+It also takes a parameter `--ambient` to avoid suggesting percussion parts.
+
+`sigweb` is a very basic Rocket app. I suggest building it with `x86_64-unknown-linux-musl`. Once built take the `sigweb` binary and put it in a folder with an appropriate `Rocket.toml`. You can set a base URL with the environment variable `SIGWEB_BASE_URL`. See the provided `sigweb.service` for a sample SystemD unit.
+
+It provides a JSON API with the endpoints `/api/v1/{generate, generate_ambient}`.
