute symphonies)
|
||||
- Key signature and time signature analysis
|
||||
|
||||
6. **Caching & Performance**
|
||||
- Cache search results (not just MIDI files)
|
||||
- Add request deduplication and rate limiting
|
||||
- Background refresh of popular files
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 3: Synthesis Sophistication
|
||||
**Goal**: More recognizable and musical output
|
||||
|
||||
7. **Advanced Synthesis**
|
||||
- Multiple synthesis modes per role (subtractive, FM, additive)
|
||||
- Tempo-synced effects and modulation
|
||||
- Cross-role interaction (bass and drums lock together)
|
||||
|
||||
8. **Musical Intelligence**
|
||||
- Detect and preserve harmonic progressions
|
||||
- Rhythmic pattern extraction and variation
|
||||
- Dynamic arrangement (intro/verse/chorus detection)
|
||||
|
||||
9. **User Controls**
|
||||
- Synthesis parameter sliders (brightness, warmth, density)
|
||||
- Role muting/soloing
|
||||
- Tempo adjustment and time-stretching
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 4: Production Ready
|
||||
**Goal**: Reliable service for real users
|
||||
|
||||
10. **Infrastructure**
|
||||
- Database for MIDI metadata and search caching
|
||||
- CDN for popular MIDI files
|
||||
- Analytics and error monitoring
|
||||
|
||||
11. **Legal & Content**
|
||||
- MIDI license validation
|
||||
- User-uploaded MIDI support
|
||||
- Integration with Creative Commons sources
|
||||
