The iconic photo at 1:44 was certainly a moment in music history. If you have x-ray vision, you can see a lad in his late 20s in the top center (3rd row). He was apparently unaware that a photo was being taken :) I am that lad! This was my Forest Gump moment. I was at this NAMM show at the invitation of Dave Smith of Sequential Circuits. The reason I was invited was that I had developed a pre-MIDI hardware interface on the Apple II computer. With that hardware I had connected my Apple II to a Prophet 5 synthesizer (with proprietary digital interface). I had also created computer sequencing software to run on the Apple and "talk" to the Prophet 5. That system was on display in the Sequential Circuits booth at the NAMM show.

Is this an AI clone of your voice?

Creative blocks exist because having infinite options. Try using 1 sound 1 octave, 1 finger of human quantized expression. Limitation , constraint and flow. How cool is that you will be blown away. Dope yo.

It is strange why there aren't more A.I. MIDI generators, tbh. MIDI seems to be the perfect fit for A.I. generation - the entire lexicon of music is well understood and presumably easy enough to input to an A.I. generator. Instead, we get inadequate VST plugins (generators, players, etc) which never really seem to do much of anything useful. What exactly is the problem with MIDI and A.I. generation? Why haven't we seen a premium instrument using the tech?

It's really nice to see someone highlighting the creative possibilities of this new tech, rather than tearing it down like some futuristic version of analog vs digital.

When i was about 10, I asked my dad (a musician) a question he couldn't really answer, and that was "Will the world run out of music combinations". Bit of a weird question and I still dont know where it came from in me, but I guess it was a case of seeing all of the combinations as having a certain number of variations. What I didnt realise at the time, was that music is not just a sequence - the best music ever made contains emotion, personality, highs/lows, complete changes in tone and delivery and most of all, can actually be a signature. What I see here does blow me away, but sadly brings me back to being 10 and just answers that all gaps wil be closed, but with a lot of ingenuity and emotion lost to boot!! I am not a musician by any means, or a natual talent - Like my late dad, i am a dabbler, love music and am entirely self taught, with no actual abilty to even read music. For me though, that doesn't mean you cant be creative, expressive, make sound, or even glue bits together, to make something new, it is about creativity. I work in IT, have been investigating AI for ages, and looking at applications as well as risks. But for me this would just be a cheat. I dont care if what i create is crap, which is why i dont post any of it anyway! But! If i was to create something crap and use AI to make it good, who would really know if it was you or a bot. What this does, is completely mask individuality, creativity and true emotion of a human by creating an average based on a little experience. The only reality check for true musicians is plaing live, so I feel really sorry for my kids and the future, if using AI to make music sound real and make money, is the only true way left for humans to express one of the oldest ever forms of emotion, bond, story telling, and record of their ancestral history. TBH we are all screwed anyway, but this is just another early nail!!!!!

The 90's was golden.

Dude what?! How do you only

For composing music great knowledge is needed. By dispensing knowledge for tools you get something which is not needed at all. Cause it is devoid of imagination... just an unbiased algorhitm.

This video is like someone read my mind. Thanks for educating people on this stuff

Love the content, smooth lines and thank you! Subbed.

I just found you. It's like the video is good, then whoever is narriating's tone and delivery is just next level icing on the cake.

"Are you as blown away as I am?" "Check out how fire this one is." "Oh my god have you heard this song?" /deadpanvoice

My electronic music Love started with the SID Chip on my Commodore 64. Loved listening to Sid versions of popular music and Rock hits. Those Sid tunes got me into alot of diffrent bands because I wanted to hear the actual versions of some songs. Then when I got my Windows 98 PC in 1999. My neighbor had hundreds of midis and he gave me a copy of all of them. I still have them and even have some favorites on my phone. Electronic produced music is great and nor to mention all the DOS games that used midi.

You hit this all spot on. Love it! Gotta' give it a go. Thanks!

