Does not work on Windows platform

[sksar]

I tried to run this in windows but it did not work as one of it's dependencies does not support windows..

The python-midi library is required by the midi_manipulation.py script.
But unfortunately the python-midi library requires the ALSA Sequncer which is only for Linux, so this does not work on Windows...

I tried to install python-midi, but it fails.. Upon investigation the setup code i found this

# currently, only the ALSA sequencer is supported
    if platform.startswith('linux'):
        setup_alsa(ns)
        pass
    else:
        print("No sequencer available for '%s' platform." % platform)

I think there is need of something else to be done so that it works across all platforms..

Try this: pip3 install git+https://github.com/vishnubob/python-midi@feature/python3

@llSourcell
maybe add to readme

### Dependencies on Windows with python3

    pip3 install pandas
    pip3 install msgpack-python
    pip3 install numpy
    pip3 install glob2
    pip3 install tqdm
    pip3 install git+https://github.com/vishnubob/python-midi@feature/python3

maybe this helps if you switch to tensorflow >= 1.0.0 

after that i get

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "rbm_chords.py", line 106, in <module>
    W_adder = tf.mul(lr / size_bt, tf.sub(tf.matmul(tf.transpose(x), h), tf.matmul(tf.transpose(x_sample), h_sample)))
AttributeError: module 'tensorflow' has no attribute 'mul'

so this helped me

You'll need to replace tf.mul with tf.multiply.
You'll need to replace tf.sub with tf.subtract.

my next error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "rbm_chords.py", line 127, in <module>
    song = song[:np.floor(song.shape[0] / num_timesteps) * num_timesteps]
TypeError: slice indices must be integers or None or have an __index__ method

change rbm_chords.py:129 to

          song = song[:int(np.floor(song.shape[0] // num_timesteps) * num_timesteps)]

btw to hide tensorflow warnings
add at the bottom of the import block

import os
os.environ['TF_CPP_MIN_LOG_LEVEL'] = '2'
