MIDI-GPT for Live: a multitrack MIDI generation machine for Ableton Live

MIDI-GPT for Live is a free, open-source Max for Live device that writes MIDI into your Ableton Live clips with MIDI-GPT, a transformer for computer-assisted multitrack composition. It reads every MIDI clip in the selected scene as context, generates the bars you choose, and writes the result back as takes you can audition, revert or keep. • Fill in bars: paint the bars to rewrite; the rest of the scene is context • Write whole tracks with AR, including tracks that have no clip yet • Steer it: polyphony, note length, density, scale, register, rhythm masks and remix per track • Takes: generate up to 16 versions, switch while the music plays, keep the one you like • Runs on your computer, no GPU needed, or on a server elsewhere Install (macOS, Live 11 or 12 with Max for Live): curl -fsSL https://metacreation.net/midigpt-live... | bash Code and releases: https://github.com/Metacreation-Lab/m...
