Magenta Melody Generator

This small bit of code acts as a simple wrapper around the Tensorflow Magenta melody generation library.

Users can find the full Magenta codebase here: https://github.com/magenta/magenta

Quickstart

First, Create a New Virtual Environment

virtualenv venv

NOTE: This code expects Python 3.7+. If your base Python installation does not meet this requirement, please ensure you're creating a virtualenv with the correct version of Python. You can use this command to point virtualenv to the correct version:

virtualenv --python='/path/to/python3' venv

Second, Activate Virtualenv

source venv/bin/activate

Second, Install Requirements

pip install -r requirements.txt

Third, Generate A Melody!

./new_melody.sh play

Melodies are generated in sets of 10, which are saved in the included melody_output directory. Each time you run this command, the program will randomly sample one melody to play from these 10 generations.

Maintenance

If your melody_output directory becomes unwieldy, you can easy clear it out by running ./new_melody.sh purge
