Demo summary

The user sets the musical key to E major and demonstrates adding specific prompts like 'trap beat', 'shoegaze rock', and 'fuzz guitar' while adjusting volume sliders in real-time to mix the AI-generated output.

Step-by-step

Select the musical key (e.g., E major) and click Apply to start playback.
Enter specific descriptors like 'trap beat', 'shoegaze rock', or 'fuzz guitar' into the prompt fields.
Click Add to generate and layer the new tracks.
Adjust the volume sliders for each individual prompt in real-time to mix the audio.
Wait for the next measure for the AI to process and reflect the changes in the mix.

Options

Use suggested prompt ideas provided at the bottom of the interface.
Input genres, feelings, moods, or emotions as descriptors.

Watch out for

The system will not create music based on exact artist names (e.g., Blink-182).
Changes to the mix take a few measures to fully update and take effect.

Tips

Use other LLMs like Gemini or ChatGPT to generate descriptive keywords for a specific band's sound to use as prompts.
Turn individual sliders all the way up temporarily to isolate and identify specific sounds or instruments.
Mix and match the slider bars continuously to find the specific balance you are looking for.
