This web app allows you to generate music with
Polyphemus,
a polyphonic multitrack symbolic music generator.
The model generates 2 bars of 4/4 multi-instrumental
music.
The instruments are 4: drums, bass, piano and strings.
The editable 4x32 grid allows you to specify which of
the 4
instruments must be activated in the 32 timesteps that
constitute a bar. The model then generates music by
following the directives for each of the 2 bars.
Quick Instructions
- Edit the Grid: Activate or deactivate the
cells
in the grid with the left click. Click and drag to
activate or deactivate multiple cells. Try not to go
too crazy with the editing, as the model works
better
with grids that resemble real ones.
- Generate Music With the Model: Click on the
"Generate" button and wait for the model to generate
music.
- Play the Music: After you click play, the
music will be played and visualized through a
pianoroll. During play, the grid will
continuously highlight the current timestep in the
sequence.
- Repeat: You may end up liking a particular
piece of generated music. You can then experiment
with it by trying different
instrument activations while keeping the same
musical content. If you want to keep the same
musical content of the
last generated sequence, just activate the
"Keep Style" checkbox before generation.
