After MONTHS of training non stop this neural network that started as a university project can now autocomplete midi files.

I programmed it to train in a very specific way: basically I made a program that would slice midi files to pieces(ex.2 Bars) and then feed it to the neural net work and the network had to predict the next section, not note by note but as a whole batch. It was trained for more than 8 months non stop with a big collection of midi files ranging from classical to pop. This is the result:

I wrote this little melody form 00:00 to 00:09 and everything after that was created by the network.

It's not a master piece, but it's something.

PS. I know this doesn't belong here, but i didn't know where else to post it.

 

As you said, not a masterpiece but surprisingly good.

 

very nice work. Not so much as a verse chorus bridge verse machine, but a nice idea randomizer that potentially has a ton of possibilities.

 

It can't understand what key it's in, most of the time that's why it plays wrong notes

 

If you guys send me some midis(not more the 20 seconds long) I could run it through it to see what it comes up with. Because sometimes it makes some really great stuff

 

I had a flashback listening to that.

 

If you can get it to learn keys and modes (modal/church scales) and when to modulate, it could become really interesting. This is the future and a lot of work is put into AI composition, as they say will be "personalized" for the individual in the future. We'll see if that will happen, or "real" musicianship will still be favored and valued.

 

Thanks. I'm trying to improve it. My goal is to get to the level where you can give it an idea and it transforms it to a section of a song (ex. verse,chorus,intro,etc) selected by the user.

 

sir mind if i want to send you some midi? so that it can make some music for me? and how did you made the neural network man? like for real? i want to know everything if it's possible. like if i can access it in anyway or not. but he he pretty lazy stuff u fed it

 

This is actually kinda scary when you think about it. I mean.. I am a programmer and I only do music as a hobby, but the idea that so many good musicians may just become "obsolete" is terrifying.

 

It's not ready to be released yet, but if you want to send some midi I would be happy to run it through the proggram

 

I love it man, seriously.

Like somebody said, that key change, although not creatively incorrect, could be avoided if you "teach" it how to detect the right key before improvising over it.

Anyway, I think the result is really nice. Why don't you post some more examples, better yet, post some using famous songs!

Well done!

R.

 

I don't know how to teach it what key it's in. If i feed it scales then it's just gonna make scales when you give it an idea and ask it to improvise

 

This is it's best result yet.
I gave it the midi for the first 2 bars(8 seconds) and the result is mind blowing. It borrows out of key chords without sounding bad. This is a one in a thousand result.

Close to really good, imho.

 

Not sure either... So we'll let it here.

 

Thanks

 

"Things will happened if you make it happen."

I hope my little motivation quote will made me part of this great project/invention if you would bring it along the way

I'm heavily midi manipulation tools/utilities user btw. Thank you for your work/creation

 

At first, I thought that you posted this in the Humor section for some reasons but after listening to your demo, I realized this was not a joke.

As you said, this is not perfect, at least not yet but it gives a taste of what will be possible in a few years or even less. It's a bit similar to the 1st chess programs that were unable to beat a human chess master 40 years ago. We all know that this is no longer the case.

Very interesting and somewhat scary (reminds me of Terminator 2 when the machines learned how to think autonomously).

 

It is actually musical. Mindblowing stuff right here... This could and should be going places, PM if you want to collaborate to make this into a huge money making machine. I have got close connections to big investors here in Sweden.
