Instead of just accepting all this machine learning hype, why not put it to the test? Magenta Studio lets you experiment with open source machine learning tools, standalone or inside Ableton Live. Magenta provides a pretty graspable way to get started with an field of research that can get a bit murky. By giving you easy access to machine learning models for musical patterns, you can generate and modify rhythms and melodies. The team at Google AI first showed Magenta Studio at Ableton's Loop conference in LA in November, but after some vigorous development, it's a lot more ready for primetime now, both on Mac and Windows. If you're working with Ableton Live, you can use Magenta Studio as a set of devices.
