Description

Like a 'smart' MIDI pitch device. Play 8 notes in (buttons), and have the output pitch determined by a recurrent neural network. Optionally control by chord and key.

Pointers:

* Lower buttons make lower notes, higher make higher notes.

* The pitches out will depend on the buttons and notes previously played, so may play different notes out for the same button push (e.g. pressing low a bunch of times will make all the notes output lower).

* Also takes into consideration the timing of the notes in choosing the notes to play.

* Trained on virtuosic classical piano, so playing fast gives different results than playing slow.

* 'Temperature' controls the degree of randomness in the output.

* Mapping multiple buttons to the same input pitch can also give fun chordal outputs (as seen in the Flaming Lips video below).