For anyone looking for the song, the video title is "John Coltrane & Stan Getz - Autumn Leaves/What's New/Moonlight in Vermont (Live 1960)".

Your channel feels like one with a million subscribers, because it's damn good.

All your content is really great! thank you!

I don't understand how people NEVER talk about Abundant Music, it has been around for ages and can produce full length songs. It requires some music theory knowledge to set it up to give you results that are specifically what you want, but if set up to your liking the results are always great.

Great video! Thanks for making this!

This is some quality work.

Man... I'm so subscribing to your channel, this is gooooooooooooooold info man, gold! Thank you so much!

Thanks, you taught me some things I didn't know that will come in handy. Sunscribed.

Bro, your video style is fucking awesome! I love the monotonous voice and little quirky exclamations and sayings sprinkled in too 😂 Good shit, I subbed. Also, this was a very enlightening video, thank you good sir

this video is such a gift - liked and subbed

Amazing! Thanks for sharing!

I love the energy in this video! Superlatives and exclamations in a monotone voice works so well! No, I'm not being sarcastic - I really think it works well. Thanks for making this great video!

Amazing Vid!! Love it!

Did this just become my favourite YT thing? I think so

This is a great video, thank you for the info and great fun presentation. I have been experimenting with using randomness as a precursor to melody - taking random samples which then become phrases, and then working them into workable melodies. Not exactly AI, but it's a way to get inspired by a phrase you might not have heard before. That's the beauty of something like this - not that it can generate it, because on it's face it's pretty vanilla - but to then take those vanilla ideas it generates and craft something from that, as from a lump of clay to a pot. Until AI learns the best musical ways to manipulate human emotion, AI music will remain flat/lifeless. It is we who breathe the life back into it.

Awesome video! It's amazing what tools we have at our disposal nowadays for music creation.

Great video! I like to use morse code to midi generator for making randomised rhytmic patterns. There are few generators online that work well by inputing text, which then translates to morse code and has few parameters for fine tuning the outcome :)

I liked that fat cat slouching on a music keyboard. The piano piece at the end was lovely. Thanks for sharing.

Worktation lol. Your voice clone was Almost perfect. This video is excellent, thanks for all the knowledge dropping.

It is good to see a lot of work still needs to be done for viable ai gen music.

Great video, thanks!

Such a soothing voice

Very good video!! 🎼🔥

Great video, thanks❤

Thanks a lot! Bests from Brazil!!!!

Amazing tute bro, keep it up!

For starters thank you for the knowledge

This video is fucking great. It’s actually one of the best and most fun videos about creating with AI tools that I’ve seen, and it’s given me some nice tips (I guess) for making music, or at least for starting messing with it. Well done!

I personally play with my digital audio worktation everyday. Sometimes I play with it while I'm thinking about MIDI.

most underated chanel

"Are you as blown away as I am?" No. I am not.

Hey, great video! Is there an AI that can generate chord changes based on my melodies?

As a producer, I think it can be good for generating ideas. A.I. can't be very artist and the results are mediocre, but it can definitely help out the process.

Amazing info dude. Thanks. How can i download the MIDI file generated in the Los Angeles Music Composer ?

great video.... really cool... 😍

is there a tool to feed it with my bass midi and it will help me to come up with a cool lead-melody?)

🔴I love so much the visual style of your midi story, simply boiled down to the essence🔴

You just got yourself a Subscriber!

Love the video; How do I learn Magenta Studio?

