Abstract

Techniques are disclosed relating to implementing audio techniques for real-time audio generation. For example, a music generator system may generate new music content from playback music content based on different parameter representations of an audio signal. In some cases, an audio signal can be represented by both a graph of the signal (e.g., an audio signal graph) relative to time and a graph of the signal relative to beats (e.g., a signal graph). The signal graph is invariant to tempo, which allows for tempo invariant modification of audio parameters of the music content in addition to tempo variant modifications based on the audio signal graph.

Abstract

Techniques are disclosed relating to determining composition rules, based on existing music content, to automatically generate new music content. In some embodiments, a computer system accesses a set of music content and generates a set of composition rules based on analyzing combinations of multiple loops in the set of music content. In some embodiments, the system generates new music content by selecting loops from a set of loops and combining selected ones of the loops such that multiple ones of the loops overlap in time. In some embodiments, the selecting and combining loops is performed based on the set of composition rules and attributes of loops in the set of loops.

Abstract

Techniques are disclosed relating to automatically generating new music content based on image representations of audio files. A music generation system includes a music generation subsystem and a music classification subsystem. The music generation subsystem may generate output music content according to music parameters that define policy for generating music. The classification subsystem may be used to classify whether music is generated by the music generation subsystem or is professionally produced music content. The music generation subsystem may implement an algorithm that is reinforced by prediction output from the music classification subsystem. Reinforcement may include tuning the music parameters to generate more human-like music content.

Abstract

Disclosed techniques relate to user control of generative music. In some embodiments, a computing system generates a musical plan based on both conversational inputs (e.g., using a large-language model (LLM)) and non-conversational inputs (e.g., via a traditional user interface) to a hybrid interface. The computing system may generate an initial version of the musical plan based on the LLM context and update the context and plan based on various types of user input via the hybrid interface. Disclosed techniques may advantageously allow guided user control over generative music systems.

A computer system generates output music content that includes multiple overlapping musical expressions in time. The computer system receives user feedback at a point in time while the output music content is being played. Based on the user feedback and based on characteristics of the output music content associated with the point in time, the computer system determines one or more expression embeddings generated based on expressions selected for inclusion in the output music content and one or more composition embeddings generated based on combined expressions in the output music content. The computer system generates additional output music content based on the expression and composition embeddings.

Abstract

Techniques are disclosed relating to implementing user-created controls to modify music content. A music generator system may be configured to automatically generate output music content by selecting and combining audio tracks based on various parameters. Users may create their own control elements that the music generator system may train (e.g., using AI techniques) to generate output music content according to a user's intended functionality of a user-created control element.

Abstract

Techniques are disclosed relating to tracking contributions to composed music content. In some embodiments, a computer system determines playback data for a music content mix, where the playback data indicates characteristics of playback of the music content mix and the music content mix includes a determined combination of multiple audio tracks. In some embodiments, the system records, in an electronic block-chain ledger data structure, information specifying individual playback data for one or more of the multiple audio tracks in the music content mix. The information specifying individual playback data for an individual audio track may include usage data for the individual audio track and signature information associated with the individual audio track.

Abstract

Techniques are disclosed relating to generating music content. In one embodiment, a method includes determining one or more musical attributes based on external data and generating music content based on the one or more musical attributes. Generating the music content may include selecting from stored sound loops or tracks and/or generating new tracks based on the musical attributes. Selected or generated sound loops or tracks may be layered to generate the music content. Musical attributes may be determined in some embodiments based on user input (e.g., indicating a desired energy level), environment information, and/or user behavior information. Artists may upload tracks, in some embodiments, and be compensated based on usage of their tracks in generating music content. In some embodiments, a method includes generating sound and/or light control information based on the musical attributes.

Abstract

Techniques are disclosed relating to determining composition rules, based on existing music content, to automatically generate new music content. In some embodiments, a computer system accesses a set of music content and generates a set of composition rules based on analyzing combinations of multiple loops in the set of music content. In some embodiments, the system generates new music content by selecting loops from a set of loops and combining selected ones of the loops such that multiple ones of the loops overlap in time. In some embodiments, the selecting and combining loops is performed based on the set of composition rules and attributes of loops in the set of loops.
