Never heard of it. I'm intrigued by the website description... Thanks for sharing!ReMidi is a tool that can help with the split and recombine.

Despite the derision of AI, this view nails it in my opinion.For this the computer and AI-based tools can be, and will certainly become more and more, either our best assistants or our worst enemies. Contrary to the popular, generally uninformed, opinion about the subject, nothing can think more outside the "human brain box" than an AI-based deep learning tool. It knows and can follow all the standard rules or break all of them and push you in a completely unexpected direction.
Thank you for your kind words and thoughtful opinion. I agree 100%. I invite you to take a look at this other thread where I posted something that you might find pertinent and even maybe interesting:Despite the derision of AI, this view nails it in my opinion.

The first genuinely "convincing" AI music is probably going sound extremely generic, because it will follow all these rules to a T. But then at some point, a "humanization" feature will be introduced, followed by a question - can AI actually make ART?
In-house music prototyping solution: splitting a bunch of Orb midi files into 1 bar chunks and recombining based on scale, key and harmonic content of adjacent bars. Crud but seems to work
But I for example am not using an orchestra. I am using orchestral SAMPLES inside said sequencer. The tools and tech are part of what inspires me. The tools can definitely be leading if used right.because the orchestra is not a sequencer - it's a living breathing painting, with a massive spectrum of colors to say exactly what you mean. But hey, what does everyone else know /shrug if you gave common sense advice it's elitist, so you need to give advice that nobody worth anything follows
Edit : have fun, but that won't be orchestral music, that will be sequencing music using orchestral samples in a way that has nothing to do with an orchestra.But I for example am not using an orchestra.

ok, but realistically speaking....in the grand scheme of things, most of us are nobodies worth anything.....But hey, what does everyone else know /shrug if you gave common sense advice it's elitist, so you need to give advice that nobody worth anything follows
So who do you think they should listen to? Other nobodies? Or the same advice that's been common practice for hundreds of years with consistently good results?ok, but realistically speaking....in the grand scheme of things, most of us are nobodies worth anything.....
I respect you a lot chocobitz, but I don't think it's most of us are "nobodies worth anything". Lots of talented folks on here, whether they're professionally / commercially "successful" or not.ok, but realistically speaking....in the grand scheme of things, most of us are nobodies worth anything.....

Until the AI replaces us as composers and we are forced to bend the knee to them and accept their supremacy.These AI tools won't ruin art, and writing score to paper won't automatically make us musical geniuses or legends in the field. So we should just make music, enjoy music, and calm down about all the stuff in between.
they can listen to whoever they want. they're responsible for themselves and the results they get. People throw this advice out with no consideration of what the goals of the person are, or what "realistic advice" actually is. If this person is creating for the sake of making their own art and music, then anything is fine. If this person is trying to be a consistent professional that can push out orders on time, AI tools likely won't help them as much as traditional methods. If they're trying to sell their music to the public, then none of it really matters. Most listeners don't know or care, and what works works. Tons of trap beatmakers and EDM producers are making money "cheating", and no one cares.

"But hey, what does everyone else know /shrug if you gave common sense advice it's elitist, so you need to give advice that nobody worth anything follows".
Few of us are John Williams, or Hans Zimmer (take those two examples for what you will). we're a vast range of creatives running from hobbyist to professional, and the idea that we need to chain ourselves to the "common sense" practices of composition just because famous composers do/did it that way is pointless because just doing it their way does not make us those composers. There is value in learning it, but mandating it must be done that way is wrong. There are lots of simple but enjoyable songs...there are also plenty of pieces done by the book that are forgettable. In that reality, what does it mean to tell people that writing without tools or a DAW is "better"? These AI tools won't ruin art, and writing score to paper won't automatically make us musical geniuses or legends in the field. So we should just make music, enjoy music, and calm down about all the stuff in between.
No but this is the classic trend of academia that pushes the purity of tradition, condemns the new, until the new becomes standard and gets added to the curriculum without any sense of humility.What a pointless conversation to have.
We aren't world strongest man's, but if they all give the same advice for getting stronger - there's a 99% chance it applies to you, and is more worth listening to than some bullshit your coworker regurgitates. We have actual college professors that visit the forum, should their students stop listening to them because they won't be john williams?
It's not defeatist, it's just stupid. There are plenty of orchestrators that will tell you about all the mistakes they've made and you think AI will do better?
I can't wait until orb composer and it's kin write 16th note figurations that last eight measures long for the trombone
It’s funny because it takes a lot of skill to make a piece from AIVA sound like musicUntil the AI replaces us as composers and we are forced to bend the knee to them and accept their supremacy.
(I joke, but also ... #AIVA)
