Introduction

TapeOp Composer is an AI-powered music generation device for Ableton Live that uses the Anticipatory Music Transformer (AMT) model to create musical ideas. AMT is a state-of-the-art machine learning model that generates music with musical coherence.

The device integrates directly into your Live set through Max for Live, allowing you to generate melodies, harmonies, and musical patterns that fit your creative workflow. This creative tool rewards experimentation - start with simple constraints, understand how they interact, then gradually build more complex generative systems.


Key Features

  • Intelligent constraints: Control pitch ranges, scales, timing, and note duration
  • Multi-track support: Generate music for multiple instruments simultaneously
  • Time-conditioned generation: Guide the model with dynamic constraints that evolve throughout your clip
  • Seamless integration: Works directly with Ableton Live's clips and scenes
