Better music means more polished games. Random generators are fantastic for inspiration, even to hardcore composers. Compiled with the help of Zeik and ChainedLupine in the LD chatroom.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">These are all free except Easy Music Composer, and ACS which is shareware and in my opinion is amazingly useful even without a pro license. For me at least, ACS has an almost 1:1 ratio of success; it prompts immediate inspiration. I\u2019ve personally found Wolframtones to produce quite meaningful ideas as well<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/codeminion.com\/blogs\/maciek\/2008\/05\/cgmusic-computers-create-music\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-216111\"><img alt=\"music_2\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-216111\" height=\"139\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/music_2.jpg\" width=\"234\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/codeminion.com\/blogs\/maciek\/2008\/05\/cgmusic-computers-create-music\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/codeminion.com\/blogs\/maciek\/2008\/05\/cgmusic-computers-create-music\/<br\/>\n<\/a>Kindly suggested by AdventureIslands in the comments below.
