== About ==
PyDaw is a python library to mess with Digital Audio Workstation files.
Currently supported:
* FL Studio
Planned support:
* LMMS
* Cakewalk
* MIDI
=== FL Studio ==
Currently it is read only and only has useful functions for determining
the dependencies of an .flp file, because that's all I need it for at
the moment.
However the loading already knows a LOT more information about the
project. In fact it knows pretty much everything about it and just
needs some numbers to be cleaned up in order for the information
to be useful. In other words, adding more functionality to this
library is possible without more intimate knowledge of the file
format.
In the future I hope to provide editing and saving support.
=== LMMS ===
LMMS is open source and uses an XML project file so should be a piece of
cake to add support for.
=== MIDI ===
MIDI support should be not too hard with the use of a midi library.
Auto-rendering would be an interesting problem to solve.
=== Cakewalk ===
I haven't done any research on this yet.
== Installation ==
python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install
== Example usage ==
import daw
f = daw.load("some_project.flp")
print("Beats per minute: %i" % f.tempo())
if f.title() != None:
print("Project title: %s" % f.title())
stuff = (
("Generators", f.generators()),
("Samples", f.samples()),
("Effects", f.effects()),
)
for label, lst in stuff:
print("\n%s:\n---------" % label)
for item in lst:
print(item)
