mcp_opendaw_create_irish_trad
Generate Irish trad accompaniment with bodhrán and feet stomp patterns for reels, jigs, hornpipes, and more. Supports tune types with specific meters and rhythmic frameworks.
Instructions
Create an Irish traditional music accompaniment — bodhrán + feet for session tunes.
Irish traditional music (trad) is defined by its tune types, each with a characteristic meter and feel. The bodhrán (frame drum) and feet stomp provide the rhythmic foundation in a session. Unlike most percussion patterns, Irish accompaniment is minimal — the rhythm is carried by the melody's phrasing, and the bodhrán supports rather than drives.
tune types: "reel" — 4/4, straight 8th notes. The most common tune type. Bodhrán: downbeat + offbeat pattern. 4 beats per bar. 2 bars per phrase (AA pattern). Bright, driving. "jig" — 6/8, triplet feel. Groups of 3 eighth notes. Bodhrán: accent on beat 1 and 4 (the two downbeats of 6/8). 2 bars per phrase. Lilting, rolling feel. "hornpipe" — 4/4, dotted rhythm. 8ths are swung (long-short). Bodhrán: similar to reel but with swung feel. 2 bars per phrase. Bouncy, maritime feel. "slip_jig" — 9/8, triplet feel in 3 groups of 3. Rare, ethereal. Bodhrán: accent on 1, 4, 7. 2 bars per phrase. Dancing on air, Turlough O'Carolan style. "polka" — 2/4, fast and punchy. Common in Kerry/Sliabh Luachra. Bodhrán: strong 1 and 2. Simple, driving. 2 bars per phrase. Fast dance, march-like. "slide" — 12/8, similar to jig but faster and longer groups. Bodhrán: accent on 1, 4, 7, 10. 2 bars per phrase. Sliabh Luachra region. Fast, lilting.
Args: tune_type: Tune type (reel, jig, hornpipe, slip_jig, polka, slide). bars: Number of bars (4-32, even). velocity: Base velocity 0-1. unit_index: AU index. track_index: Note track index. start_beat: Starting beat position. bodhran_pitch: Bodhrán (frame drum) MIDI pitch (36 = C1). feet_pitch: Feet stomp MIDI pitch (40 = E1). hh_pitch: Hi-hat/brush MIDI pitch (42 = F#1).
Returns notes created, tune type info, meter, and pattern breakdown.
