DrumNet

Sony CSL Paris develops technology for AI-assisted music production. The goal is not to replace musicians, but to provide them with better tools to be more efficient in realizing their creative ideas. DrumNet is based on an artificial neural network which learns rhythmic relationships between different instruments and encodes these relationships in a 16-dimensional style space. A similar example is the Logic Pro X Drummer, allowing the user to specify the playing style by navigating a two-dimensional space. The difference of DrumNet to the Logic Pro X Drummer, however, is that it dynamically adapts to the existing music.
