Haven’t blogged in a while! Does anyone read blogs anymore anyway?
Also haven’t made an update about TuneSage in a few years. But I’ve been working on it on and off, trying a lot of approaches and doing a lot of experiments that ultimately failed. Lots of trial and even more error.
But I finally have a completely overhauled algorithm that is both extremely fast and much easier to iterate on (unlike previous versions), so I’m excited and finally feel like I’m making good progress once more (despite the emergence of a vocal anti-AI crowd that didn’t much exist 10+ years ago).
Anyway, I’ve just made a YouTube video demonstrating TuneSage as it is at the moment:
As I mention in the video, the three main things I want to add before launching the product:
- Melodic styles (right now the melodies are purposefully very random and generic sounding)
- The ability to write melodies more or less than 8 bars long, and the ability to string melodies together for larger forms
- The ability to edit individual notes or chords, and the ability to “lock” notes or chords in place while re-generating the rest
Plus, I’ll probably move the chordal accompaniment to a separate track so that the user can choose different instruments for both.
Still, the app will focus only on generating melodies with chords at first. I’ll work on expanding the accompaniment generation abilities after the app is actually launched.
(P.S. As of this writing, tunesage.com is down because I switched hosts and still haven’t reuploaded the landing page… I should do that soon.)
