AI musician can play the sax!
🕑 Added 2020-10-27 22:01:00 +0000 UTCThis piece is going to be published November 11, 2020 - but I'm too excited not to share it! The sax is played by AI. How cool is that!? You give it an example of what to play, and it just does it. So cool.

Description:
The tenor sax performance in this piece was done by an AI musician.
The notes and chords were generated algorithmically (not by an AI).

0:33 there is an amazingly smooth and correct sounding run-up.
0:50 it goes below the actual tenor sax range. I love how it extrapolated down there!
0:58 there's some leak hiss going on at 0:58. I'll call that "artistic license".
1:08 it goes quite a bit above the standard range for a tenor sax, but those notes should be available in altissimo with some fancy fingerings.
2:20 you can almost taste the spit!
2:58 it plays the same note back to back, but changes the tone of the note. Very cool.
This ToneTransfer AI Sax is amazing. Getting this level of detail in a recording with standard virtual instruments is almost impossible. AI for the win!

Very interesting. It even ended abruptly like jazz does when you finally reach over and turn the knob to the off position... =P

Amazing stuff. There's also now a mic + software that turns stuff into MIDI.
