Can it recreate the soul of the musician pouring into the music though? That’s what I wonder

This is the question and why i have built it to be so adaptive at every point

Its also had me wondering whats more important the process of making something or its emotional impact

What i am wondering i think is the opposite

I think the emotional feel is going to be the easy bit. The resolution of music is quite low in a programattic sense. Midi is still used and was invented in the 70's...

Ableton is incredibly ridgid if you think about it properly. Human emotion codified in clips on a screen.

That was the moment i realised i wasnt building an integration in to a daw. Its too limiting

Lets not get ahead of ourselves though. Im currently running extensive testing that the human prompts generate coherent midi output. Its all working which is the astonishing thing but I havent used it yet.

I agree. Prompts that feed to instruments is superior to feeding to a daw.

I was about to ask what you honestly made of it! Im glad!

I cant wait to get it to a point where people can play with it and you'll be the very first!

Also another consideration from a production perspective

It was troubling me how youd initiate the process, so.... If you just start playing something its going to understand what youre doing and just start jamming with you

So what is it? Is it a daw? Nooooo fukn idea

It’s artificial intelligence 🤯

Something else that could be interesting is integration with sequencers like the torso 1, squarp, oxi one. To add another layer of complexity to it. Basically send midi messages to the sequencer who could add some flavour to what he already sent to the instruments. Basically treat the sequencer as another instrument

Yeah totally. I have the push 3 which similarly has a different mode of input - mpe grid....

So it already (as i think i told you) ingests manuals and understands every technical aspect of gear as soon as you plug it in. So it will cope with those devices. What happens as a result is anyones guess! 😂

node 9mo ago

Yes you told me about reading the manual.

If only the AI could clean up and sort the cables after a performance 🤣

Is it artificial?

Its just an emotional abstraction like language itself

Ai art. Ai music. That definitely earns its artificial badge. But this?

Honestly its such a magic rabbit hole i tell ya

node 9mo ago

Well artificial in the sense that it doesn’t come from a human. That’s the part I have difficulty with. Is it emotion or is it just replication of something that triggers an emotion

kyle 9mo ago

Well its curated.

Like. This started as just a toy for myself to make music with. And has evolved obviously 😂

But the fundemental basis remains that its curating and its just removing the technical barriers between inspiration and the end result

If your ideas are shit it will still sound shit, just technically perfect shit 😂
