+# MIDI Tools
+
+A web-based MIDI processing suite for analyzing, editing, and transforming MIDI files. Upload a MIDI file and apply various tools through an intuitive browser interface with full undo support.
+
+## Features
+
+- **File Analysis** — Automatic breakdown of tracks, channels, tempo, time signature, and note/event counts
+- **Piano Roll** — Visual note display when clicking a track
+- **MIDI Playback** — In-browser playback with SoundFont support
+- **Track Editing** — Change channel assignment and instrument per track
+- **Track Management** — Delete or merge tracks
+- **Processing Tools:**
+  - **Bake Tempo** — Flatten tempo changes into a fixed BPM
+  - **Monofy** — Split polyphonic tracks into separate monophonic tracks
+  - **Remove Redundancy** — Strip duplicate control changes and redundant messages
+  - **Velocity Fix** — Remap note velocities into a target min/max range
+  - **Convert to Type 0** — Merge all tracks into a single Type 0 MIDI file
+- **Undo History** — Every operation is undoable
+- **Download** — Export the edited MIDI file at any point
+
+## Deploying with Docker
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/) and [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/)
+
+### Quick Start
+
+```bash
+cd server
+docker compose up -d
+```
+
+The application will be available at **http://localhost:8000**.
+
+### Build and Run Manually
+
+```bash
+cd server
+docker build -t midiedit .
+docker run -d -p 8000:8000 --restart unless-stopped --name midiedit midiedit
+```
+
+### Configuration
+
+| Variable | Default | Description |
+|----------|---------|-------------|
+| Port mapping | `8000:8000` | Change the first port to serve on a different host port (e.g. `80:8000`) |
+
+To change the port in `docker-compose.yml`:
+
+```yaml
+services:
+  midiedit:
+    build: .
+    ports:
+      - "80:8000"
+    restart: unless-stopped
+```
+
+## Running without Docker
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Python 3.10+
+
+### Setup
+
+```bash
+cd server
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+uvicorn app.main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000
+```
