        Given it a chord progression, get a MIDI file!
        
        Take your MIDI file, drop it into your favorite DAW and [make a beat!](https://clyp.it/drltahki) Or [two](https://clyp.it/f0g1ko5b).
        
        ## Installation
        
            $ pip install chords2midi
        
        ## Usage
        
            $ c2m I V vi IV --key C
            $ ls
            C-I-V-vi-IV.mid
        
        More usage:
        
            $ c2m I V vi iii IV I IV V --key D --bpm 128 --octave 5 --duration .25 # Pachabel's Canon in D, Staccato EDM Version
            $ ls
