You should be able to download the software and generate it yourself!

I prefer listening to some samples before I install anything. Have you generated anything good with their software?

Good chiptune video game music. You can learn more about the process here: https://youtu.be/UWxfnNXlVy8

Yep, that's the video I watched before I said the quality of music is awful. Anyway, I'm not sure how is "chiptune video game music" relevant to what OP is asking for.

> I want to create AI generated to use as soundtracks on videos - so there must be no question about royalties or copyright > I want to be able to specify how long the music should go for. > I want to be able to save the music. Product question @andrewstuart - is it important to you that the changes in video scenes line up with the beat of the music?

>> is it important to you that the changes in video scenes line up with the beat of the music?

Well yes in an ideal world it would be great to feed in a video and have appropriate music created to match scenes etc but I can't imagine how that would work without fiddling on my part, and it's hard to imagine it being cheap. I want to do this cheap.

Check out Amper: https://www.ampermusic.com/ My good friend created the tech. They use a lot of custom acoustic instrument samples and some sound synthesis driven by Haskell and SuperCollider. No neural nets or machine learning involved (which is what most people seem to mean by "AI" these days), it's mostly rules based, with a large and byzantine rule set which has been cultivated, so some may call it Algorithmic or…

So close, it says on the front page that it can be used on videos!

Amazingly, the first link is one so you can listen to the output!!

There's a product link! ..... which leads to nothing about a product.

And there's no pricing information at all.

It looked really promising but I had to conclude there's nothing there to buy.

The web-site shows an empty page at this moment.

Would you mind telling me which browser you tried with?

It is due to certain settings in the browser profile that I use for everyday surfing. Without giving too much information, let's just say that although some things are blocked, popular music and video streaming web-sites still work, so I guess this one should also work. It works in a clean profile with default settings in the same browser.

There are some errors like this:

Slightly orthogonal to your request, but I'm not quite sure what you get by choosing machine generated music over human generated music WRT copyright. The machine generated music will be considered a derived work under copyright, so you're going to need a license for it anyway. You could just obtain music from a human and get a license as well.

I don't think this is true. The output of a program is not considered as a derivative work of that program. E.g. Is a photo taken by a digital camera considered a derived work from the camera firmware?

That's a different situation. The digital camera is not creating the work. It's analagous to a compiler generating code. It used to be the fashion of compiler vendors to not give you a free license to the derived work that the compiler generates. GCC even has a separate clause in its license to allow the output not to be GPL. See this license: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/license.html

They asked for a program that generates music with AI, which this is.
