Making music with an AI keyboard player

[Becky]

This is really interesting! Anyone tempted to give it a go?

AI Duet works by taking the notes you play using your computer’s keyboard and running it through a neural network that has been trained using machine learning with scores of examples. The neural net then looks for melodic and rhythmic patterns it can identify. Because it understands concepts like timing and staying in key from a hard data perspective — and not because it was ever explicitly told what to do — it’s able to then generate its very own organic melodies that, hopefully, sound like a direct response to your own.

That is very interesting Becky. Sort of like "Eliza" for music.

I have seen stuff like this over the years. Maybe the computing power is getting to some level to really do something with this.

"you mash a bunch of keys" -and get Rachmaninoff!

I gave it a try... very intriguing.

this could go a very long way but the ultimate would seem some way of accurately reading your mind and putting it to music .
