Ask HN: Automated music composition algorithm using frequencies instead of notes

6 pointsby slowmotargetabout 7 years ago
Every experiments in neural network music writing I&#x27;ve come across, it seems neural networks only receive inputs as notes and time (through MIDI scores I presume). And from my limited understanding, they base their future generations on their &quot;understanding&quot; of the notation layout.<p>Has anyone heard about a NN experiment that would use pitch instead, (with natural harmonics included, maybe)?<p>From my point of view, because perceived harmony and intervals depend on the ratios between two frequencies, if we do not tell the machine &quot;how&quot; notes superposition sounds, the machine won&#x27;t be able to generate harmony in conscience (and ends up accidentally stacking thirds like it seems to be)
