Not that I've looked into it much, but a thought just occurred to me. Why don't we use AI to generate lofi samples for tracker music? Why aren't there trackers with that feature bolted on? I should be able to search for bespoke and unique sounds out of thin air. Surely that should be a very modest goal to achieve? (re: downvotes... I say "AI" as a synthesis method, not as a way to interfere with the creative process, but I guess I have to resign myself to the fact many downvoters might be ignorant of how these musical sausages are usually made)

  Could you say more? I don't really follow, and I've used trackers for a long time. Don't some trackers already have something akin to this in terms of "randomizing" wave forms inside some reasonable parameters? Why would you need AI for this problem?
  - zahlman 4mo ago
    I assume the goal is to be able to prompt with "make me a synth that sounds like ..." and actually get a reasonable result.

  You can't mention "AI" and music together without a negative response. I think entrenched business interests as well as musicians and other music industry adjacent people, plus the well intentioned but poorly informed public have developed a visceral knee jerk reaction to the concept. Some of this is understandable, but I think it is mostly fueled by astroturfing. I am a musician as well as a technology enthusiast, and I think this a very exciting time! To respond more directly to your point than your aside, there are a smattering of models out there that can take descriptions of sounds and do a decent job of creating them. (Stable Audio 3 just released last month and can do this, for example). - I don't find them to be useful for sampling, though. I'm still much quicker dialing in a sound with knobs or sliders than a text box. Diffusion models in music making are not going away, though. This is (at least in part) the future. For a taste, look at some of the interesting things being done over in the Demon project - https://github.com/daydreamlive/DEMON https://github.com/daydreamlive/DEMON - to me, this is a much more positive use of the tech than "type words/get song".

  >Why don't we use AI to generate lofi samples for tracker music? Because generating lofi samples is already pretty easy with waveform generators and existing tools. Burning millions of tokens worth of compute just to make a bass kick is profoundly wasteful.
- SyneRyder 4mo ago
  An upvote from me, it's a reasonable question. For your "search for bespoke and unique sounds", that sounds like a service Waves runs, called Illugen. It isn't built in to a tracker, but you can use it to generate the samples that you import into the tracker. Honestly I've never used it, I have too many samples anyway, but here it is: https://www.waves.com/illugen https://www.waves.com/illugen But you also don't have to go down the generative / diffusion path. You can ask your AI to make a tool to generate various sample files for you mathematically. A good frontier model will happily make a program that will create some hihat and cymbal sounds out of white noise, a kick drum out of distorted sine waves. It will create some simple synth sounds from square waves. If you go deep enough, it will happily go down the rabbit hole with you into additive synthesis while nerding out about the Synclavier. Or it will do synthesis through frequency modulation while chatting about the Yamaha DX7 and don't do that because FM is like modular you'll never find a way out of that hole has anyone seen eno lately. If you kept reading this far, there's plenty of Claudes already doing their own very simple synthesis & music writing, in videos like these below (two I found today). The models are capable of much much more if you give them time to build a toolset, and aren't just asking them to one shot an entire video about their existence using only a copy of ffmpeg: https://x.com/nptacek/status/2065207326492020957/video/1 https://x.com/nptacek/status/2065207326492020957/video/1 https://x.com/nptacek/status/2065230524264710313/video/1 https://x.com/nptacek/status/2065230524264710313/video/1

  Not quite what you suggested, but I did some experiments several months ago "enhancing" the samples in tracker music with some models, and they sounded terrible. There really is something about the sound of tracker files that's just right. But sure, you could generate lo-fi samples, there's a lot of computer generated samples in music, but putting them together into a pleasing combination is the hard bit.

      There's nothing like that here. Just actually try to use it and you're like 'oh, this doesn't really work.. at all.' It's more like LLMs enabling extremely lazy people to put out something that ostensibly requires a lot of work, but was probably about 10 minutes of prompting and can't be bothered to do 5 minutes of testing. It's curious to think about the impact this is going to have on large software companies that increasingly seem happy to ship slop. LLMs are going to accelerate slop production by orders of magnitude, but that also is going to proportionally accelerate the destruction of one's own brand.

> Preserving the digital underground's musical legacy The entire page has clearly been completely AI-generated in one shot and serves no value. I doubt the author even read much of the code before hitting publish - look at the comments in the HTML: >  lol. It struggles to even run on my laptop with the amount of crap Gemini has put into it - 30KB of minified JS and another 30 of the horrible CSS. This is a snot-filled spit in the face of musicians whose TLD is being polluted with this, and whose music this vibecoder stole. The gall to have a copyright sign at the bottom is despicable.

Not that I've looked into it much, but a thought just occurred to me. Why don't we use AI to generate lofi samples for tracker music? Why aren't there trackers with that feature bolted on? I should be able to search for bespoke and unique sounds out of thin air. Surely that should be a very modest goal to achieve? (re: downvotes...

This is a vibe-coded clone of https://keygenmusic.tk/ https://keygenmusic.tk/, it seems.

Thanks, the UX in the OP is atrocious.

I wonder if you could feed in all the HN comments as feedback and get a PR

> Preserving the digital underground's musical legacy The entire page has clearly been completely AI-generated in one shot and serves no value. I doubt the author even read much of the code before hitting publish - look at the comments in the HTML: >  lol. It struggles to even run on my laptop with the amount of crap Gemini has put into it - 30KB of minified JS and another 30 of the horrible CSS. This is a snot-filled spit in the face of musicians whose TLD is being polluted with this, and whose music this vibecoder stole. The gall to have a copyright sign at the bottom is despicable.

This is an acutely awful website to look at.
