- Randomness.
- Markov chain.
- Algorave.
- Long short-term memory (LSTM).
- Autonomous systems generate music without operator input; assisting music systems will complement an artist while working.
- Symbolic: sheet music, MIDI, MusicXML, AbcNotation. Sub-symbolic: raw audio (waveform), spectrogram.
- "Note On" and "Note Off" timing, pitch between 1 and 127 kHz, velocity, and channel.
- At a sample rate of 96 kHz, the Nyquist frequency is 96 kHz/2 = 48 kHz and the frequency range is 0 to 48 kHz. This is worse for listening to audio since 28 kHz of audio is lost on the ear (remember anything over 20 khz cannot be heard), and that sampling rate is not properly supported by much audio equipment. It is useful in recording and audio editing though.
- A single musical note, A4, is played for 1 second loudly.

Overview of this book
The importance of machine learning (ML) in art is growing at a rapid pace due to recent advancements in the field, and Magenta is at the forefront of this innovation. With this book, you’ll follow a hands-on approach to using ML models for music generation, learning how to integrate them into an existing music production workflow. Complete with practical examples and explanations of the theoretical background required to understand the underlying technologies, this book is the perfect starting point to begin exploring music generation.
The book will help you learn how to use the models in Magenta for generating percussion sequences, monophonic and polyphonic melodies in MIDI, and instrument sounds in raw audio. Through practical examples and in-depth explanations, you’ll understand ML models such as RNNs, VAEs, and GANs. Using this knowledge, you’ll create and train your own models for advanced music generation use cases, along with preparing new datasets. Finally, you’ll get to grips with integrating Magenta with other technologies, such as digital audio workstations (DAWs), and using Magenta.js to distribute music generation apps in the browser.
By the end of this book, you'll be well-versed with Magenta and have developed the skills you need to use ML models for music generation in your own style.
