Towards an Accessible and Rapidly Trainable Rhythm Sequencer Using a Generative Stacked Autoencoder
<|reference_start|>Towards an Accessible and Rapidly Trainable Rhythm Sequencer Using a Generative Stacked Autoencoder: Neural networks and deep learning are often deployed for the sake of the most comprehensive music generation with as little involvement as possible from the human musician. Implementations in aid of, or being a tool for, music practitioners are sparse. This paper proposes the integration of generative stacked autoencoder structures for rhythm generation, within a conventional melodic step-sequencer. It further aims to work towards its implementation being accessible to the average electronic music practitioner. Several model architectures have been trained and tested for their creative potential. While the currently implementations do display limitations, they do represent viable creative solutions for music practitioners.<|reference_end|>
