Magenta Studio - Ableton Live Plugin for Music Generation
Product Information
Key Features of Magenta Studio - Ableton Live Plugin for Music Generation
Magenta Studio offers five innovative tools for music generation: Continue, Groove, Generate, Drumify, and Interpolate, allowing users to create unique musical patterns, rhythms, and melodies.
Continue
Extends a selected clip by up to 32 measures, using predictive power of recurrent neural networks to generate notes that are likely to follow the input drum beat or melody.
Groove
Adjusts the timing and velocity of an input drum clip to produce the 'feel' of a drummer's performance, trained on 15 hours of real drummers performing on MIDI drum kits.
Generate
Generates a 4-bar phrase with no input necessary, using a Variational Autoencoder (VAE) trained on millions of melodies and rhythms to learn a summarized representation of musical qualities.
Drumify
Creates grooves based on the rhythm of any input, using the same dataset of drum performances as Groove to train the model to map from rhythms to performances.
Interpolate
Generates up to 16 clips that combine the qualities of two input drum beats or melodies, using a Variational Autoencoder (VAE) to map from MIDI to a compressed space in which similar musical patterns are clustered together.
