LOCAL MUSIC TOOL FOR MAC

Hear the song.Change the parts.

Let Codex guide the setup.

Sunofriend listens to separate drums, bass, keys, vocals and other song parts. It gives you editable MIDI and a clean instrumental interpretation you can hear before opening your music software.

AUDIO STAYS ON YOUR MAC
FIRST RESULT IS AUTOMATIC
YOU CAN GO DEEPER LATER

You do not need to understand Python.You need a Mac and Codex with local workspace access for the guided route. To use your own song, you also need music you are allowed to process.

01 / EASIEST WAY IN

INSTALL THE GUIDE BEFORE THE TOOL.

Give this job to Codex.

The Sunofriend skill tells an AI coding agent what the tool can do, what must stay local and which questions to ask before it changes anything on your Mac.

TURN 1 / INSTALL THE SKILL

Use $skill-installer to install the official Sunofriend skill from:
https://github.com/N9-Developer-Empowerment/sunofriend/tree/main/skills/sunofriend

Do not install the Sunofriend app or any audio dependencies yet. Tell me when the skill is available, then stop.

Paste this into Codex with local workspace access. A normal ChatGPT conversation can explain the steps, but it cannot quietly run commands or inspect files on your Mac.

TURN 2 / USE SUNOFRIEND

Use $sunofriend to help me try Sunofriend on this Mac.

Use the installed skill, not a generic audio workflow. Start by inspecting what is already available and explain what you would need to change. If setup is needed, ask before preparing the source, show me the exact prepared commit, then ask again before installing that reviewed commit. Then offer me three routes:
1. use my existing authorised WAV stems;
2. help me obtain or export authorised stems (Sunofriend itself does not separate audio);
3. run the built-in copyright-safe demo in a fresh folder, then show me what it made.

For my first result, use the skill's beginner-safe route: the agent-oriented create command when I have stems, the demo command when I do not, or Simple / Make my song when I am operating the TUI myself. Keep my audio local. Label automatic output as unreviewed. Do not call the WAV an exact reconstruction or a release master.

If you cannot access local files or run commands, do not pretend that you can. Explain that hands-on setup needs Codex with local workspace access, or give me manual instructions only.

Paste this into Codex with local workspace access. A normal ChatGPT conversation can explain the steps, but it cannot quietly run commands or inspect files on your Mac.

Do not clone the repository first. If$sunofriend is not recognised after turn 1, restart Codex once and send turn 2 again.

02 / WHERE ARE YOU STARTING?

Pick the sentence that sounds like you.

After the two prompts above, Codex should offer these same three routes one at a time.

A / I HAVE STEMS

I already have separate WAV files.

Give Codex the folder location. It will check that the files sit together, confirm or ask you for the song key and BPM, and prepare a fresh output folder.

Best when you already export separate parts
Use music you own or can process

B / I NEED STEMS

I only have a finished song.

Sunofriend does not separate a mixed song. Codex can explain how to export your own DAW parts or use a separate stem service such as Moises or Suno, subject to that service's terms.

Moises export help ↗Suno stem help ↗

Never upload or process music unless you have the necessary rights.

C / I WANT THE DEMO

I want to try it without personal music or paid stems.

Let Codex run a copyright-safe synthetic stem project through the real automatic pipeline. Then hear the result and explore the included worked MIDI pack.

The built-in demo writes only to a fresh folder you approve.

03 / WHAT YOU GET

A song you can hear and parts you can change.

The first result is deliberately useful before you learn the deeper Studio workflow.

♪

Editable MIDI

Separate note files for the parts Sunofriend could interpret. Change notes, timing and instruments in GarageBand or another DAW.

▶

Listening WAV

A balanced MIDI-derived interpretation for hearing the whole idea. The source stems are level references, not audio in this mix.

↓

Starter ZIP

The individual MIDI, combined MIDI, WAV, receipt and short start guide in one clearly labelled automatic, unreviewed bundle.

04 / HEAR IT FIRST

NO PERSONAL STEMS NEEDED.

Start with your ears.

Run the built-in synthetic demo to see the actual automatic MIDI/WAV/ZIP path. Then hear “Out of Place” for the wider creative goal: musical ideas carried into a new MIDI-derived interpretation.

CURRENT BOUNDARY

Local alpha, honestly labelled.

It is not an online converter. This website never receives your stems. Processing currently happens on your Mac.

It is not a stem separator. Bring top-level WAV stems from your own project or an authorised third-party service.

It is not a perfect transcription. The WAV is a creative MIDI interpretation, not waveform reconstruction or a human-approved release master.
