ShevtoneAudio Orchestrator – Turning MIDI into Full Orchestration
Hi HN, I'm Bor Shev, a composer and developer. Over the past two years I've been developing ShevtoneAudio Orchestrator. The idea is simple: instead of generating a finished piece of music and replacing the composer, Orchestrator takes the composer's own MIDI and develops it into a full orchestration. It analyzes the musical material — harmony, melody, rhythm, dynamics, structure and orchestral density — and creates an arrangement across strings, brass, percussion and other sections. The important part is that the result remains editable MIDI. The composer keeps control and can continue…
What it does
Professional local MIDI orchestration plugin for composers. Perpetual license, editable MIDI workflow, no subscription.
ShevtoneAudio Orchestrator is a professional local MIDI orchestration tool built for composers working in film, trailer, television, games and hybrid cinematic music. It helps you expand an existing musical idea into organized orchestral sections while keeping the result editable inside your DAW. Product interface preview — controls shown here are illustrative. Real orchestration runs inside the installed plugin. Build dedicated strings, brass, woodwinds, choir, percussion and hybrid layers from a single musical idea. Keep control of the arrangement. Edit notes, dynamics, articulations, ranges and instruments after generation. Designed to sit inside a composer’s production workflow rather…from orchestra.shevtoneaudio.com
In the maker’s words, at launch
Hi HN, I'm Bor Shev, a composer and developer. Over the past two years I've been developing ShevtoneAudio Orchestrator.

It analyzes the musical material — harmony, melody, rhythm, dynamics, structure and orchestral density — and creates an arrangement across strings, brass, percussion and other sections. The important part is that the result remains editable MIDI. The composer keeps control and can continue working with everything inside their DAW. I believe this approach could be a breakthrough in AI-assisted composition: AI as an orchestration tool rather than a replacement for the musician. I'm especially interested in feedback from developers, composers and people working with music technology. Feel free to tear the idea apart — I'd genuinely like to know what you think. I'm also running a limited launch offer for Orchestrator at $149. Demo / product: orchestra.shevtoneaudio.com Thanks for taking a look! — Bor Shev ShevtoneAudio

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
