🤖 Neural Network AI
Uses Google Magenta's Improv RNN model trained on thousands of jazz improvisations to create intelligent musical responses.
🎼 Real-Time Duet
The AI listens to your playing, detects chords, and generates complementary melodies in real-time for a seamless duet experience.
🎹 Multiple Input Methods
Play with computer keyboard, MIDI controller, or touch screen. Full support for all input methods on compatible devices.
🎨 Visual Feedback
See exactly who's playing what with color-coded highlights - blue for you, pink for the AI.
About AI Piano Duet
Experience the cutting edge of music technology with our AI Piano Duet tool. This innovative application uses Google's Magenta artificial intelligence to create a real-time musical duet between you and a neural network.
How It Works
The AI Piano Duet uses a sophisticated neural network called Improv RNN (Recurrent Neural Network) that has been trained on thousands of jazz improvisations. When you play a melody or chord:
- The AI analyzes your notes in real-time
- It detects the underlying chord progression
- The neural network generates a complementary melody
- The AI continues playing as long as you hold the keys
Features
