A DAW will have more functions geared towards music production such as recording, audio, MIDI editing, effects and mastering, and song composition. A software synthesizer like FluidSynth will have less functionalities, but have the advantage of being lightweight and easy to use.
- Most music software won't open MIDI ports by themselves, so to send sequences back and forth between them we have to manually open ports.
- See the code in chapter_09_example_05.py in this chapter's code.
- Because syncing two pieces of software that have desynced requires restarting them. A MIDI clock enables syncing once per beat.
-
Because Magenta Studio integrates with existing music production tools such as DAWs and doesn't require any technical knowledge, it makes AI-generated music available to a greater audience, which is ultimately...

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.
