So Fable can act by itself as audio to midi decoder now? No need for specialised models, it just listens like a person and plays it?
My task to fable was to take the MIDI and encode it into some proprietary mp3 format. It's still "binary" MIDI encoded in the mp3, it's not simulating the piano and generating waveforms... yet.
If I ever owned a self-playing piano, figuring out how I could play custom songs of my own creation would be my top priority. It’s awesome you’ve found some success. Jmpman, what your post is missing is motivation. Why are you doing this and what is your goal? If you sell your decoder or encoder the company will, eventually, kick your butt. Getting money involved raises the stakes. If you distribute a file that is so…
When Fable came back with the decoder, I knew something was off. The decoy notes... even more evidence of wonkiness. Mostly posted it to HN out of disbelief that Fable just hacked my piano and had I blindly pushed it to a public repo, I would likely have broken some law.
Btw, the version I like is performed by Pascal Roge back in the 1970s. The AIs don't quite match his performance, and I keep trying to figure out how to guide them. I don't think his version has a delay between the melody and the chords, while the AIs were both convinced that was desirable. They seem to be lacking some taste in that area, but overall I prefer their version to the one I bought.
This is the most interesting post I've read all week.

> You can't just commit crimes on the open internet without really hiding IPs and what not, and expect that to not come back to haunt you eventually. Not sure what you're talking about, the current AI boom is entirely based on committing crimes on the open internet without really hiding IPs and what not. So is much of big tech in general.
Keyword being "you". "They" can commit crimes, because they're big tech companies who give gifts to the right people. But "you" are not "they".
