Sorry, but surely to use AI for music you will need something with a large music model, which as far as I know GPT-4 doesn't have. Without that it would be like relying on theory books, never having actually heard any music. Or am I wrong?
*speaking from experience. I built a web app at tapcompose.com (desktop only for now) that uses pure randomness for both chords and melody. Initially I used randomness for testing only and planned to substitute an AI model later — but I was delightfully satisfied with the results and kept it in
It'd be cool to train text embeddings and musical chord embeddings (by analyzing song lyrics perhaps) and then build something to type in moods like "happy jaunty progression" and get a matching chord progression with a similar embedding (assuming you give it a large library of progressions). No generative AI would be needed :)
A chord is two or more different notes being played close together in time. That's all.
