Technical requirements

In this chapter, we'll use the following tools:

  • The command line or bash to launch Magenta from the Terminal
  • Python and its libraries to write music generation code using Magenta
  • Magenta to generate music in MIDI
  • MuseScore or FluidSynth to listen to the generated MIDI

In Magenta, we'll make the use of the Drums RNN model. We'll be explaining this model in depth, but if you feel like you need more information, the model's README in Magenta's source code (github.com/tensorflow/magenta/tree/master/magenta/models/drums_rnn) is a good place to start. You can also take a look at Magenta's code on GitHub, which is well documented. We also provide additional content in the last section, Further reading.

The code for this chapter is in this book's GitHub repository in the Chapter02 folder, located at github.com/PacktPublishing...
