#2I like the concept and the framing of the demo is really cool, but the actual music generated in response to me doing basic things like playing a blues riff or a pentatonic scale was usually just a repeat of some fragment of what I was playing. It felt like something that could be built using a basic heuristic...

Agreed, it seems to either play a note you've played or pick a random interval. The interval and timing perhaps aren't truly random but it makes no difference to the listener's ear. Doesn't appear to have any concept of, or the ability to learn, scales, rhythm, or melody (or chords). Neat idea, but akin to playing piano with a 5-year-old (perhaps not as fun).

#4just tried this on my midi keyboard( web midi is awesome!) but the "AI music" response was very underwhelming and sounded bad.
I would be interested if "AI" can help me with different timbres based on the physical environment that music is playing using various sensor like air pressure, humidity, room resonance, maybe even heartbeat, perspiration ect. Make that a new dimension of information coded into the song along with pitch, timing, amp and timbre.

#5Style transfer and generative adversarial networks have worked well with images. How can these be applied to music?

It does seem like an interesting edge to explore doesn't it? ML techniques combined with spectral analysis could yield some interesting outcomes. The datasets wouldn't be too hard to find either - most people have pretty extensive digital music libraries.

Is that how they did it? Or is it just training some RNNs to repeat the same style back?

#8Definitely a work in progress. Was like having a goddamn cat following my fingers around the piano. No sense of rhythm or tonality whatsoever. Like, it objectively made whatever I was playing sound worse.
It may "respond" but it's a lot more like throwing electricity through a dead body than working with a competent duet partner.

#9I'm not sure if it is a reflection of my own lack of understanding of music, but it sounded like chaos to me. Garbage in garbage out though.

#10To whoever implemented this AI: Can you actually play music yourself? Your AI can't. I tried to play “Satori Maiden” (link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0c9bea_thaM ), and your AI only replied with unmusical nonsense.
