3. Algorithmic Composition

4. StkInstrument Parameter tuning for timbre and volume balance
Melody Line (Rhodey)
Bowed (Chord Progression)
Bass Line (BandedWG)
Key Root (VoicForm)
Hihat (Shakers)
Bass Drum (BandedWG)
Snare (Shakers)

5. Composition Concept Stable v.s. Random
Add some random variables in my software.
It decides when the notes are played and which notes to play
It decides when the drums are played and which drums to play

6. Song Structure Song structure makes music different from sound Verse
Chorus
Bridge
Use random variable to make verse filled with less notes
Enjoy the music (

7. Machine Learning Crawled online for thousands of songs in MIDI format
Process them into useful information
key, melody, chord, root, genre, instrument, artist, verse/chorus…
Develop algorithm to predict the next note given the current melody lin
Enjoy the music (

8. Conclusion & Future Work
It now sounds more like human-composed melody instead of monkey randomly tapping keyboard.
It can easily scale-up or adjust to user-input
Compose with requested key, genre, instruments, artist style, song structure, and emotion.
I’ve implemented automatic accompaniment system using deep learning and would love to import it into this project!
