All LLM-kind would be vastly improved if the words "exact" and "brilliant" were nerfed to hell in their pre-training weights or even just removed from their training distributions entirely. Virtually nothing outside of mathematics is "exact", and virtually nothing outside of colors should be described as "brilliant".
LLMs are on occasion like a kid that can do a standing double backward somersault, but can't walk. It's the same tell you'll have in discussions online. Somebody will spew out extremely esoteric (and accurate) knowledge/concepts, but then demonstrate a complete misunderstanding (or lack of knowledge) of basic concepts in the exact same domain.
nah, that's an entire 10 episode rewatch if this libertine vibe coder's agentic engineering pipeline holds! ... shit, mostly ads, if only the dude went through a few more testing cycles ... nah, that's enough time for some auto-research into the psycho-linguistic consequences of getting The Trump voted for president after the whitest black presidency in the history of the world, forever!
It's curious to think about the impact this is going to have on large software companies that increasingly seem happy to ship slop. LLMs are going to accelerate slop production by orders of magnitude, but that also is going to proportionally accelerate the destruction of one's own brand.
Did not. https://keygenmusic.tk/ was better. Makes me wonder if slop will eventually lead to curation or if the canonical bests will continue to be buried in it.
I think we’ve got to get used to seeing those as the same thing. Paying attention to it is making it, in essence, the more attention you pay, the more you own the process, the more the result is ‘yours.’
you can drag only by clicking on a ui element that has no indication that it can be dragged.
(And it looks like the files were all yoinked from https://github.com/6512345/keygenmusic)
Archive.org also has some bundles of keygen music, but you have to sift a bit through the results to find them.
Music is cool though
This Razor1911 career retrospective demo from Revision was pretty impressive: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AnbYNudAyM
I used to listen to these modules with Xmp Mod Player [1] from F-Droid on my commute to work with my Nexus 4.
Many of the modules contain "hidden" messages that the Android app made easy to read.
Use https://chiptune.app.

Yeah I'm pretty sure the people who made keygens and chiptunes would hate today's AI and LLM. This is a tribute to chiptunes and keygen music as much as putting a picture of your grandma into an AI tool to animate it would be a tribute to her.
With Claude Code in less than 5 minutes, I can come up with something 10x better, at least usable, with basic UX knowledge and flow basics.
Sorry if I offended the author, but he/she can learn from these comments.
There were definitely many keygens I would open just to have on in the background.
Can you add this song? "Sony Vegas 9.x Keygen Music by Kenet & Rez (Digital Insanity)" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmdprbBOMT8
As mentioned in other comments, chiptune.app seems to be a better project and has been maintained for years (https://github.com/mmontag/chip-player-js).

If you'd like to download module files, https://modarchive.org is a good reference.
This vibe coded mess is putting in so little technical effort even though it is completely unreasonable for any piece of software associated with the demoscene.
its irrelevant to enjoying the actual content which is music
sometimes the nitpickery on HN is excessive and not really of value
Edit: They have a point though. Food for thought.
The entire page has clearly been completely AI-generated in one shot and serves no value. I doubt the author even read much of the code before hitting publish - look at the comments in the HTML:

lol.
It struggles to even run on my laptop with the amount of crap Gemini has put into it - 30KB of minified JS and another 30 of the horrible CSS. This is a snot-filled spit in the face of musicians whose TLD is being polluted with this, and whose music this vibecoder stole. The gall to have a copyright sign at the bottom is despicable.
huh? Preserving groups that 'shaped the scene' would make me think late 80s and early 90s! c'mon now
https://www.scene.org/ is the way to go, no?
..Suppose that's not going to include hacking groups, but still.
Ah there it is: https://keygenmusic.tk/#track=Razor1911/Razor1911%20-%20Comm...
Surely that should be a very modest goal to achieve?
(re: downvotes... I say "AI" as a synthesis method, not as a way to interfere with the creative process, but I guess I have to resign myself to the fact many downvoters might be ignorant of how these musical sausages are usually made)
I am a musician as well as a technology enthusiast, and I think this a very exciting time!
To respond more directly to your point than your aside, there are a smattering of models out there that can take descriptions of sounds and do a decent job of creating them. (Stable Audio 3 just released last month and can do this, for example). - I don't find them to be useful for sampling, though. I'm still much quicker dialing in a sound with knobs or sliders than a text box.
Diffusion models in music making are not going away, though. This is (at least in part) the future.
For a taste, look at some of the interesting things being done over in the Demon project - https://github.com/daydreamlive/DEMON - to me, this is a much more positive use of the tech than "type words/get song".
For your "search for bespoke and unique sounds", that sounds like a service Waves runs, called Illugen. It isn't built in to a tracker, but you can use it to generate the samples that you import into the tracker. Honestly I've never used it, I have too many samples anyway, but here it is: https://www.waves.com/illugen
But you also don't have to go down the generative / diffusion path. You can ask your AI to make a tool to generate various sample files for you mathematically. A good frontier model will happily make a program that will create some hihat and cymbal sounds out of white noise, a kick drum out of distorted sine waves. It will create some simple synth sounds from square waves. If you go deep enough, it will happily go down the rabbit hole with you into additive synthesis while nerding out about the Synclavier. Or it will do synthesis through frequency modulation while chatting about the Yamaha DX7 and don't do that because FM is like modular you'll never find a way out of that hole has anyone seen eno lately.
If you kept reading this far, there's plenty of Claudes already doing their own very simple synthesis & music writing, in videos like these below (two I found today). The models are capable of much much more if you give them time to build a toolset, and aren't just asking them to one shot an entire video about their existence using only a copy of ffmpeg:
Because generating lofi samples is already pretty easy with waveform generators and existing tools. Burning millions of tokens worth of compute just to make a bass kick is profoundly wasteful.
