This web scraper extracts the audio files from Madeon's Adventure Machine, found at http://www.madeon.fr/adventuremachine/ and written by http://wemakeawesomesh.it/. The scraper was originally written so I could import said audio files into Ableton Live and build a jam session for my Novation Launchpad Mini. In April 2015 I shared the audio files via Dropbox and received significant interest from the /r/edmproduction, /r/ableton, and /r/abletonlive subreddits. That link usually gets a weekly message of gratitude; when Adventure Machine is reposted, I get a lot more. I am grateful for the attention my code doodle received so I am comitting this repo for public consumption and updated it for python3 use. If you haven't listened to Madeon's Adventure album, it is excellent!

Ableton Live Set

The Ableton Live project is called Madeon - Adventure Machine Jam Project and provides a rough sketch of how I would setup the midi mappings and organize my tracks. I doubt I would perform with this setup because the stops and view change is a mess, and developing horizontal scenes would make phrasing better.

This set was built in Ableton Live 9 Standard 64-bit (9.2.3 Build)
