Prompt:
I have a mcp tool to generate chord wav files at https://github.com/Misfits-Rebels-Outcasts/chord-synth,
use it generate a chord progression for violin "Am Dm G C" at 128 bpm 

const { renderJob, PRESETS, SCHEMA } = require('chord-synth');
const fs = require('fs');

// Render a WAV buffer
const wav = renderJob({
  preset: "C G Am/E F",
  bpm: 120,
  instrument: "piano",
  pattern: 1,        // Up
  enablePad: true,
  drumPattern: "poprock"
});

fs.writeFileSync('output.wav', wav);
