For
Persian-music composers and FL Studio users
Worth noticing
Quarter-tone notes use MIDI Pitch Bend over a two-semitone range; users can disable it and round notes to standard pitches.

Field notes

The generator combines a melody with chord, bass, and drum parts, which can be exported together or as separate tracks. Its FAQ explains that quarter-tone notes use Pitch Bend and lets users turn that behavior off, rounding notes to the nearest standard pitch. The page also says instrument sounds are synthesized in the browser and are less natural than real instruments; MIDI export is suggested for final production.
