Generate a piano piece from a chord progression in AIVA

Demo summary
The user selects the 'chord progression' mode in AIVA, inputs a text prompt for a 'Moody Suber' anime style, and edits specific chord extensions before generating a solo piano track.
Step-by-step
- Select 'Create a track' and choose the 'Chord Progression' mode.
- Set the style to 'Solo Piano'.
- Enter a text description for the chord progression in the prompt box.
- Review the generated chords and use the pull-down menus to edit specific chord extensions or voicings.
- Click 'Create' to generate the track based on the progression.
Options
- Create from a style
- Create step-by-step
- Upload an influence
- Input specific artist names (e.g., Ryuichi Sakamoto) into the prompt
Watch out for
- The chord selection pull-down menu is unorganized and does not show clear awareness of the current key.
- AI-generated progressions may lack structured phrasing and can feel 'wandering'.
Tips
- Use descriptive prompts like 'Moody' or 'Floating through the clouds' to get more colorful extended harmony chords.
- Manually edit the generated chords if you want to include notes outside of the standard key.