Out painting for midi … wowzaz… just need this for audio next

Thanks man!❤

Fortunately, AI is not yet ready to replace us for that. Yes, it works for 4/4 kick drum snare, a bass and an "identifiable" rhythm section. That is to say 3 tracks maximum including the bass. For the moment, the "AI", which is not an AI here because it only recognizes frequencies = note pitch. 0 emotion. Little nuance and no other distinction for groups of instruments, variations, voices and in other more "complex" musical styles. Finally, the work needed to convert a simple music seems much more time consuming and tasteless than a human transcription (which is much more fun to do).

mind blowing amigo

To each their own. Personally I can see it as a tool for components or inspiration. Pure music? Some people are easily pleased. It takes 6 months and 18 minutes per day of playing and practice to be in the top 15% of players. This applies to all habits we practice via rota ie: hand, eye, ear and frontal lobe coordination. If pushing buttons is music and it floats your boat, enjoy. I’m betting at some point you’re gonna want to sing or add some other live or human element to the random of AI. “Oblique Strategies” look it up…

Good stuff, thx.

Is there any Ai which converts any audio / MP3 / wave / etc to midi and puts into 16 channel

killer! thx for sharing ...

Very interesting. If I wanted to create say a 45-second track with a distinct, recognizable 8-second “intro” and “ending”, how would you go about it?

Awesome video.

awesome video. more content like this pls

There is of course a very simple explanation for that. The space of tunes is so small it is difficult to generate new ones that the music industry wouldn’t consider copyright infringing, especially if the model is trained on existing music, so the devs thought releasing it would open them up to a bunch of lawsuits. In other words, blame the overly aggressive music industry, especially universal music group.

Quality content, Thanks

totally just got me interested in magenta studio

Good stuff.

Nice vid bruh, Salute.

well done!!!!!

Its Amazing

😂😂😂 What a time to be alive! When satire becomes the gospel. Pure poetry!

Some years later the 90s arrived. Since you were talking about 1982, I'd have a guess at 8 years

Incredible

LA Music Composer sounds incredible, I would like to try but I didn't undersand a thing when you explained it. How does it work? Can you do a video with more detail on that please? Many thanks

This was great!

mr. Nobody: You drive final frontier. I hope your mind will be reinkarnated by forward entities.

There used to be a Midi Maker program that would assign realistic instruments to your midi inputs. I think it was taken offline years ago. It was way ahead of its time. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

This is a very elegant, probably the most elegant music Ai related video in the history of time so far. Voice over cadence, graphics, information outline, clarity! Very elegant work. Ai in my opinion is just another helping tool for musicians, I do not think it will do more than say LPX drummer or any of the sequencers in the market today. Ai will always complement workflows rather than be an independent music creation tool. Though music making, composing benefits of lots of tech today, still musicians find only meaning in their original ideas and concepts they generate. From my experience, the more Vsts, DAWs, controllers and synths I add, the more lost I am, as if help works backwards with music. The simpler I go the more melodic and creative I get. I’m curious to see what people will make of AI in the upcoming years. Thank you for this very elegant video.

great video! Hallo from Germany ;-)

I loved the video, +1

amazing video!. Can you make something similar but to make vocals?

Your voice is so pleasant.

Dude! You have no idea how perfect this video is! A thousand thank yous!

your sarcastic tone is funny haha

Thanks for the video and the charismatic presentation! Never thought about Ai and Midi before. Now I do.

Subbed ❤

this z gold fam!!!!!

This is sarcasm, we love it. I don`t think many realise its a piss take.

Wow🔥🔥🔥🔥

is the voiceover ai? there were times were it felt off. my first time on this channel

Awesome video🎉 Quality info that I didn't know before. I'm excited to start experimenting.

The joy of "making" music is supposed to be actually making it.

Or you can easily use ableton built-in audio convertor to get harmony, melody or even drum out of the sound.

I dont know man, i predict a Wave of new "Artist and musicians" will arise who wont know what they are doing but are still able to complete Tracks. I guess this will end in a cicle of Quality Regression because why would one learn the stuff in hindsight when the Motivation to do it was never there?

Just subscribed 💯

The reason these tools are likely falling away is because there isn’t yet an answer on who owns that rights to the generated melody, some of the T&Cs of these providers (like OpenAI) either disallow this or possibly imply they do. Who in your opinion were the composers, just yourself or yourself and the AI service? Food for thought

i use AIVA, its pretty cool too.

great video
