What it does

Staccato is an AI MIDI generator that helps music producers and composers spark creativity and overcome writer’s block. Use its chat-based interface in any DAW to generate custom MIDI, like a funky bassline or gritty hip-hop loop. You can also upload MIDI files for the AI to enhance, rewrite, or transform while keeping your unique style. Whether starting fresh or building on an idea, Staccato will be your cowriter that makes you sound like no one else.

Text-to-MIDI AI plugin that collaborates with you. Create and customize MIDI stems and loops, overcome writer’s block and stay in creative flow.

As musicians, we don’t need overused samples. We need ideas that sound like us. "Perfect for coming up with new ideas and building solid compositions. It helps me shape the foundation before I bring my sound to life." Tell Staccato what you want and it generates MIDI - up to 16 tracks and 32 bars at once. Dial in every detail, from the overall feel down to individual notes and velocities, until it's exactly what you want. Bring in your own MIDI or audio and Staccato will continue, complement, or build on it so you always have something real to start from. Drag and drop right into your project without ever leaving your session so you can keep the creativity flowing. Most AI music tools are…from staccato.ai

    Hey HN, My cofounder and I trained an AI music generation model and after a month of testing we're launching 1.0 today. Ours is interesting because it's a latent diffusion model instead of a language model, which makes it more controllable: https://sonauto.ai/ Others do music generation by training a Vector Quantized Variational Autoencoder like Descript Audio Codec (https://github.com/descriptinc/descript-audio-codec) to turn music into tokens, then training an LLM on those tokens. Instead, we ripped the tokenization part off and replaced it with a normal…

  • I made a thing! In 2014, I was holding a stack of iPhones and thought to myself: "Hey, if I had each phone display a playing card, I could click a button and they'd shuffle themselves" I pared that idea all the way down to this: trading cards made of e-ink displays. Right now, each card costs me about $20 each, but with only a bit more scale, I think I can get that down to $10. In doing this project, I learned how to design electronics and circuit boards. I learned Rust and wrote my first driver, I upped my CAD skills, 3D printed, and did my first resin casting. I generated the images on the…
