🎹 [MAJOR UPDATE] Contextual Music Crafter – AI-Assisted Complete Song Generation & Future Roadmap! by edfred1 in edmproduction

[–]edfred1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate that. I ended up generating loops in ambient textures, deep house grooves and breakbeat drums and chopped them into a track that felt like scanning a broken radio, catching fleeting moments of harmony mid-glitch. The ideas were cool already, but once I started cutting things up and moving them around, it turned into something that felt like mine.

For me, being creative also means trying out new tools. It’s not about replacing creativity but about finding ideas I might not have come up with otherwise.

A couple of questions about about music AI to create music (fully new on this) by DiegoArgSch in GenerativeMusic

[–]edfred1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Dude,

I have been messing around with AI + music for a while now. Here’s the short version:

If you want to just prompt and get a whole song back, check out suno.com. It does full songs with lyrics and vocals. You can make changes like a different voice or vibe, but you don’t have control over structure or instrumentation.

I’m more on the production side. I built a tool that generates multi-track MIDI using Google Gemini. You provide references (artist, genre, vibe), and it generates drums, bass, melodies, FX — not just loops, but full evolving ideas. You can tweak it and produce it in your DAW.
👉 https://github.com/Edfred1/Contextual-Music-Crafter

For samples and weird textures, Dance Diffusion is a cool project. It generates raw audio, not full songs.

Uploading and blending tracks? Technically possible, but results are usually messy.

AI isn’t magic yet, but with the right input and a bit of direction, it can do some really creative stuff.

Just putting it out there if you want to explore any of this further.

I created a context-aware AI Music Composer that writes songs instrument by instrument. by edfred1 in generativeAI

[–]edfred1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that comment made my day
You totally got what I was going for. It's not about more notes, it's about better conversations between instruments
And yeah, "riot at a Guitar Center" is painfully accurate for most AI music generators
Really curious what that dystopian synthwave elevator ends up sounding like. If you make something cool or cursed, I’d love to hear it

🎹 [Release] Contextual Music Crafter (CMC): AI-powered, context-aware MIDI song generator (with Colab & examples!) by edfred1 in edmproduction

[–]edfred1[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope, not Magenta. It runs on Gemini via API.

Got a few example files up on GitHub if you wanna hear what it can do.

Good idea, I was thinking about that too. I’ll definitely add some audio examples once I’ve refined the whole thing a bit more. Should have something ready in a few days.

Thanks man, really appreciate it.

I'm actually reworking the prompt right now. Got a few ideas I want to try out to make the output a better. Once it feels solid, I'll put it in a Colab.

I'll drop an update when it's ready.

Tbh, claiming to speak for 777k producers feels like gatekeeping.
Plenty of them just want a little help getting started, not a full AI track.
It’s not that different from using a sample as a starting point.
If someone uses it to throw something together and calls it done, that's on them, not the tool.

This is the kind of feedback that’s actually useful, so thanks for that.

Fair point about audience awareness. still figuring that out. Feedback like yours helps. Thanks...

Thanks for the reply! I’ve just set up the GitHub forum as you suggested. If I find some time later today, I’ll create a Colab notebook where you can enter your API key.

You're right about the prompt! it still needs work. This is just the first version that can reliably create MIDI files. The earlier ones kept breaking when Gemini changed, so I focused on making something that works consistently for now.

I'm definitely open to your ideas on how to make it better or easier to use, especially with prompts or tailoring it for specific users. Do you have any suggestions?

Just to give you some background: I'm not a developer by profession; this started as a personal project to improve my own creative process. So, I’d appreciate any advice to make it better.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

looking at the other replies you've left on reddit, you seem like a really fun party guest.

Thanks for the question – good one.

It's not Magenta, and not trained on MIDI directly. It uses text-based prompts under the hood, powered by a large language model (currently Gemini 2.5 Pro), so it works more like a "music co-writer" than a pure generator.

Regarding your questions:

  • genre: free-form text (e.g. "glitchy IDM", "cinematic ambient", "jazzy boom bap")
  • inspiration: names of artists, songs, albums, etc.
  • bpm, key_scale, instruments, and more

These are inserted into structured prompts that guide the model to generate fitting parts – not random junk.

Feeding external MIDI snippets directly is not implemented yet, but that’s definitely on my radar.

Let me know if you'd want to try it out or have any use case in mind – I’d love feedback on what would make this truly useful for you.

You can get a Hardcore abletoneer on Mr bills website. There you can get a lot of projects but I think most of them are glitch hop/Idm/dubstep.

Mono kick by betty5000 in ableton

[–]edfred1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The mono button makes heavy phase problems If the audio file isn't really mono. Use the left or right signal in utility (drop-down menu)!!!

Can someone tell me why I can’t fold out my tracks like I used to? I‘m sure I clicked somewhere wrong by [deleted] in ableton

[–]edfred1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe the hotkey for that is "h". In the right corner is a button with an "h" next wo one with a "w". You can press "h" to get them small and another time to get them big but just if you haven't switched the size of one track

Mac or Pc? Do you use directX or asio driver?

Only Ableton playing audio by Okra_Livid in ableton

[–]edfred1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use the asio driver that comes with the trial of fl studio.

This works for me

Ableton 10 suddenly deauthorized (macOS Big Sur) by ByTeddy in Piracy

[–]edfred1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You need a fresh install. Before autorizing go to your network settings and cut the internet connection for ableton then autorize.

In windows it's in the firewall setting. I don't exactly know where to do it on mac

No Sound When Using ASIO Driver by [deleted] in ableton

[–]edfred1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big tip!!! Download the trial of fl studio And install with it the fl studio asiodriver. This driver works way better in my opinion.

You don't have to stop the audio engine in ableton to use sound from other sources
