It didn’t work very well with NYC Speedcore (NSFW language).

I tried with klezmer and accidentally made the greatest song ever.

That’s pretty amazing. I want technical details!
I don’t know how long it’s supposed to take, but I think it was defeated by Halber Mensch.

Swing? Gallumphing is more like it. Listen to any swing classic from the mid-1930s onward and compare the pulse. I recommend the Carnegie Hall concert version of the Goodman band’s “Sing Sing Sing” or (for a dose of Barbarba Stanwick, Martha Tilton, and Gene Krupa") the “Drum Boogie” sequence in “Ball of Fire.”
I recall a BB post from several years ago about how someone had written a Python script that did this. The only sample I can recall is Guns N’ Roses’ ‘Sweet Child O Mine’, but oh man, what a choice. No joke. Try it.
All the Neubauten files (in FLAC or MP3) I’ve uploaded have been greeted with a frowny face. I win, machine.

I have it on good authority that it is meaningless if it fails to contain swing. Swing, apparently, is all that is required.
