Magenta Studio

What Magenta is

Magenta began inside the Google Brain team as an open-source research project into machine learning for music and art. Its output is published freely: Magenta Studio plugins for workstation use, DDSP based synthesizers, Magenta.js for browser work, and various models covering melody generation, rhythm conversion and style transfer.

What you can do with it

• Run generative models inside your workstation
• Build browser prototypes with Magenta.js
• Experiment with melody and rhythm models
• Study machine learning approaches to music
• Produce material for generative art projects

Who it is for

• Developers and researchers
• Musicians comfortable installing plugins
• Educators demonstrating generative systems

What to watch out for

• This is research software, so installation and maintenance are your responsibility
• Licences differ per model and per release; commercial use is not automatic
• Quality lags current commercial generators considerably
• Some plugins expect older workstation versions, so check compatibility
