Wondering if synthesizing a single instrument rather than an entire MIDI file might be better, as each note could be evaluated via finite differentials. Transformer would use as input a single note from say violin or guitar. And "translate" the pitch and envelope to the new sounds. The physical simulation of music, rather than notational logic. Problem of long range order in the composition still remains unsolved, unless the model accounts for the importance of transitions in music theory. In Neural Machine Translation, characters, words, even grammatical rules themselves can pre-define such an implicit structure. Enjoyable to the trained mind to be sure. Especially as a moment in history. But the tunes themselves lack soul. And jarring for myself as the background music I had turned off to catch the tail end of MuseNet's performance, was of a particularly feverish level of human expressiveness ;) Bad Brains - Live at the CBGB's 1982 (Full Concert) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pUlNfdnsAM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pUlNfdnsAM
