MMAMusical MIDI Accompaniment is a versatile accompaniment generator that creates MIDI tracks for a soloist to perform over from a user-supplied file containing chords and MMA directives. It comes with an extensive user-extendable library with a variety of patterns for various popular rhythms, detailed user manuals, and several demo songs.
